To me low risk means that the stock price is soooooo low that even the people who own it think it's a waste of time to sell!  when that happens the buyers have to jack up their bid price. Perhaps some people who own stocks that are down 50%+ for the year so far will start selling to write off losses going into year end, so if that causes the stock that was down 50% to hit the -90% level, THAT'S A SAFE INVESTMENT! if ya buy that is.  |

My only significant cash position is a 5 yr IRA CD that expires next year (4.55% compounded to 4.78%). Not as good as the 10% it started out at many years ago, but better than past 5 yr S&P 500. My 401k is all in various stock funds (international funds have done best lately).
I just started investing other IRA/Roth cash, and the conservative end of that is a Canadian gas/oil trust that not only has proven resources (including Wyoming and California), but is also involved in distribution. It has paid a consistant monthly dividend since 11/03, which for me is 8.9% (after Canada's 15% dividend tax withholding) and has increased in value over 5% in less than 2 months, even after the recent shakeout. Not as much growth as some of my other stocks had before the recent dip, but less volitile than those, and better return than current bonds.
While bonds themselves can be a conservative investment, I never had luck with bond funds, because everyone would jump out leaving me with negative returns. |

Gold is probably not too risky.
Domains name prospecting is probably risky. What seems vaulable to you might be worthless to others.
I have one that I like though, it is 1985bears.com and I bought it for $5 and sure won't mind selling it to anyone for say $10,000 or more.
It is the 20th anniversary of the team, coming up on the silver anniversary. Few teams are know like they are. The 1985 bears are a team most everyone has heard of and considered by some to be the best ever.
This is the only domain I own as an investment other then say for business purposes. I think it is a good investment because I think if I advertise it that someone or some company might want to buy it.
What does the einvestors say? |
