obviously, putting it in a bank and making 0.00000001% interest is not a good idea.

Actually, that's exactly what Mark Cuban advocates you do. I watched a YouTube interview on what appeared to be a local business show, and Cuban makes the statement that an investor should park his money in order to be able to move it quickly into investment opportunities. If I can find the interview, I'll post it here.

If i have $200k, i don't look to generate huge sum of money, $200k is enough money Imao! I won't take any risk of investing it to some other things..

I'll be the one who was in the image below, if i got $200k ;) .. No investments, enjoy with the money till it ends

It depends where you live. For example where I live (western Europe) for 200k dollar I can not even find a nice new apartment. So I would definately invest it partially into forex and the rest into a business so it can generate more money.
 
Thread title and OP are missleading.

Is this a purely theoretical question? If so then this thread is pointless.

I might aswell make another thread "Won the lottery, what to do?" Then open with... Hey guys, what would you do if you won the lottery? What would you spend it on.

0.00000001% Interest?

I don't know where the hell you bank, but getting that low of interest is rediculous. Even a basic savings account gets 3% returns.

The best option is obviously gold, but it can go down in value as well. The best way to protect your money is to invest it in a safe mutual fund. If it were me, I would throw it in a 7% CDO for 10 years.

Compound interest is what makes billionaires over time.

I'm not sure where YOU bank at, but here in America even the highest yielding savings accounts are in the .80% - 1.00% range, most are much lower. Jumbo CD's are usually around 1.5%. These rates are below the rate of inflation.

As for mutual funds, there's many different types; equities/stocks, bonds, commodities And each one of those types has many different options. For instance with bonds you have Treasuries, Corporate, State, Municipalities, Emerging Market ect. Telling someone to put their money into a "safe" one is overly simplistic. Most mutual funds invest in stocks, which have been flat for the past 10 years and inflation adjusted have been down over that time period. What makes it worse is that these funds have fees, and the vast majority of them underperform the standard market indexes (S&P, DJI).
 
Diversify - Gold and Silver, the real stuff not shares in a Gold Holding company.
 
get out of FIAT currencies invest in precious metals foods guns and invest in Asian stock markets and 3rd world countries*


*you have to research to find out good third world countries
 
I think the question is protecting about inflation. Investing in stocks or gold does not do that at all. It may turn out to be a good bet but nothing to do with inflation. Real Estate is often touted as inflation-proof but it's not a strong link. If inflation is what you care about, buy an inflation-linked security like Tips in the US or index-linked gilts in the UK. That will protect against inflation. that's what they're for. Government securities so don't expect a great yield except if inflation rises. So if the question was posed correctly, that is the right answer I think.
 
just read the us constitution money is dollars (silver) get real money and THERE IS NO INFLATION. Inflation is stealing money from regular people by printing money. It's horible.
 
Global Equities Tracker or an Emerging Markets Fund, over the long run you can expect a pretty decent return. There are lots of good investment products out there which you could enter into.

I would not even consider putting the money in a savings account unless I had a couple of millions. Like "Cnotey" story suggested, you won't see any real results from compounding until you reach day XX (now if that was in money it would be the equivalent of Mil.)... You need to have a couple of millions (close to 5mil+) to really get most out of compounding.

Learn what makes a business successful research the market, find a niche, fill a need and set up a proper business. Sell the business for a couple of millions, then do it again (and leave your millions making you money in a fixed rate account).

Oh the government guarantees it eh? It guarantees it until it doesn't?
 
Real Estate in the current market is to purchase and rent. But you need to purchase notes, fix up and rent. Hold them for when the market begins selling again. You got to go to the court steps for auctions, and other methods where you can get notes at pennies per dollar. I have done this a couple of times, but it's time consuming, also the up keep, dealing with tenants. You can also purchase 2 franchise stores like Taco Bell or Wendys. The minimum is $50k to open. Food is always a profit maker if managed well. A funeral home is also a good business, people always going to die.
 
Hello,

If you are interested in real estate investing, I suggest looking into purchasing real estate notes, and creating a monthly residual income. I buy/sell & buy/hold real estate mortgages, land contracts, and deed of trust's for the past 6 years. I can send you a investors criteria form to fill out (anyone interested as well) and explain in more detail.

Also I can show you how to utilize seller financing to buy and sell properties. I am open to JV's as well.

Take Care
