What do you think is the best investment for low income people?

I have heard safe strategies like CD’s Money Markets, and on the other hand heard high risk investments for younger people and precious metals, gold, silver etc. Any good ideas for the low income people?

How much will a home investor offer for our House?

My wife and I own our home and have a small second mortgage,(15,000).

We want to sell the house and move closer to work.
But the house is over 100 years old and is in need of work.

The current fair market value is about 70,000.

We have been recently getting a number of letters of interest on the property from investors (Homevestors is one).

The catch is the house is almost completely alone on the city block, with only one other house on the other end of the block.

The urban area where we live is seeing a large amount of revitalization,Including major develpoments only a few blocks away.

The city owns most of the property surrounding our lot, meaning we could be forced out later.

However we feel that the property,not the house itself, could be very valuable to redevelopment.

What kind of offer could we expect?What would you do?

Any help is appreciated.

Options investment strategy?

I’m trying to come up with my own primitive ways of option investment strategy. The only thing I can intuitively come up with (I’m a Finance undergrad) is look at either the historical price change for the underlier, or the historical price change for the option contracts them self. Am I wrong for going about it this way? I basically want to track extremely volatile stocks/options.

Need short term (5 – 10 years) investing advice?

I have a friend who is a big wig with UBS helping me out with some investing strategies. He’s loaded and doesn’t need my money.

I came to him with this criteria. I have $10k – $15K to invest over the next couple of years and looking to take whatever it matures to in 5 – 10 years to pull out and use to put into a house (already making payments on land).

I already have a small amount invested in a Roth IRA, and a larger (about $15k) amount invested in a traditional IRA with American Funds.

His advice was to continue to pump money into my IRA accounts (Roth first if I qualify, which I think I do) and 401K on a monthly basis, and invest my lump sum in a joint account with American Funds. Apparently this is a better option that doing a UBS account because they have a pretty steep anual fee (like I said, he’s a friend, so he’s not pushing company stuff to make a buck).

Apparently the downside in the joint account with my wife is that I will be taxed on my earnings. My question to you is do you agree that this is a good investment approach to take based on the scenario given? And what types of investments should he make within the joint account (I don’t have any experience with this)? I’ve had this money sitting in my checking account for far too long, and I need to do something with it. I currently work in a place that provides housing as part of my compensation package, so its a good time for me to invest this money for a house in the future.

Open to your thoughts. I’m not an investment guru, but smart enough to know just about anything is better than having $20+k in my checking account gathering dust. I’ve waited too long to pull the trigger, and need some positive reinforcement before making this decision.

Thanks,

Is this investment strategy feasible?

I’m learning about investing and stuff and just had a small idea. Considering most stock prices go down in a crisis, if fundamentals are relatively the same, companies will endure although prices will go down due to lower future earnings expectations. Could you just go ahead and buy the biggest foreign companies with ADR’s of a country currently in crisis/recession and wait for the market to bounce back? This is easier said than done obviously, but in a general sense.

Is this a smart investment strategy?

While I am not new to investing I have wondered if this is a good strategy to take. My long term goals are to be moderately aggressive to aggressive with my portfolio but to reach that goal I would like to save up more money, short-term, in a more conservative portfolio, such as in bond funds. I would plan to do this for no more then three months then move to the long term goal stated above. Is this a smart move or not? Serious replies only, thank you.
