Different types of investments

by wotv on Jul.22, 2009, under Investment

In general, there are three different types of investments. These include stocks, bonds and cash. Sounds simple, right? Well, unfortunately, it gets very complicated from there. You see, each type of investment has numerous types of investments that fall under it. There is enough to learn about each different investment type. The stock market can be a big fear for those who know little or nothing about investing. Fortunately, the amount of information you need to learn has a direct relationship with the type of investor you are. There are three types of investors: conservative, moderate and aggressive. Different types of investments also cater to the two levels of risk tolerance: high risk and low risk.

Conservative investors often invest in cash. This means putting your money in savings accounts with interest, money market accounts, mutual funds, U.S. Treasury accounts, and certificates of deposit. These are very safe investments that grow over a long period of time. These are also low-risk investments. Moderate investors often invest in cash and bonds, and splash in the stock market. Moderate investing may be low or moderate risk. Moderate investors often also invest in real estate, provided it is low risk real estate. (continue reading…)

Different Types of Bonds

by wotv on Jul.04, 2009, under Investment

Investing in bonds is very safe, and yields are generally very good. There are four basic types of bonds available and are sold through the Government, through corporations, state and local governments, and foreign governments. The greatest thing about bonds is that you will receive back their initial investment. This makes the bond investment for those who are new to investing, or for those that have a low tolerance for risk. The United States Government sells Treasury Bonds through the Treasury Department. You can purchase Treasury Bonds with maturities ranging from three months to thirty years. Treasury bonds include Treasury Notes (T-Notes), Treasury Bills (T-Bills), and Treasury Bonds. All Treasury bonds are backed by the Government of the United States and the tax shall be levied only on the interest that the bonds earn.

Corporate bonds are sold through public securities markets. A corporate bond is essentially a company selling its debt. Corporate bonds usually have high interest rates, but are a little risky. If the company goes belly up, the link is useless. State and local governments also sell bonds. Unlike bonds issued by the federal government, these bonds usually have higher interest rates. This is because state and local governments can effectively bankrupt – unlike the federal government. State and Local Government bonds free of income taxes – including interest. State and local taxes may also be waived. Tax-free municipal bonds are common State and Local Government Bonds. (continue reading…)
