Investing Money - Where to Invest If Clueless and Cautious

Jack and Mike were at a party in 2011 and the chatter was about investing money and where to invest it. Jack whined about interest rates, and Mike agreed that investing money in the bank was a lost cause. Assuming they both preferred relatively safe investments, a stranger overhearing this suggested they invest in safe mutual funds.

Investing money in mutual funds was on Mike's list of where not to invest because he had lost a bundle in stock funds during the financial crisis. Jack wasn't too fond of funds either, since his safe mutual funds (money market funds) were paying MUCH less than 1% in interest. Both felt clueless and uncomfortable as the stranger rattled on about a type of fund. According to mister know-it-all, you could invest in a relatively low risk fund, earn higher returns than at the bank... and just relax.

As they walked away from their new acquaintance Mike suggested that Jack ask his brother Jim (who knew about this stuff) what the devil the guy was talking about. Jim, as usual, had an answer. Can you invest in one single relatively safe fund in 2011 and have exposure to stocks, bonds and safe investments all in one package with relatively low risk at relatively low cost? Can investing money in 2011 and into the future be that simple? Yes it can, in a NO-LOAD balanced fund called a Retirement Income Fund.

Here's how investing money in these balanced funds works. Let's say you invest $10,000 in a retirement income fund with a major no-load fund company like Vanguard or Fidelity, the two largest fund companies in America. It should cost you nothing for sales charges when you invest and about $100 a year (or less) for management and other fund expenses. This money will automatically be deducted from the value of the fund shares you own. No-load means no sales charges when you invest or cash in shares.

Top Tips For Investing Money in a Recession

Recession is a general slowdown in the economic activity and causes a significant drop in the spending patterns. Many people stop investing in the times of recession because they think it won't be profitable and many resist investing because they are not aware about the techniques and ways of investing in periods of recession. Rather than resisting to invest money in the times of recession one should find ways or use the tips to invest wisely and carefully for securing their future. Recession does bring unfortunate news of rising unemployment and inflation but some market areas remain unaffected and can even rise.

The key to start investing in times of recession is to start off with the right thinking and mentality and know that unfortunate events are more likely to happen but they are not guaranteed and not everyone will be affected by them. Interest rates tend to fall in poor conditions making it less expensive to borrow money allowing you to invest in the stock market during recessions and once the market has recovered you will benefit from the rise in the prices that your investment will bring in form of profits when you decide to sell. You have to analyze the opportunities and see what affect recession will have in every market and then decide to invest.
