Deciding Where To Invest

By Owen Jones

There are quite a few different kinds of investments out there, and there are several factors, which you should use to determine where you should invest your money.

Of course, deciding where you will invest begins with researching the various types of investments available, determining your risk tolerance, and determining your investment style and your financial goals.

If you wanted to purchase a new car, for example, you would do a fair bit of research before taking a final decision and a making a purchase. You would not think about purchasing a car that you had not fully investigated and taken for a test drive. Investing your money works in very much the same way.

You would, of course, learn as much about the investment as possible, and you would want to see how past investors have done as well. It's just common sense!

Does learning about the stock market and investments take lots of time? Yes, but it is definitely time well spent. There are numerous books and websites on the topic, and you can even take college level courses on the topic, which is what stock brokers do. With access to the Internet, you can actually play the stock market with fake money in order to get a feel for how it works.

You can make pretend investments in a pretend portfolio often called a 'Wish List' and see how they perform. Do a search with any search engine for 'Stock Market Games' or 'Stock Market Simulations', although almost any online stock broker provides these services. It really is a great way to start learning about investing in the stock market.

Other types of investments outside of the stock market do not always have simulators, so you will have to learn about those types of investments the hard way - by reading.

As a potential investor, you must study thing you can possibly get your paws on about investing, but make sure you start at the lowest level of investment books and websites, otherwise, you will quickly discover that you are are hopelessly lost.

Lastly, speak with a financial adviser. Tell her your aims and ask them for their proposition. This is their job! A good financial planner can easily help you decide where to put your funds, and help you set up a plan to reach all your financial goals. Many advisers will even show you about investing along the way, so make sure you pay very close attention to what they are telling you! - 23199
