hi ,

its just the other way around , the euro's for example from vatican city are really sought after and they represent a solid investment , ....

not to mention about all the special gold and silver coins that are being put out each year for collectors and investors , .....

Mao , the silver and gold coins that Mexico brings out several times a year are not only beautiful , they go up with a rate of about 6-8 % a year

some are cheap to buy , in a couple years they make 10 percent

have a nice day

$500? That's about 1.5oz right now... That isn't a whole lot of money, but the fact that you are interested in investing it says a lot more than the if you would just want to blow it... Gold is a rather stable investment, and you really shouldn't go wrong with it, yet I am not sure if they (being the ppl who will buy it for you) would require you to put more up than that or not. I have never invested in such vehicles... Yet, everyone likes different investments... Do what you want, it will be a good learning experience. Than, research all about the different investment vehicles, it is very interesting.

High quality munis is the way I'd go. You can get some decent yields with very little risk and many of them have out proformed the stock market over the last 2 years. Of course the best thing, if you're going to hold it atleast for a year, is to buy a few shares of a blue chip stock (my current pick is MS). If your going might need the money in less then a year then shop around for a CD.

MSFT doesn't have a really high yeild (0.34%)... Go with something like GM (5.67%)... I just CAG (3.97%) for my high yield stock...

GM is going to sink an ever growing amount of money into new car incentives. Chrysler and Ford are already losing money and GM will soon follow if the incentive war doesn't ease. If you can afford the $1000 share price then Berkshire is always a sold performer.

investing 500 usd on his own aint worth it , taxes , brokers fees , etc , .....

If he has US$500 then short term (>1 year) a CD, mid term 1-2 years) a bond, long term <2 years) a blue chip stock purchased online so as to avoid broker's fees.

MS lost huge market cap in the last 3 years. If you want a tech stock, I'd rather go with Intel. Of course, Disney and such are also good bets.

gold and other precious metals will ALWAYS have value... at least they have held value throughout recorded human history...

You cannot say the same about stocks, bonds, or cash. Those can go with teh government, which, you know, can go any time now... ... Ive been hearin stuff from the likes of Ramo....

I don't see why anyone should be excluded from knowing about investments.

Personally if I was after a diamond I'd buy it tax free in Holland... but getting to Holland is no sweat from the UK.

Oh yeah, wearing coins. There's a whole lot of English soveriegns out there mounted on rings.

I wouldn't recommend them though, cause a lot of them are counterfeit (and I THINK the gold content of the genuine ones isn't that great).

Not really, because gold doesn't have any intrinsic value at all, unlike, say, iron.

I always hear that fund managers underperform a random pick or the index itself. so what you should do is just bet opposite of the fund managers.

its an excellent conductor (actually, ive been taught contraictory stuff on this), thats why its used on satallites and other space craft and other things that need every edge they can get. but its too expensive to use commercially on a large scale.

either way, your point is irrelevent to mine. I ws merely sayin its has had a pretty stable value for a very long time... a safe bet to invest in compared to stocks, bond, or curency. do you disagree? or are you just being disagreeable to make an arguement for the fun of it, like you so often do?
