Another million dollar question in investing is “Where to Invest?“.
In simple words this question can be answered – The place where you can maximize your wealth is the place where you should invest.
Now this answer differs from people to people depending on the risk bearing ability. If a person has a high risk bearing ability he may go for a high risk investment say Equities and a person with low risk bearing ability may go for lower risky investment i.e. FD.
Various kind of Investment options available :
Investments are of various types and are in various forms. Not all investments are profitable , a few of them may be and few may not be.
Few investments are based on fixed returns and few are based on market conditions and of whose future cannot be predicted. There should be a balance between suck kinds of investments. Not all of your money should go into one source of investments.
Various kinds of investments -
- Investing in Equity Markets (Stock Markets)
- Investing in Real Estates (Property Markets)
- Investing in GOLD
- Investing in Commodity Markets
- Investing in FOREX
- Investing in Mutual Funds
- Investing in Government Bonds
- Investing in Fixed Deposits
- Investing in FMP’s (Fixed Maturity Plan’s)
- Life Insurance
- A new version in investing in VRE (Virtual Real Estate)
- Another one is Investing in Art.
There should be a complete balance between the investments you choose.
Best investment would be defined as a investment which gives maximum returns over a period of time over other investments.

You have Got a Nice Theme! Just like digg!
My vote goes for Mutual Funds..
Rajesh Mutual funds are a good options but for those who like to save money and conservative people.
But for people familiar with Equities would rather not prefer MF’s!
There are merits and demerits for both
Changes from Person to person.
Mutual Fund through SIP is the best way of investing in my opinion as it is safe and beneficial too.
@ Khalid. You may be right but it all depends on which SIP you choose and What amount of returns you get!
Equities can give much higher returns than SIP check this post out : http://www.squamble.com/2009/04/18/all-on-long-term-investing-and-how-to-identify-multibaggers/
