Orator is on a distinguished road
Default A state of uncertainty

I have some funds to invest. I have tried in shares and now the index is sloping downward. I thought over real estate for a while their business is at a stand still. I know my wealth will not grow there for a few years though I will have a long term advantage but I have no patience to wait for that distance. The Bullion is volatile and the bank rate is unpredictable. The bond too is not a good buy at this juncture.

I know the value of my money will depreciate and I will not be able to cope with inflation if I do not find a way out now.

I am sure this forum has people who have lots of experience to share

I've heard that the real estate market is in recession these days and it will boom again after spring 2012 so you should invest in real estate business after that because then you'll definitely get profitable return on your investment..!!

With real estate is it not more important to have the rent coming in as opposed to the value of the property?

RE equities/bullion - these are very volatile times at the moment, you could look at some emerging markets maybe?

hi Orator
you might try to look in the direction of funds, but regular persons are not able to contact them directly so you need to liase through a financial advisor
banks also offer these services but i suspect they take a higher fee because it is simply comfortable to use them

otherwise diversify because it is not clear where all this situation is going. do have a portion in real estate simply because houses can not disappear - you can always wait it out.

but ya, otherwise its not easy

if you know of small companies you can invest in you can become a sort of a angel investor, but if you are just a regular person this is out of the question i think

why don't you try investing in yourself rather than in other people? So many people invest in other people's success that I wander whether this would be a better world if everyone instead had faith in THEMSELVES to make THEIR OWN profit, instead of feeding off the crumbs of others' success.

All of the ultra wealthy people I know have one thing in common: they have full ownership in everything they do.
