Do you have some extra cash lying around doing nothing? Do you want to make more money than you are making at your job? Even if you don't have cash at the moment, you can save some up and start investing. Start investing and you can start making more money. Types of investments are not scarce. There are so many choices. You can buy stocks, bonds, or a mix of them in mutual funds. Then there are the more complex and less common investments such as commodities, derivatives, and real estate. Investing in any of these has the potential to make you money, with some making more than others. What makes the stock market a better investment venue? If you had to choose between stocks and bonds, you should choose stocks. Of course there are many variables here, but usually stocks will earn you more money. The average return of stocks throughout history is about 13%. That is very good. If you invest in bonds and CDs or certificates of deposit, you'll be lucky if you can get 6%. Bonds are usually more stable, unless you get into junk bonds. If you want to earn more money, you should invest in the stock market. Stocks generally carry more risk than bonds. Of course, we are talking about high rated or government bonds. Low rated bonds, also known as junk bonds, can earn a high return, but they are very risky, usually riskier than a good stock. Even with the extra risk in the stock market, you can keep your money safe with diversification. That brings us to another great benefit. Stocks are much easier to invest in than commodities, derivatives, or real estate. Some people will say that's not the case, but generally it's easier to get your hands on stock than an apartment building and it's easier to understand how you will make money when you buy a stock then when you get into futures and options. You probably don't even know what futures and options are. If you're not convinced it's easier than derivatives, that's fine because derivatives have to do with the stock market, too. If you want to invest and make a lot of money, the stock market is the way to go. You can make more money than bonds, it's easier to understand than derivatives, and you can start investing right now if you want to!
