What to Invest In, How to Invest & Where to Invest Money (Beginner Investor)
The wide array of available investment products can sometimes be overwhelming for new / beginning investors, most especially for those who do not have anyone they can easily turn to for investing advice. The most common investing issues involve: What to invest in, how to invest and where to invest money.
What to invest in and where to invest money?
“What to invest in?” and “Where to invest money?” are two key questions frequently asked by beginning investors. A new investor has the option of investing his or her money in a wide range of financial instruments that can generate high or low returns on their money. Some investors (retirees, etc.) may be contented with low returns due to the relative safety, regularity and assumed guarantee of such earnings (like the one provided by Bonds). Other investors, however, depending on their age, financial goal and risk tolerance, are more interested in high return / high risks instruments to invest in.
