For A Low Risk High Return Short Term Investment Which Is Better? Stock Market Or Currency Trades?

Buysing stocks with less than $500 isn’t even worth your time. Let’s say you go out and do 5 hours of research and pick out 2 stocks to buy. You go through 3 more hours to set up a brokerage account. Then 2 more hours watching the markets waiting for your buy point. Next, you spend $14 ($7 each) to buy the two stocks. Now you spend 10 more hours over the course of the next few days or weeks, watching the stocks, checking the quotes, etc. Let’s assume the stocks did quite well, and were both up 30%. Now you decide to sell, spending $14 in the process. You started with $500, paid $14 in fees, gained 30%, and paid $14 more in fees, ending up with $618, a gain of $118. You put at least 10 hours of work into it, likely more. But at 10 hours of work you gained $12 an hour. Oh, and that’s also taxable. So even under the best of circumstances, you might be able to earn $12 an hour, if you’re really good and really lucky. But this is all very unlikely, and takes a few weeks too. Best “investment” you can make it to get a part-time job, and save up more money to invest one day. Even at $8 an hour, you’d probably come out way ahead. Work 20 hours a week, at $8 an hour, and you’re making $640 a month. That’s probably the better investment of your time, so that one day you can make investments with your time and your money.

The basic thing which a beginner learn during trading classes is “high risk high return and low risk low return”. Treasury bills are called the risk free stocks and therefore it bears the lowest returns. Forex involves high risk and thus gets the highest return.
Therefore if you can bear risk you can get high return. Short term trading do fetches good returns but then you should have good market knowledge, clear technical concepts and a perfect trading platform which provides you with sufficient trading techniques and tools. Even taking expert opinion while trading is also a good option.
Forex is the best if you are aiming high returns. just update yourself with the above points and start trading. Small amount is no issue to some dealers like FINEXO which provides facility to open account witha minimum of 25$.

FX = Very, Very High Risk (wait till you’ve been using “Technical Analysis” for at least 5 years).
Stocks = Risky to very risky.
I can’t tell you how many people have tried for the “big one” and lost. If you choose stocks…. don’t go near the typical mistake of new investors….. penny stocks.
Take a year before you do this and read at least 6 books on investing and trading.
Three of my favorites are;
Investing For Dummies
Trading In The Zone, Mark Douglas
Mastering The Trade, John Carter

Neither is “low risk”, but currency trading is the riskiest.
