I've $2k to invest, but where?

badmint0n SG

I definitely want my money to grow better than putting in bank, but i'm afraid of losses that I can incur if I invest in shares.

Where can I 'safely' invest?

TehJarVu SG

no risk, no gain, but at least your money is still there

FireIce SG

2k only?

not many would entertain u....

Truthtruthtruth SG

Second that

Happilyeverafter SG

$2k definately not a big amt that can start an investment.

Can try to open a silver account to invest - DBS bank.

or can try to invest in Wine...stable but need holding power....the least 2 yrs.

Jussjacob SG

badminton I know where. Pm me when u c this :) I have a business vehicle at hand.

Rick65 SG

Just keep in the bank, you look like you cannot stomach losses

Save a bit more and invest in blue chip shares, just keep this 2K under your pillow

granslime SG

If you really want a lil more returns, try bonds lo. But 2k really not much difference even if you put in bonds. And bonds hor, I dun mean any ah tiong company hor, where each bond like cheaper than photocopying a paper. Use ATM machine can buy bonds if i not wrong. But you above 18 yr old mah?

ditzy SG

2K? What kind of return are you looking at? $5 annually?

Director Hitman SG

invest in yourself.$1k can already do plenty business n purchase.....$2k is too much if u intend to invest in yerszelf n get thousand fold rewards.

Loor SG

In general: Safe = low returns, Unsafe = higher returns

Also depends how much you are comitted.

If you want can try and setup very small business, like selling things you make or buy. Can do that in person or on ebay.

Buy shares, but genrally returns won't be large with $2K even if it does well.

Put all on red if you want to instantly double or make it dissappear.

...if u depend on others….returns will be low forever.if u want it to be done right…u have to do it yerself if u know how to do it.

if u have a bright idea and u know there will be indeed be a future market then the general judgement dun apply….just like the planets gravity n space.kinda hard to explain but somethings are just not the same unless u be the same by following conventional methods…..u need to think out of the box as they would say.if u have thought out of the box then ignore what i have said.but if u follpw the mainstream thoughts of all the people around u which is common….then the principle of low returns n high risk applies…

Director Hitman SG

i mean depend mainly on or=thers for 50% operations everything fropm manpower,spare parts ,design to nuts n bolts…...then u need more than $2k…..more like $2mil.

Director Hitman SG

be like bill gates from microsoft and upstart hewlett packard who didnt need much or have any to build up something.

thats the ideal way if u intend to be rich.

Director Hitman SG

but of course if u are figuring out on math n have a hard time with science n technology and buy them instead of building….then becoming a bill gates or a hewlett packard or even makin it rich will be difficult.

FoundingBill Hewlett and Dave Packard graduated in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1935. The company originated in a garage in nearby Palo Alto during a fellowship they had with a past professor, Frederick Terman at Stanford during the Great Depression. Terman was considered a mentor to them in forming Hewlett-Packard.[12] In 1939, Packard and Hewlett established Hewlett-Packard (HP) in Packard’s garage with an initial capital investment of US$538.[13] Hewlett and Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett¹⁴ Packard won the coin toss but named their electronics manufacturing enterprise the “Hewlett-Packard Company”. HP incorporated on August 18, 1947, and went public on November 6, 1957.

Of the many projects they worked on, their very first financially successful product was a precision audio oscillator, the Model HP200A. Their innovation was the use of a small incandescent light bulb (known as a “pilot light&#8221 Wink as a temperature dependent resistor in a critical portion of the circuit, the negative feedback loop which stabilized the amplitude of the output sinusoidal waveform. This allowed them to sell the Model 200A for $54.40 when competitors were selling less stable oscillators for over $200. The Model 200 series of generators continued until at least 1972 as the 200AB, still tube-based but improved in design through the years.

One of the company’s earliest customers was The Walt Disney Company, which bought eight Model 200B oscillators (at $71.50 each) for use in certifying the Fantasound surround sound systems installed in theaters for the movie Fantasia.

Japanese Scientists Create Touchable Holograms

Researchers at Tokyo University revealed that they’ve been able to create touchable holograms, a key step in weaning us all off of interacting with computers using a keyboard or mouse. The technology is based on software that uses ultrasonic waves to create pressure on the hand of a user “touching” the projected hologram. The researchers used two Wii remotes from Nintendo’s Wii gaming system to track a user’s hand. Says Tokyo U professor Hiroyuki Shinoda: “Up until now, holography has been for the eyes only, and if you’d try to touch it, your hand would go right through. But now we have a technology that also adds the sensation of touch to holograms.”
