You have10 000 at your disposal for investment purposes, (avoid option 1 and consider option 2)
option 1
invest in a fixed deposit at a financial institution(bank) or take out an investment policy with one of this popular institutions.
You will be asked to fix it for at least five(5) years earning an interest of less than 10%pa, it is risk free but the return are very low and the interest is not
even compounded meaning your interest earned on the first year will to be added to the capital to calculate the interest for second year, so you will earn interest on fixed capital
What you don't know is your 10 000 will be used to make hundreds of thousands through trading, which brings us to ur second option and highly recommended
option 2
Ever heard of trading in a stock exchange like the JSE (Johannesburg Stock Exchange )
the process is very easy if you know what you are doing and the process is yet very difficult if you don't know what you are doing.
The participants in the stock market bears high risk and high returns for everyone, the is as compared to the first option is that you can loose all your 10 000, therefore you need to be able to minimize this high risk, how do you minimize a stock market product rist
-select one or two products traded on the stock exchange
-study their market base
-study the sensitivity of their price change form other factors
-measure the elasticity of that price change
-find out which factors affect their reaction,(politics, inflation, demand, supply, corruption etc.)
-keep a consistent observation on those selected products until you can be able to predict how the react to those factors
Only when you have done that, then you can now risk with your 10 000, because you no longer facing a high risk but a calculated risk with high returns
Now you open your trading account only if you have studied that market, if you are not sure open a trading portfolio with a broker, but highly recommend that you trade for yourself.
Now option two is how financial institutions make their money and you can too.
