Hello /biz/
I've never been on here before, so forgive me if this question has been asked many times before.
I've recently come across a substantial amount of money for a working class individual. I want to invest it.
My question is: what is the surest investment? I was planning on buying gold, since I've always been told that gold is the best investment.
>time is not an issue.
>I just want to make "guarenteed" money even if it's just .1% every year.
government assured assets. the interest rate on the bond just went up 12%
>>1373074
This poster hit the nail on the head.
>BUT
You have to make sure you're going through the right country to capitalize on government securities. I'd currently go with Japan and if you're young and you want to make a secure long term investment, get some of their 30 year bonds for solid yields.

If you don't beat inflation, you're a fucking loser.
If you don't beat market indexes (SP500, NASDAQ, Dow Jones, etc), you're still losing.

Do you own your own home? Buy your own home first. Real estate is a pretty good bet, and at least you wont be paying somebody else's mortgage through rent.
If you have money left over, buy some bullion to bury in the yard for happenings sake.
After that, go >>1373074.

is not wrong.

who the fuck told you that? Gold is down quite far from its peak a few years ago and even so many are saying its overbought.
Don't do anything long US, avoid all the bad EU trash.
Don't buy anything government.
