Default Sure fire, and safe, investments - 06-21-2008

I shifted 30% of my investment portfolio to precious metals as a hedge against my more volatile investments. Precious metals are a sure fire way to ensure growth, with lower risk.

What have you done to protect yourself against uncertain times?

Do you have a mutual fund? Do you use online investment companies, taking charge of your own investment accounts??

Online investment is not relaible. Where to complain, how to believe. So I think to spend on share market is good.

I used to have investment funds but I never bought them online. I always used a broker. Yes, they cost money but when something happens they are there to help you. A real live voice that you've spoken to before.

I did pretty well with investment funds too.

My portfolio is a 401K, so the initial investments weren't made on line, what I did was redistribute the funds already in the 401k, using online access to my existing account.

I am think to invest on an online company but I am not sure whether it will help me to make some money or I am going to ruin my money. I just wanna try my luck.

Well, I bought 100 Grams of gold last week. I bought rings and all such jewelry. I can sell the the next year and I am expecting about 10% profits. I think, this is better than a Share market or online inverstment!
