Topic: What is the best investment? - page 11. (Read 11085 times)

I think there are no best in investment
because I think everything will going up and down. 

Where I am - the best investment in terms of risk/reward without requiring a significant amount of skill and effort is just property. Property just keeps going up. Otherwise - you might be decent at picking stocks or if you're extremely talented (and this is edge cases) - you could pick your own stocks with your own capital. But honestly, no one is going to give you advice that works perfectly as all forms of investment are about getting an edge over someone else - in nearly everything for you to make significant money you have to 'take' it from someone else (exception is business where people freely trade money for your G/S).

Bitcoin is a good investment. But the price is volatile. It is better not to hold too much of it. Trading a little bit is OK.

Well the best return you may have nowadays and is showing it is bitcoin,last month it was on the 300 dollars and it had raised 100 dollars ,soo its 30% i doubt there is such investment giving such reward the thing is that you can go full and blind into bitcoin as it can drop and make you cry .

If your in a country that has High inflation rates then it would be good to invest in real estate as the worth of it keeps on increasing over time but you need to always be alert, it's like trading but using lands so be aware of which places are going to have an improved levels of living in near future then buy it and once everything is good then the price of it is certainly higher as well and that's the time you could sell it... Other than that is of course BTCitcoin for obvious reasons

There is nothing else under the sun worth investing long term besides Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the only thing that will resist the hyperinflation insanity while being fit for the 21 century and beyond.

Something that holds/increases it's value over time.

Real state use to be very good, but then with the crisis it is doubtful that a big profit would be obtained. Futhermore, you need lots of cash to buy real state.

Bitcoin can go wrong (risky) but looks good. I would invest at least some on it.

I see. I was thinking along the lines of gold bars and silver coins rather than crude oil. What are the cons to investing in them?

I'm listening...

There is no universal answer to this question. It depends on:

1) Risk aversion or risk tolerance
2) Can you afford to lose the capital
3) What returns are you looking for

Without this information the question is unanswerable.

If you are just looking for high returns the answer is anything with volatility. Anything. Penny stocks. Altcoins. Anything. Then time the wild swings of price correctly and you'll make a lot of money. Time the swings incorrectly: you lose.

The best for A is not the best for B and not the best for C...etc.
 

The best investment according to me is patience...
I know it sucks when you need to remain silent on few things, but you will need to currently wait and watch the markets as I feel if you are into Bitcoins and want to invest in it, better stay away from it currently as you don't know what will be the lows these days...
You should wait till the first 20 days of November, then you can go ahead and get some good amount of BTC at lower rates because that's when the real manipulation game starts...

Commodities is mainly suitable to be invested by institutions. The commodity price is cyclical, ordinary people cannot grasp the peak and bottom. The main benefit of commodity investment is a hedge against inflation.

For stock investment, if you find a good company, you can hold the shares for very long time and benefit from the price rise.

The best, in my opinion, is not put all the money in the same investment. You can have a part on stocks and another part on bitcoins. And only invest what you can afford to loose.

what i would not do though is sell bitcoin to invest into fiat for real estate..
so if you only have a huge pile of bitcoin.. keep it..

but if u are starting off with fiat.. then for me id say split your funds.
50% real estate
50% bitcoin.

as for the time scales.. well you can flip a house in under a year, and bitcoin has the potential to double in under a year (thanks to reward halving)
so its not so easy to say if its a short or long term investment.. it just depends on the environment and bitcoin/real estate market conditions.

Noted! Thank you all. It seems like real estate is the better investment for long-term and bitcoins for short.
What about commodities? I don't see people investing in them much.

The good thing about real estate is that you get rent paid every month and you still have your money, but are not able to spend more than a fraction at a time. This also limits spending sprees and encourages you to be frugal. And after 8 - 12 years its 100% profit, while you could still sell the property. Just don't buy at the peak of a bubble.... If the apartment is small AND fancy in a popular location, you can rent it out on a weekly basis to tourists for much higher amounts.

I think in Hungary there are currently lots of options to buy small apartments for dirt cheap ($30,000) at the moment. A real estate mogul friend of mine told me it would be a good idea to invest in that, but I haven't researched or looked into it. Please don't take my word for it, and do your own research. These are just ideas. He basically said it as a fleeting comment so I don't even know whether he looked into it that much or not. Someone else told me Hungary is too expensive for real estate... but that person didn't know shit to be honest.

What I thought was hilarious is that a friend of mine in the UK lives in fancy hotels throughout the entire year because with deals, negotiation and all the services provided it is much cheaper for him than to rent an apartment. He does own a property but he doesn't plan to live there, so it's rented out for a higher price than he pays for hotels. Ridiculous...

I am with you on this one, real estate is a great way to invest your money.

i would say real estate are the best for investment, but nowadays investing just getting too risky so i didn't invest any btc yet, will be better saving on gold

Definitely real estate for a long term investment, but get some knowledge on trading.
