I'm not, but I would. Are they hiring? Sounds like a great job.

When stock market boom, some investors shift they investment to commodities or property or others, then so on.... Meaning, when one market boom, investors predict the next market would be booming soon. So, what are the markets? Can someone list by order? Let's start with stock market, because I've read about Robert Kiyosaki, he withdrew from stock market and bought commmodities. After that, I never heard what was his next shift after commodities investment.

Best Answer

The main reason you didn't hear "where he put his money next" is because he is largely a snake-oil salesman... From Wikipedia: "Detailed analysis of public records (including SEC and county registrar of deeds) find no evidence to support Kiyosaki's status as a successful investor and businessman prior to the formation of his present venture, Cashflow Technologies, Inc. They claim that his wealth has come as a result of selling books and audio presentations about topics he has not personally succeeded in and that he is probably worth far less than the US$50 to US$100 million he once claimed in an interview."

I am aware of things like Ameritrade and Sharebuilders for the small investor for stocks on the exchange. I am interested in commodities, preferably oil.

Best Answer

Yes oil is a commoditie, listed under utilities and utilities is the way to go in the market . You see investing in the market is not so complex just don't put all your eggs in the same basket ! Meaning You have to have a well diversified portfolio, meaning don't put you money in one market or one specific commoditie . You should have your money split up in many commodities as well. Like realestate,bullion,and other funds other than the stocks and bonds . And if You use an adviser You should no that a great adviser will earn you 10 to 13% on your portfolio no mater what the Market does . That is why it is Important to DIVERSIFY ! And If You choose to go alone remember this as most investers do is to read three top investmant pappers and magazines and make your picks based on advise of the top three advisers .

I've been an active investor in the commodities markets for about a year now . . . specifically in silver. Just want to know other peoples opinions of precious metals.

Best Answer

More than likely, you're going to get some moron tell you that precious metals are a "bad" investment. They base they're argument on the fact that from 1980 to 2002, precious metals were in a brutal secular bear market. But what they fail to see is that from 1971 to 1980, silver sent from about $1.40/oz. to $50.00/oz - a 3,471% increase. All assets have their bull and bear cycles. The precious metals have just ended a 22 year bear market and are only 4 years into a secular bull market. These same people will say that "stock" is the place to be. Well, let's see: From 2000 to today, the Dow is up about 1940 points (from it's top of 11,722), or 16.5%. From the low in 2002 of 7200 to today, it's up 6,465 points or 89.8%. Not to shabby. But let's take a look at silver. From 2000 to today, silver is up from $4.95 to around $13.11 today - up $8.16 or about 164.8%. From it's 2002 bottom at around $4.25 to today at $13.11, it's up $8.86, or about 208.5%. So, here is the deal: Dow - up 16.5% in the last 7 years, up 89.8% from 2002 low. Silver - up 164.8% in last 7 years, up 208.5% from 2002 low. So, where do these people get that equities are the place to be? Yes, from 1982 to 2000, equities were the place to be and not precious metals, but now the tide is turning and the precious metals complex is whipping the pants off stocks. I can speak for the entire commodities complex, but we have crude oil up, gasoline up, natural gas up, corn up. You'd need to examine each commodity individually to see, but I suspect that the commodities markets are fairing much better than equities.
