investing money in stock market? or special savings? or time deposits?

I only tried Bitcoin, buy at lower price and withdraw at higher price like Forex

At the moment property isn't too bad (at least in the UK) or land is always a good investment, it practically never goes down, although being 18 I can't say I know much about well, anything so take anything and everything I say with a pinch of salt.

I suggest that you do not keep all your eggs in one basket. You can distribute your investment in many instruments so that the risk of losing is reduced.

maybe you can separated your money, i mean if you have a large amount of money, you can put half of it into the fixed deposit, and some in the special saving account. i do believe that you can purchase unitrust from the bank or other funds which is like stock, but the risk is lesser than purchasing stock. you can try to invest some in those fund if your bank has this kind of offer. then you can also take some of the money to spend in stock market. i am sure that everyone is learn from experience. i do believe if we are not involve in stock market, we will never know how to invest in it, but if you involve yourself in stock market, automatically you will go to study through the information and asking other people experience. of course i am not encourage people to purchase stock, because it is quite risky, but if you are thinking to keep it and earn dividen, maybe it is a good experience in your life. don't just keeping our point at whether we gain or lose, just take it as an experience, i do believe you can gain more knowledge in this financial view too =) good luck to you. but don't put all your money into the same matter, you can reduce the risk by separate them =) if not, you can also try some online earning site like those investing site, just spend a little money to learn from it. good luck

I would suggest doing some heavy research online about investment and investing. Learn everything you can about everything you can. I would recommend going for the options with the least amount of risk. Risk is not good for your money. there are a lot of options out there and a lot of ways to invest, so read up, and become more informed about this kinda stuff. You want to know what you are getting yourself into before you get into it.

If you have enough money its always adviisable to invet it in real estate because thisos an ever appreciating market however you can put in a fixed deposit account wichich mean guaaranteed payment and returns on your investment

Hi zaga_cleuth, If you want higher returns then you have to accept higher risks as they go hand in hand. Investing in stocks may be a good idea if you know what you're doing. However, you're right to say that you need the knwledge and this knowledge does not come overnight. I'm afraid the only way is to educate yourself through much reading and studying. And having lots of discipline and patience. If you have money to spare you could also check out investment in property. Meanwhile you should park your money in some very safe schemes like fixed deposits in a bank.

Time deposit is also a good form of investment. But it would depend on the institution where you will be investing your money. You should make a thorough study of the marketing scheme they offered, the stability of the company and what other investors say about the company. But personally, if I have the amount to invest, I would go into business ventures of the area that I like most. Although this kind of investment requires more time but I know this would be better because you could personally check the flow of your investment from time to time.

Investment is a a good thing to do in order to grow money. There's a few of things you could do with your money. Some you have already mentioned of course. Actually it all depends on the type of person you are. Depending on yourself there's a few types of risk involve. Low risk consist of savings accounts, fixed deposit and such. There's also medium risk and high risk. If you're the type who doesn't mind waiting, i suggest you find a trust funds. Trust funds depending on the trust management team will give you around 7 - 10% at least. The best performing so far that i see in my country manage a record of 16% in return last year. Of course there's also a risk but there's some way for you to manage the risk which is to diversify your investment. I mean do not put all your money into one place. Put it in a few. Stock market,bonds,forex,oil or even gold are also tradeable. Another type of investment. This kind of investment is high risk especially for those with little to zero knowledge. You need to be ready to accept lossest. This kind of investment takes time to learn. Read the market. Signals to be understood etc.

You can earn more in the stock market but you have to educate yourself more about it. Time deposits can earn you 5-7% each year but if you are well educated in the stock market you can even earn your money 20-30% in a good year. Usually rookie traders lose money in the first 3 years, but as you gain more experience you will eventually breakeven usually in the 5th year...
