Investing: The Art Of Making Your Money Work For You
There is a lot to know about investing. It all depends on
what type of investing you are interested in as well. There
are many different types of investment options out there. So
what is investing, specifically?
When you invest, you are paying in a certain amount of money
that you expect to grow with time. Most investments are
considered long term investments meaning you will not get
your money back right away but if you leave your money in,
it can multiply dramatically over time. Types of Investing:
Real Estate Investing, Bonds, Stock Investing, Mutual Funds,
401K. With stock investing, many of the younger investors
see the market as a way to get rich quick. They are quick
to sell off the stock that they have when it goes up or if
they see it go down a little, they get nervous and sell it
off. If they hold the investment and ride it out, they are
much more likely to see it grow.
If you are going to be investing, the key to success is
asset allocation. You need to vary your assets by
investing in more than one type. So just how do you do this
exactly? Well, you need to know what the 4 major types are
first.
(1) U.S. Stocks are one. They are represented by the S&P 500
Index (2) Foreign Stocks is another; represented by EAFE
Index (Europe, Australia and Far East) (3) Real estate,
represented by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts Equity Index (4) Commodities;represented
by the Goldman Sachs.
The key to a growing portfolio is finding a
balance
between the ups and downs of these many assets. For
example, if one year stocks seem to be down, real estate or
commodities may be up. So if you are ready to get started
with investing, what do you need to know? First, you need to
decide how much money you have to invest safely.
If you decide to invest in mutual funds, you will be asked
if you want a high, medium or low risk stock. If you invest
in high, there is of course, more risk involved but if it is
successful, you will see much higher returns. If you go with
a low risk, you will not lose as much if it doesn't work
out but you will not gain large amounts if it is successful.
It's really all about how much money you have and how much
you feel comfortable with risking.
Whatever you choose, there is really no reason not to
invest. There are so many opportunities that can be tried
with little investment and little risk of loss. If you are
considering it,it is easy to learn a little more about it to
form your decisions of which way to go and then invest your
money and watch it grow! The money you invest may return
money for your college, kid's college, retirement, to buy a
house or whatever your needs are. There's no reason not to
get started today.
