investing my money

    My directory is making good money, these days. I was wondering if any of you invested you money into something else then the directory industry. I read somewhere that in the forex industry, you can make around %200 per year if you are good at it. I found a site, some sort of platform offering forex signals, and I approached its owner.
    What do you think, should I invest my money there? The rates are pretty attractive.

    Forex is about using leverage for better returns but if your theories go wrong you can also lose a lot. Options can give you a nice return. I would just follow the stock market and look for buying opportunities.

    Invest in property once you have enough for a deposit.

    Bricks and mortar work well!

    There are great opportunities in the stock market if your are patient. For example I loaded up on Goldman Sachs in the $170 range when all the subprime and credit fears reached a high point. Now the stock is at $204. Its all about taking your time and not trying to become a millionaire over night in the stock market.

    You could always sink some money into an index fund. An index fund is a large pool of the top 5-100 companies on a stock market's listing. By spreading out your investment you are better protected if a single company goes down for the count. It's called diversification.

    If your looking to invest it into Forex, then make sure your not investing all your money. Invest only 30%-40% at most.

    Rule #1 about investments: No one knows where the market is going, there is NO guaranteed return.

    Don't be fooled by anyone who guarantees returns, you have to do your homework or pay a consultant to do it for you.

    I heard that you have to keep it for at least 3-4 years for getting good return, is that true ?

    it depends on the stock market situation, if ur willing to wait for 3-4 yrs then ur better of investing in stocks directly.
    u can get returns of about 200-300% + doing absolutely nothing.
