Anyone got any good ideas on this?

Upgrade to Jr. Vip

probably a good start..

create 500 sites. you can get your money back in 4-6 months.

500 sites, doing what?

Create a hella good product, hire a programmer to create an idea and sell it or find a good, low cost distributor to start a product site like selling clothes, take some PPC courses and invest money in advertising.

BANK
You will get Interest

yeh but the interest is minimal..would rather invest in a tangiable business offering good ROI

buy up some foreclosed property, fix it up if need be and rent it out or flip it entirely

good in theory perhaps, but i dont live in the US, are there really foreclosures going for 50k or less?

Setup an SEO company in a country such as India.. Once you get a stable source of clients, you should be making decent money per month.

Thats crazy man, I always read about foreclosures going for like $100 and such, but how and why :/ do they sell the houses so cheap ?

So sad for the previous house owners.

if you were in the us I would say real estate. Picked up my place for 45k and the lady bought it a few years ago for 206000. It was a short sale so it took a lot longer but was worth it.

you could give it to me

Find 5 niches that you are interested in and invest 10k in each of them. That way you are minimizing the risk and on other side you won't have the difficulties to look over 500 sites. Making a lot of site will result in diseconomies of scale.

No banks, Microsoft stock(MSFT). Buy 1900 shares at $25.76 for $48,944 then you collect a 4% dividend per year.

That's not all you do though, sell Out of the Money calls against your stock and you can reasonably expect 20% return over the year if you do it right.

Right now I'd sell the January 26 for $0.54. You pocket $1002 now, stock goes down the option expires worthless, you still own the stock, and you keep selling options. If it ends January over 26 you make 26-25.76= .24 * 1900 = $450. Add in the 1002 and you've made $1452 in 30 days.

365/30 = 12.1 * 1002 = 12,000 so you can expect at least 12,000 per year for an annualized return of 25% with very little risk.

Do a jv with a reputable and mediabuying firm/freelancer.... guap in that my friend

Would it not be better to wait for Facebook to go public.

Facebook float could value company at $100bn

Facebook Will Go Public In Second Quarter 2012!

facebook is going to come out at an absurd ipo valuation, pop as retail investors blindly jump into it then eventually trade to below the ipo price just like lnkd, grpn, znga

and regarding the msft strategy, selling covered calls is a decent way to play this market but you try and make it sound like its risk free when its really not. obviously msft doesnt swing around that much but if the stock gets killed on the downside the covered call will only cover a small portion of the losses

You can joint venture with someone on this forum who can't invest but willing to work on a great idea. Having many parallel joint ventures will give you edge over Learning and revenue. Your time will also be saved

Short term you might lose some paper money, but in the long run ( >1year) you'll wind up holding more money than you started with.

Not completely safe but it's probably the lowest risk idea in this market.

edit: I wouldn't touch facebook with a 10 foot pole after this whole SOPA thing.

Is this just cyber talk or do you really have 50,000? If you really got it get the jr. vip. I am tired of people bullshitting on forums.

I hope you are not benzopravin

Buy an apartment in FL and rent it out. Collect $10k/yr in rent. Your rent goes up every year, your property value will also go up over time. Very safe investment, very good return.

Like a boss.

Best way to invest $50k is to buy food for the people who cant buy food for them...do some thing to create tangible job for the people who dont have job...or give it way to them who are not being able to get education...just because of money...

Get in Facebook now: www.sharespost.com.
I dont know what the minimum is or requirements but its open to retail investors. You might have to pool your money with someone

The taxes would be very high.

Dude you HAVE to invest in GOLD. First make a fortune buying undervalued gold jewellery on ebay etc or even offerring your own "cash 4 Gold" scheme in your local area. You can pick up a gold valuation kit for next to nothing and it's pretty simple to go around and hand in flyers. Offer the lowest amount of cash you can for the unwanted jewellery that people are trying to get some quick cash for. Then call around all your local scrap metal guys and sell off your gold to the highest bidder. Alternatively, smelt your jewellery and scrap gold down and store it securely at your nearest safety deposit place or whatever, because as sure as your born we're gonna be at war with china in the next few years and seeing as they are one of the biggest buyers of gold on the planet,my money's betting on your own personal reserve being a pretty safe get out of jail card should the shit hit the fan. Just my two cents. Other than that, I'd blow it on whores and the finest charlie I could get my hands on and blow my brains out once I'd spent it all.

I dont think SOPAs going to pass. Google/Facebook/Ebay/Yahoo/Twitter/Wikipedia and everybody else could just post a message on their homepage like Tumblr did.

Looking for such a partner. I am from India and would love to have someone who could invest and bring some business in as well.

How ever you made $50k, Do what ever you did, x10.

That's honestly what i'd do, Invest the money in the same method and do it faster and better.

+REP, IPOs are insanely inflated and typically just get dumped on the public while the investment banks unload their positions. If you look at trading history most IPOs are trading significantly below the initial price after 60-90 days. Sometimes you can eek out a profit in the first few days, and in other cases like Zynga you are left holding the bag from the getgo (http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3AZNGA)

Selling out of the money calls/puts isn't as "risk free" as people seem to think, given this insane volatility. "It works 100% of the time 80% of the time." Just make sure you are covered on the downside as I know a few people who got completely skinned selling "risk free out of the money options".

He wants to invest for a positive ROI, not giveaway all his hard earned money to save the whales.



I guess you could always screen print save the whales tshirts and sell them to people like frozenocean and kickflip.

I would invest 33% in physical metals (Gold & Silver) after the massive pullback we are seeing. If you can find some cashflow positive real estate in a college/university cities that would be something to look at as well, and then invest the rest in what made you the 50k in the first place.

I don't think so. If you need to ask on a forum "Where to invest $50k" then you will probably end up losing lots of it to someone who isn't a good person, who won't donate to charity. If we didn't have people who donate tons of their money, we wouldn't have a lot of cures for diseases that we have now. We would be years behind in cancer research. Less people would be able to attend school. More people would die and suffer.

Less people dying and suffering.... Nope, don't see the downside.

And whether its a joke or not from you, comparing giving food to starving people to environmental causes like saving the whales, is just being silly. I really don't see the joke there.

Look, I can post a funny picture too:



Except that boy in the picture probably died by now from malnutrition. And some of you guys need to get advice from a forum on what color Ferrari to buy. I am not against people growing their income and enjoying their wealth at all, but when someone suggests we try to help people who are starving, how about we don't try to make that person look foolish?

I would have to say, someone just got burned!!!!! Very intelligent reply I might add

lol ' invest your money on best way

buy gold. never invest on banks. an economic collapse is upcoming next year!!

Invest in Facebook in the new year.

lol.. but it would be an best idea
