I am sure that you have explored many investing options, such as hedge funds and other managed investments, or you have probably settled for a bank CD. The problem with all these options is that the yields are simply too low, and in order for you to really make money out of your investment you have to be already rich.
For example, let us say you want to invest $500. If you get a 5% annual yield (which is very good), those $500 would grow up to maybe $2,100 in 20 years, which is not exactly a great figure for a retirement fund.
The conventional investing options are simply unable to deliver the kind of growth you need to really help you build a future starting with a small investment. Therefore, in order to break the mold and really open the door to alternatives that can actually put you on track to a consistent and significant increase of your equity, you must explore investing options that you can manage yourself. This way, every single penny you make by investing you hard earned money will go to your pocket instead of those who claim to be the experts.
Of course, this does not mean you should go right now and use all of your savings to start buying currencies, stocks and commodities like crazy, and then cross your fingers to see what happens. No, the idea is is for you to diversify and prepare yourself with the right tools and resources, because unless you are a pro, you will need those tools and resources in order to perform like one and really see your money grow.
Indeed, nowadays you will find basically two kind off investors:
1) The professional investors or financial experts -you decide how to call them- who invest based on their extensive knowledge of the different markets and their behavior.
2) The small investor or amateur investors, who invest and trade by using trading tools like software, signals and other services, or by educating themselves within a particular area of investment.
Unless you are a financial expert, you fall into the second category, which means that you can invest safely and achieve high returns on your investment, but only as long as you are prepared with a well balanced trading toolbox.
For example, if you use a reliable software to trade the forex markets, you could achieve monthly returns of 30% and even higher. If you do the math, this would allow you to turn $500 into $10,000 within a year, and with the compounding effect such a small investment could quickly turn into a small fortune after just a few years.
