These days more people turn to the Internet as a major or secondary source of income. Indeed, the web offers us a whole sea of investment and moneymaking opportunities, from 50% a month to %5 a day. Still, most mediocre investors are rookies. They know little or nothing about genuine investment opportunities and cannot tell fakes from real winners. That is why most of them lose money in the long run.
In this article we will try to take a closer look at the subject of investing to find out what is safer and more beneficial for small-scale retail investors.
First of all, experts say that an investment choice depends on certain financial goals and risk tolerance. For example, if you are a mediocre investor with risk tolerance equal or close to zero, you are not recommended to invest in stocks or trade Forex. The best way for such guys are bank deposits with zero risk but tiny/insignificant income that barely covers inflation. If you can tolerate some minor risks, you can invest in US or European bonds with slightly higher yields than those offered by banks. If a trader is risky and is ready to go all-in for major profits, stocks are more suitable as investment instruments. It is also possible to trade Forex (currencies) but both stock and Forex trading requires certain skills to profits from this activity in the long run. Apparently, these days it is possible to trust your money with professionals (like PAMM services offered by many broking companies, or investment or hedge funds involved in stock trading).
Some companies (like Alpari, for example) offer structured products created by professional managing traders. These products are like ready-made portfolios with low risks and pretty decent profit potential. On average, such products promise 15-20% a year.
When it comes to minimal investment sum, there is no borders. You can invest even as little as $50-$100. Still, you won't be able to benefit a lot from such investments. Still, in order to create a full-fledged investment portfolio with balanced risks and profit potential, it is recommended to start from several thousand dollars.
