Which one is the Real Investment?
What are the two kinds of investment? One is by purchasing equipment, supplies, tools, or goods that can be used in the production of something. Thus, it brings profit to you when you’ve sold the finish product. An illustration of this is a man who has a business of producing shoes. To allow himself to produce more shoes while saving time, he will purchase a machine that automatically stitches leathers.
Another kind of investment is the usual thing that comes to our mind when someone says the word “investing”. That means we utilize our current money so that there will be a profit soon.
Now that you’ve learned the two kinds of investment, did you know that there are also ways of investing money so that you can gain a profit? The methods of investing are: exchanging currencies in the FOREX market, stocks and bonds, annuities, mutual funds, certificates of deposits, buying a real estate and then selling it in a higher price soon, IRA’s, and including the easy savings account. Loaning your brother-in-law a few bucks, at a reasonable interest rate of course is a way of investment.
More often than not, the more dangerous an investment is, the bigger possibility that you’ll gain massive profit and in its negative aspect, the smaller fund you’ve allotted for that business, the profit you’ll earn is also smaller. FDCI ensures savings accounts. Thus, it is not realistic that your money will massively profit if you’ll just put it in a bank.
There’s no so much risk in savings account. So if we’ll focus on our theory regarding big and small investment, you will really not gain so much profit from savings account. But it’s also one of the best deeds to have liquid assets and having savings account is a form of this. Most people who belong to the middle class should have one so that in case of emergency or loss of job, they can still continue living.
I know there are still a lot of people who do save money through putting it in a can then burying it somewhere so that no one, including himself can get it when he wants and not needs. But is it really an investment? The answer is no. Your money is just stocked in a place, it isn’t used and therefore, it does not gain any profit.
Let’s focus now on the real investing. If you want to invest your money and see that it really profits, you may purchase a stock in a company. By doing this, you’ll also be a member of that company. There are two ways to gain money from this. You may secure your dividends or just sell your stock higher than the price you’ve paid for it. Isn’t it a simple way of investment? The primary concept that should be followed here is really simple. But the erratic stock market each day makes it hard. There is no assurance that your stock will gain a net income and not net loss. You should just be very careful on choosing a company you’re going to be with because if you’ve chosen a good one, you’ll wholly receive a net income.
You might be asking which one brings more risk? Is it loaning money to your brother-in-law or buying stocks by closing your eyes and pointing? Well, it depends on your sister’s taste in men. If you think your brother-in-law can really make it to your agreement, then it brings less risk.
If you really want to invest, be sure you’ve answered these questions: How
much of a return on your investment you want to see and how much risk you are
comfortable with? Answer those and we’ll welcome you to the world of investing.
