How Americans Are Getting Creative With Their Investments

By Chuck R Stewart

2008 and 2009 have proven to be some of the most trying years for the stock market. It has record high lows and has most people that had invested in stocks has lost money on their investments this past year. Because of that, a lot of people are not wanting to invest in the stock market andsimply saving their money in regular bank savings accounts which really do not earn much interest. For many people, losing half of the retirement or college funds has scared them into not wanting to buy stocks again. This is understandable but people should not be nervous to once again invest in the market.

The stock market has plummeted several times before always rebounding so if people are just patient, it will get better over time. Another good idea is to be a bit more creative with your money. One example is to use a DO, or a direct offering. This is a way to invest in a smaller business that has not gone public yet but is about to, they just need to raise capitalto make that possible. By being one of the investors in that smaller company, you can choose to greatly understand quite a bit about the company first.

Where do you discover a direct offering? As a person who is deciding on whether or not to invest in a DO, you can find out about these smaller companies from a financial advisor or even by a search on the world wide web. Once you have picked a small company that is in need of funds, be certain you research that it is a legitimate business and not something that is just trying to take your money and run. Once that is determined to be areputable company you will be notified when the company's shares willbe resold to the public. You can invest a lot or just a little, that all depends on how comfortable you are with the risk factor involved. As with several opportunities that could be lucrative, there is a risk involved and the possibility that your money will be lost. This however, offers those that arenervous to buy stocks oflarger companies that have already lost them money in the stock market a new unique way to possibly make some money differently.

As we all have seen, all big companies that end up successful have started out small at some point and this is your chance to do just that. By going with the direct offering idea, you also eliminate the middle man which could help with your end result also.

With the struggling economy currently, people wanting to be wise|smart] with their money are looking for other optionson how to invest. This is just an example of how to do that and hopefully own shares of a company that once going publicwill continue to prosper and therefore make you money unlike bigger companies that are going under. - 23199
