I currently have spare cash of about $5k on hand and it sits
there lying in the bank collecting dust and Im no avid fan of
buying shares either. So what are the ways to invest this sum of
money to finance for my studies? Im not into high risk investments
as Im not very good with tat kind of stuffs and with the recent
banks and insurance companies dying makes me even more afraid to
dabble in such. Thanks.!
Considering this strictly from an investment standpoint, you may
wish to consider two things :
1. Invest in currency futures/options (if you know what they're)
that exhibit a strong correlation with commodities.
2. You may wish to consider ETFs if you're taking a
medium/long-term view of things. Despite the present equity market
conditions, historical trends would back up the idea that bull runs
that follow a bear run/correction are often rather long-lasting
(relatively).
