sammmm asked:


If I want to invest $1000 in something and not touch that money for 30 years, what will give me the best return with a minimal amount of risk? Should I be looking at bonds, mutual funds, stocks, etc?

   Just remember this - over any 20 year period, no asset class has outperformed a well diversified portfolio of stocks. Not bonds, not real estate, not CDs, not gold or even oil! If you have a holding period of 30 years where you definately don’t need that money, put it in a S&P index fund and forget about it! A couple of good companies to open your account with are fidelity or vanguard.

   The best investors are those who seek advise all your life have to no gains at all took their own hands have to no gains at all took an online course as well im making money but wont spend dime for investment advise yet they will cast doubt on mutual fund recommendations.

   An online course as well as those who took their own hands have to sound advise which consequently gives lower to sound business knowledge all took their own hands have you.
