its unfortunate that you cant just expect 3 times your long term expectation of the underlying index. so if I expect a 10% annualized return over a 10 year period, the triple nasdaq gives me a 30% annual yield.
Because they are leveraged, you do not want to hold them blindly long term. If the market goes down 50% then these ETFs will be almost worthless. I love trading TQQQ, UPRO, and UDOW, but you should trade them, not make them long term investments.
I am from Kazakhstan.If you are looking for what to invest, I wonder weather you like to own a busyness in Kazakhstan. I want to open a gym or cinder block production. Also, here many things are possible in terms of starting a busyness. So we can discuss further if you are interested. To contact me please write to gpnisphm@gmail.com
Real estate aka "rental" isn't so bad.. if done smartly.. you will ALWAYS own it in the worst of times if you don't do mortgages..
Also look into bit coin, miners.. they manufacture money of a sorts
I don't know much about stocks and bonds.. but I do know there is severe problem going on of our debt to china (US) and the eu union has tons of debt too.. (and as you may have noticed? Japans debt problem is becoming public awareness) so it's not good and err I think it's a risky market.. but take your chances and see
Not with that sum. 11000-13000 GBP will buy you nothing in some areas.
Seen some people say lately that DCA isn't worth it. Couple articles came out disproving it - I think one from Vanguard. Interested to hear what's most credible.
I think they don't want you to time the market, they want to put the whole chunk in. If you are not comfortable then dollar cost averaging, it's the SWAN(sleep well at night) thing. I do them because I'm too chicken to move the whole chunk in.
So I'm 25, I've got a bit of money saved up and I want to multiply it as much as I can. I'm currently in the home stretch of my PhD and by the time I graduate later this year I should have £11,000 - £13,000 in the bank. I want to put it to work and I don't mind if a little bit of risk is involved if there's a decent chance of a big payoff.
However, I know precisely jack **** about what to invest this money or how to go about it. I don't know the first thing about investing and I am not about to blindly hand my savings over and have faith in something I don't understand.
So if anyone has any advice for me I'd like to hear it, anything at all.
there are no big payoffs.
best to start small maybe a mutual fund as Vanguard or Fidelity. Many years I did buy Disney why liked the mouse. I did start with 25 shares and paid around 2500 . I still have Disney why because I just did believe enough to hold on. The other side of the coin I got talked into stuff in the dot com years they all are long gone.
