    Investment opportunities

    I've got just over $1K lying around and I'd like to invest it (legally!). I was thinking of investing in the stock market (not the one with farm animals, the other one), but what will give me the best return without a very high risk of losing it all? How do I go about buying shares? I've got a bit of time on my hands so I don't mind looking into various opportunities, but I just don't know where to start!

    Go see a stockbroker I suppose..?

    He'll probably ask you where the other $99,000 dollars is though...

    If it were that easy to make money with little risk, everyone'd be doing it.

    Stick it in a (big) bank if you are worried about losing it.
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    Meh

    Only a grand, better off putting it in bonus bonds and waiting for a win.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Put it in the bank and earn interest - it'll pay a couple of speeding tickets ... and you get to keep the interest)

    (Or maybe have a chat to your nasty mates currently sheltering in Brazil .. I'm sure there's a nice little fascist revolution they'd like you to support ...)

    Bet on Stoner to win the next GP. You'll at least double your money. IF he wins!

    I have been looking into it. Gold is around $1800 an ounce these days.



    I do have one of those "high interest" online saver accounts with Westpac. Maybe I should stick to that.

    Seriously though a grand is fuck all, by the time you've paid brokers fees etc you'll just about have change for a couple of beers.

    Stick to the bank.
