You can find that post here. Just 5 weeks later, you can check what I had proposed to you and knowing what happened, you can extract your own opinion.|<br \/>\n\tBut many of you had asked me to present to you options for higher sums of money. This is why today we will talk about a sum of 100.000 Euro.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Deposits: The corner stone of every investment<\/strong><br \/>\n\tNo matter what you want to do with the rest of your money, a minimum of 20 &#8211; 30% should be kept at a bank deposit. For 100.000 Euro this means\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<!--more-->\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\tabout 20.000 &#8211; 30.000.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Why?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\" type=\"disc\">\n<li class=\"list\">\n\t\tIt is safe.\n\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"list\">\n\t\tWhatever happens to the rest of your investments, you never lose all.\n\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"list\">\n\t\tSums up to 50.000 Euro are guaranteed by the State, no matter which is your bank.\n\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"list\">\n\t\tYour income is exempted from the income tax for 2010 (at least until today).\n\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"list\">\n\t\tSome cash should always be available, in order to grab a fast opportunity.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Tips<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"list\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\tIf you are a more defensive investor, this sum can increase. But also this means that the overall outcome of your investment will be lower.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"list\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\tTry to negotiate in order to block your money for 3 months, receiving an interest rate close to the best possible. If you deposit your amount for 1 year, you may lose opportunities throughout the year, as the economy is still very volatile.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"list\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\tRon pays better interest, but the trend for the following period is to depreciate against Euro and Dollar. (personal estimation).\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"list\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\tDon&#039;t change bank just because someone else pays you 0,1% more. Build a relation with your banker, you never know where you might need it.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Forex market: Do you like playing with fire?<\/strong><br \/>\n\tLately I hear many people gambling in the Forex market, exchanging currencies etc. If you are not an expert, I suggest to you to avoid this strategy, because you can end up having an empty bank account without realizing how&#8230;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Stock Market: Yes, if you are ready to lose as well<\/strong><br \/>\n\tWith Romanian stocks having crushed by 40% over the last month, things started to enter in the right order. It was not normal for an economy to be in a continuous decline and its Stock Market to party for 13 consecutive months. But this drop creates a more interesting environment for investors.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Why:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\" type=\"disc\">\n<li class=\"list\">\n\t\tYou can increase the overall performance of your portfolio.\n\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"list\">\n\t\tOn the long run, you will not lose for sure.\n\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"list\">\n\t\tDividends are also an extra source of income.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Tips:<\/strong><br \/>\n\t<span class=\"list\">Investing in Stock Market means that you are ready to lose part of your capital. Also you are supposed to have a minimum knowledge of the field, avoiding unnecessary risks. If not, stay away. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<span class=\"list\">I would choose strong shares, SIFs and other &quot;blue chips&quot; of the Romanian Market. There may be other shares which will over perform comparing to these, but these shares are also dangerous to crush as well, leaving you speechless. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<span class=\"list\">Choose shares with high liquidity. Imagine yourself getting blocked in an investment where you simply can not liquidate it. How does it feel like? <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<span class=\"list\">Placing margins is always useful, especially for short term investors. An increase of 20%-30% and a depreciation of 10%-15% would be the ranges that would indicate an exit moment. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<span class=\"list\">Placing the whole amount in one share should be avoided as well. (I would personally wait a bit more, to see the stocks returning closer to their 2009 low levels year before investing in this segment). <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<span class=\"list\">If you invest 10 &#8211; 15% of your capital in shares, it will be considered a defensive strategy. More than 30% of your capital would be definitely an aggressive (and risky) strategy.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\" type=\"disc\">\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Real Estate: Among the best options<\/strong><br \/>\n\tFor the ones who want to beneficiate both from safety and as well from the possibility of a significant increase of the value of investments, real estate properties continue to be a solution. The property prices dropped, in average, with 40% up to 70% compared to the peak from the beginning of 2008. More or less, the prices have reached their &quot;rock bottom&quot;. Be careful, not the asked prices you see in the newspapers and sites, but the final ones after the negotiation (if the owner really wants to sell).\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Apartments:<\/strong><br \/>\n\t<span class=\"list\">Choose properties built after 1985, ideally new.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<span class=\"list\">Location and quality worth, are paid more but they pay back too. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<span class=\"list\">Target an annual yield of 7 &#8211; 8% out of rents. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<span class=\"list\">On the long run, you can expect a 5-6% yearly increase of your property&#039;s value. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\" type=\"disc\">\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Lands:<\/strong><br \/>\n\tIf you believe in fairytales, invest in lands without utilities. If not, I suggest to you to choose properties that either benefit of utilities or they are very close to them (few hundreds of meters).\n<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\" type=\"disc\">\n<li>\n\t\tTry to identify clear signs of development. If you will be the pioneer investor in an area, you might become rich in 30 &#8211; 50 years, but you also might remain blocked for 30 &#8211; 50 years.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tSeveral good properties are 70 &#8211; 80% cheaper than their peaks during 2008.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tIdeally buy inside the city (or town, village) or close to it.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tForget your land for the next 1,5 &#8211; 3 years, especially if it is out of the city. The market needs time to recover and 2010 will be lost for sure.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tA 7 &#8211; 10% annual return is quite realistic.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t(For more information about choosing a land, press here)\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Strategies: Deposit and&#8230;<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\tAfter you have deposited 20.000 &#8211; 30.000 Euro, you have an available amount of 70.000 &#8211; 80.000 Euro to invest.
