If I have a lot of money, I will divide it into several parts, about 60% of money I will buy the bonds, because bonds are low risky and stable, they can bring you profit higher than interest; about 30% of the money I will buy the stocks, I like to learn the trend of a stock share and it's more risky, if you are experienced in stock investing you will gain more profit from it; and about the rest, I will buy some futures or keep it when necessary. Yes, like someone said, how to invest depends on your property and your knowledge.

it will depend on the money.if I have a not-so-big amount,a time deposit or mutual fund will do.if I have a big amount,I will invest in stocks.I may also buy a condominium unit and have it rented.before investing it is better to know what are the available investments in the market,so you can invest wisely.

i will go to low risk investment. but many wise investors said that an investment is risky only if you do not know about it but invest anyway. so, i will invest in something that i know about. how about you?

HYIP is not an investment. It is kind of gambling. Forex is a high risk investment. But there are many forex brokers who will play with your ask/bid and scam you so you should be careful in selecting brokers if you want invest in forex. Spreading money into risk categories is always a good idea. If you think about HYIP at all - spray your money only that much you afford to kiss it goodbye.

I have to say it depends on your answer to this question: Which type of investment are you interested to know and be good at? It is because the fact is its not really about the money alone, money is very fluid it can go to anywhere in just a blink. However, it must also be clear that most if not all, high risk investments are also high in return if successful. Furthermore, if you know much about such investment, I would say your having control of your boat with a lesser risk of circumstantial accident, not to mention the frustration of losing your money with a large question marks on your head. That is why most good investors love what they are doing that is also why they are very good at it. It works that way. Lets love it first, and deal with it and all the fun and excitement it brings. Surely things wont just happen the way you want it in a night. May take some time, but hey! It happens... More power to you!

Either high or low risk investment there is its a risk but you just have chose a program which the risk is spread,what I mean is that the risk will almost cancel out due to the structure of the program.

High risk investment with a lot of knowledge in what you invest. Depends on the amount of money too, with too much I wouldn't spend it all in a high risk investment but rather a low risk one.. I think the knowledge is necessary because elsewise it comes down to luck.. you may be better of with betting on something where you have a bit of knowledge..
