[bringitnow28329]

Are many of these comments a joke? If not I really don't see why people are wasting their time posting.

5OK that’s a hefty amount, According to me try investing in different field’s or sectors that would eventually split your money and at least make you more secure about your investment from different sources. Thus the risk would also be divided as per the income source.

People don't know that you can actually become a MM in the markets. You must be a great trader but even great traders don't do it because they don't know it. It's just as simple as having a ratio stop loss/take profit 1:2 and more tan 50% of winning trades. If you do an anti-martingale it's just a matter of litlle time that you will achieve it.

Larry Williams was the first in doing it, in the book it's explained.

I'd get a Winnebago and go cross county with a camcorder. Does this help?


Mods, might be a good idea to sticky one of these threads.

Love this idea. Definitely should be stickied.

Just go double it 10 times, 50 mil. Then I'd light MY cigar with it.

Double 10 Times = 50 Million

2x(10x50,000)=50,000,000

GENIUS!

GENIUS!

2x(10x50,000) =2x500,000 = 1,000,000 unless u meant
(2 x10)(2x50,000)=20x100,000= 2,000,000

50,000 x2=100,000 x2 = 200,000 x2 = 400,000 x2 = 800,000 x2 = 1,600,000 x2 =
3,200,00 x2 = 6,400,000 x2 =12,800,000 x2 = 25,600,000 x2 = **52,000,000**

Thanks for the responses. To give some info on me, I own one business. This is my second business. Started from the lint in my pocket with very very little help. 24 years old with no kids, no house payment, etc. I work for my money but with this 50k I would more or less like to invest into something less labor intensive. I was asking you guys what YOU would do with 50k RIGHT NOW to put into anything that you know could turn a decent profit. Of course I have ideas and I will keep investing and turning a profit accordingly if those play out to be the best option. I am emotionally detached from this money and I will be as active as I need be if the ROI is right. Basically what I was getting at was that a lot in life people sit back and go " I know if I had enough money to buy/invest in ______, I KNOW I could flip/turn/make a good profit". I have ideas but i'm asking you if you set aside 50k where would be your best bet in investing it? Im just looking to brainstorm a few possible ideas. Thanks again

I have 50k to invest right now. Most people say " Man, if I just had X amount of money I could easily turn that to X amount ".

That's because most people are idiots.

Let me translate:

"The excuse I'm using to explain why I'm not rich is because I don't have $x."

And to be honest, they will never have $x because they will always need that excuse to explain their lack of desire to become rich.

No offense.

There are hundreds of ways to use retail arbitrage to your advantage. Find one that can keep your interest and test with a small amount until you can start doubling that small amount in 30 days. Then try larger amounts as you get better. Before you know it you will not be able to spend enough capital and that's the problem you want.

 

[Soulrize]

I believe there's two types of people op, spenders and savers. If you collected yourself 40 or 50k, whatever the large denominator you probably did so by working and being frugal. While there's nothing wrong with this inherently, it just comes when you want to "invest" which is a word for spending. There are people here and most I would say that take risk all day every day spending money in order to make money which is what a investment is. The lot of them all have their failures and experience and those that do persist though for a second bite of the cherry are the ones that would be a better investment. In other words it would be best to invest your money into a spender with a history of previous failure and experience who is now successful, mature, and professional. That would be the best investment for yourself in my opinion.

Thanks Silverhawk.

I'll tell you what I would do - find local businesses for sale at good valuations. Just today on bizbuysell.com I found 2 businesses near me for sale - each generating $50k profit/year with absentee owners, with $50k in fixtures/inventory - with an asking price of $150k. Without even considering owner financing and/or price negotiations, I could put $30k as down-payment and get a loan for the rest. Then I would improve the marketing, cost costs, etc to make the business more profitable.

Tell you something, this isn't bad advice. I would stay away from the stock markets though! Forget it - forget trying to make fast money!

I’m in a similar situation...I have around 100k I’m looking to utilize in the next few months. I’ll probably use 25k if I’m going to start a new business but I won’t be dumping it all in. If I had 50k, I’d probably use around 15k to start something. I am in the process of either buying a business or starting from scratch. I been searching sites like empire flipper and other brokerages. BizBuySell is a good one also but I would only use them to acquire a local business like a landscaping company or something. If your buying an internet business, centurica offers a due diligence package to inform you on anything they find negative on a site you’re looking to buy. Truthfully, this is the route I’d go. Buy, Build, Sell!

A business earning 500 per month sells for around 22x profits or 11k. Buy it, Grow it to 1500 per month. Sell it for 33k.

Are you good at anything? What are your interests?

 

[JoelM]

I have a couple of ideas but I cannot tell specifically what you should invest in. I would not invest in passive income (real estate, mutual funds, etc.) Invest in something where you can scale and reinvest your profits back into the business.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

I never understand the "I have $X and I need to invest it... like NOW!"

There's nothing wrong with cash laying around earning 5% and being an option on opportunity.

I think that was my first thread's subject haha ! I learned that the more cash i have for the next business, the better it is !

They probably can't get 5% either.

This implies that you are investing money and getting 5% interest, but is the money also highly liquid? The truth is that there are no options at the moment to invest money and get those options without any risk - at least not in my country.

 

[GoGetter24]

Well OP was last seen in 2014. Wonder what he invested in

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Sooo.... What does one invest in to get a nice little 5% cash flow?

I'm looking for ideas for (reasonably) safe monthly income after making my initial bank. I've got about $500k I'd like to stick in something which will last for an eternity and save the rest to keep building my business. Cash flow is the key phrase here.

I've been eyeballing those. I could get a few in my neck of the woods for that. Thanks!

where would you get 5% and keep your cash liquid?

[Elif]

My choice would be to invest it in a content publishing model (building websites, posting content, and monetizing with ads/affiliates) because this is something that i have experimented with in the past, and i had success, and i know i can at least find some good opportunities and have enough good domain knowledge to know that it can turn into something passive.

 

[Elif]

I have 50k to invest right now. Most people say " Man, if I just had X amount of money I could easily turn that to X amount ". What would you invest in if you had 50k RIGHT NOW purely to invest. I am looking forward to the discussions and ideas. Thanks
