Advice on Investing $400,000 Dollars

1) Where would be the best place to get an all-around idea of what the investment market is like?

2) What is the best way to make the make the highest returns on $400k with a balance in risk? Obviously I don't want to be making 110% returns since the risk is most likely astronomical.

3) Looking at a 1-5 year period of investment. Hoping to at least double my money.

4) Mutual Funds are the common thing I hear about, what else do you guys think? Only reason why I'm posting on OT is because I know some of you here know what you're doing.

5) Any financial forums worth looking at?

If you have a half-million dollars to invest, don't be a fool. Get a professional financial advisor.

Double your money the fastest? Go to Vegas and choose red or black.

But seriously, you'll need to talk with a financial advisor and hear what they have to say. Talk with a few and decide which one you like/think is best to trust your money with.

Mutual funds don't double your money in 1-5 years. Only high risk stock have the possibility of doing that and the possibility is low.

You're two years late to the "double your money" party.

Don't pick the first person you talk to.

Hrmm, I'm not too sure. I mean, I've been looking at some of the top-ranked mutual funds in both Canada/US (really hesitant about investing in China) and some of the high-risk ones have anywhere from 50% - 110% return in 3 months. Not saying that's where I'd feel safe putting my money, but there's also the more conservative mutual funds that net in around 10% - 25% annually.

Those are hedge fund like returns... and don't forget, many of those same funds posting awesome 1-3yr returns were also down 50% or more in the prior 2.

You can find some really great high yield bond funds that make 8% on coupon income alone.

Oh wait... is this $400k Canadian?

So technically only $70-80USD, right?




Fuck I don't know man... I guess I'd buy a little weed and a double baconator. *shrug*
































Find a financial advisor.

Why not look into commodities?

You'll need to trade it religiously though

Or bank stocks.

They are very volatile.

you can lose it all, but then again you can also make 10x the amount

if you can avg 25% increase per year you're golden.

10% is great

OP doesn't really have 400k, he's an e-baller playing a stock market game. Plus, someone who has 400k and earns it isn't going to be asking the OT section of a BMW forum for advice.
