Where, as an Individual Trader, can you potentially realize the HIGHEST return?

Hi - I'm a trader...Highest Return?\n\nStocks won't because they require you to put forward the full amount of capital. Hedge Funds - you have little control over what they invest in - and i doubt they can match any professional trader's returns! \n\nYou're left with futures/forex and options. I don't have experience with futures so I can't comment but forex dealers give you a leverage of 100:1. You only need to put in 1% of capital in your trading. What does that mean?? well percentage wise your returns will be phenonemal. You can achieve the same leveraged affect with options as well as this instrument called CFDs.

Generally money markets give you the best return on your money.  Paypal offers pretty good returns.  When I did a search on bankrate.com for my area Capital One, FSB was the best institution I had heard of at 4.55%.

You should know the fact that sometimes keeping '100%' cash is the best investment. So be-careful.\n\nTo learn about gold and commodities have a look at \nhttp://uscommoditiestrader.com

1. Through a full service broker. This is the most expensive option, but you'll hopefully get some advice.\n2. Through an online broker (e.g. ETrade). Very inexpensive, no advice. You're on your own.\n3. Directly from the issuing company if they offer a direct investment/dividend reinvestment program.\n\nThere are many options available, and you can find brokers everywhere. You may want to check out the August 2005 Smart Money magazine article that did a review on the full service, discount, and online brokers.

I think the best way to invest is to first see what the best traders are buying and selling.  Then use that knowledge to hopefully improve your portfolio's return.  This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money.

It depends what you mean by the best. If you like ETFs try India Fund Inc. (IFN)

I don't understand the question. But if you want to learn how to trade try this site. You can trade virtually - starting with $1,000,000 on Wall Street and see if you're a winner or loser. Most people are better than the professional traders.

It depends on how long you can leave your money invested. The higher the returns you seek, the more risk of short term losses you are going to need to accept. If you do not have a long time to stay invested you need to pick more conservative investments. Over the long term, the highest returns are earned by stocks, with small company stocks edging out larger company stocks. Bonds will typically give you lower rates of return than stocks, but less unpredictability. CD's and money markets are at the low end return-wise, but have virtually no chance to losing value.\n\nSeek the advice of a financial planner. Have him/her help you complete a Risk Tolerance Analysis. The results of this analysis will guide you to the proper mix of assets for your particular savings goal.

The biggest hedge funds and investment banks hire Ph.D.s from places like MIT to develop trading strategies.  Any worthwhile positions where arbitrage might exist are immediately exploited.\n\nThink about it like this.  If the masses could earn riskless profits in excess of transaction fees with just a few econ courses in their back pockets, how long do you think the opportunities would exist in an efficient or semi-efficient market?\n\nIf you want to pursue a trading strategy that doesn't simply track a index, read up on some of the persistent return anomalies (i.e. momentum, book to market) in the finance academic literature.  These are still contentious among academicians, so don't expect to find a how-to guide.

You need to be realistic about achievable returns.  The stock market (S&P 500) has an average annual return of approximately 10%.  If you invested $2,000 a month and got a 10% return compounded annually, you would be a millionaire in 17 years.\n\nKeep in mind, someone once asked J.D. Rockefeller, "how does one become rich?"  He replied, "slowly".

I use Scottrade.com, but you might want to also consider Sharebuilder.com.  \n\nIf you are looking for investment ideas, the first thing you should do is see what the best traders are buying and selling.

Call Scottrade and ask them. Or call a dozen other brokers.\n\nOne rule of investing: Never use borrowed money, or money you cannot afford to lose.\n\nYou're making several presumptions with this question. First, that Scottrade is the broker of your dreams, or the best of the best. How do you qualify that? But w/o more info, neither can I give you advice there. For someone with limited knowledge, that is an open question, and probably still won't be decided until after you've investigated it fully, and actually tried one or three.\n\nSecond, you seem to presume that you will actually make money. Instead of focusing on how much money you "could" make, you should be focusing on how much money you "could" lose. Most novice investors get this backwards. Rather than focusing on ways to make money, focus on ways to manage risk and ways of increasing your odds.\n\nOnly if you can stay in the game do you have a chance of making money.
