80-90K What & Where to invest?
Need some advice. If you have roughly 80-90K available for investing, what would you do right now? Real estate, stocks, etc?
I have never ever done any kind of investing so I would like to hear what people would do. I am trying to increase my knowledge base on what type of options exist. Thanks
8% per year. they take your money and give mortgages to more at risk customers but never over extend their 'risk' by more 65-85%. meaning if the customer doesn't have much declared income, they need to put a large downpayment and use the real estate as collateral. ie the company will own the place if the person defaults.
the major risk is if the economy tanks and vancouver repeats american real estate crash.

pm'ed you. you can put up to $20,000 of it in TFSA. you can put RRSP's as well but subject to early tax penalties if you cash it in early like any RRSP. if you let it sit, it will continue to grow.
too bad you didnt have that money in 2002. invest it all in apple at that time, youd be sitting on 8mil+ right now lol
What an incredibly stupid post. If he had that money back in the great depression he could have bought most of america. Lets just make up dreams some more, THAT SHOULD HELP HIM.

I have been looking at Vanguard Index Funds too. I am 29 years old living in Canada. I worked for the Canadian federal government with a solid pension plan so my risk tolerance is quite high. I am planning to divide my portfolio as follows:
40% Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF
40% Vanguard MSCI U.S. Broad Market Index ETF (CAD-hedged)
20% Vanguard Canadian Aggregate Bond Index ETF
Do you think that the portfolio above is diversify enough or should I take it one step further and do this:
20% Vanguard MSCI Canada Index ETF
20% Vanguard MSCI EAFE Index ETF (CAD-hedged)
20% Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF
20% Vanguard MSCI U.S. Broad Market Index ETF (CAD-hedged)
20% Vanguard Canadian Aggregate Bond Index ETF
Your input is much appreciated.

Real life: to invest sucessfuly one needs to study, spend many hours learning how not to lose money (yes, I didn't say how to get rich!, I said how NOT to lose money). Then talk to a broker and instruct the broker to stick to the plan devised from such hard work. That plan may be to buy 50% index fund and 50% bonds, or it may be something different entirely.
Myth: to invest successfully one needs to post a question on-line, get the "inside scoop" on how to get rich, do as told, sit back and relax.
Take it or leave it, but my advice is to spend the $20 on the book, take 2-3 weeks to read it, then decide what to do next. Consider reading this book an investment.

If you want to have stupid fantasies like that why wouldnt you say throw 80,000 at Facebook before it turned into anything. LOL @ 8 million. Would most likely have more like 800 million right now.
Poverty dreams you have,...
