I have some amount of earnings apart from the ones that I save for my necessities. I want the earnings invested in some real estate or may be in stocks. I do have some knowledge on stocks but, earlier my cousin had invested in the stocks and had a set-back. I know that you need to be updated in that but – What is a better option from the two???
Oh - and BTW : I'm a low life freaking Forum Spammer and I'm only here to spam my links in my sig and posts.
Neither are suggested unless you have a great deal of experience. You said your money comes from "earnings," is this from websites, aff programs, or just a job? If not from a job - invest back into what you know how to do... and is proven to make $$$$.
I can make 20% every month trading around in the current enviroment,, as in stocks.. Though, I don't know you.. And, I personally believe that stocks are going lower.. Maybe, for sometime.. But, if you know how to short and know what your doing go ahead.. but, for stocks.. I could be wrong, about them falling a lot further.. There are a lot of factors that point north,, especially within this current month.. But, who knows really.. You can invest in the long term, and buy some undervalued stocks.. Such as,, maybe a bank or two,, once they have another hard fall..
Though,, I think buying real estate is another good option.. Though, not if you are trying to flip them.. I would buy cheap real estate now -- (REO's that are below tax assessment values) and rent out these places to people,, after bringing them up to code, or fixing them up.. And, then within a few years I would sell the homes.. Once, the markets are better for sellers..
not experience? buy blue chip stocks and hold for 9 years and sell them during bull market.
If you buy real estate, you will get tax and you need to pay the monthly installments abd if you can't rent them out, you will end out paying lots of money.
Real estate investment need larger amount of fund.
Either or, IMHO. I've already begun investing in stocks with a relatively modest amount of money and I've already seen some great returns. I think right now I'm at about 25% although my entire portfolio was up at 70-80% before oil peaked at $147. Stocks are beginning to rebound so I think you've got a good shot at doing well IF you do your research.
As far as real estate goes - be wary where you invest. Many locations are seeing the lowest price in a decade or more. However, there are some areas where prices have never really come down. I was up in the Shenandoah Valley this past week for instance and it doesn't look like prices have been touched there. However, locations around my hometown and the capital of SC have seen a drop.
Either way you need to do your homework. Real estate is ultimately the investment vehicle of the rich when you really start looking at things.

Stocks you need to know what your doing(not just how to trade but get to know the financial status of the companies you invest in), and if you do well, you can get good sums of money from time to time.
Realstate is safer because you can rent a propierty and pay mortgage dues while you sell it for profit. Now this market is going down so it may be the right time for buying.
You could always invest in realstate but not in US. (Colombia is a great option )
DO NOT invest in real estate right now! I don't know how much you guys are watching the news, but prices are going straight down for the next 10 years in North America because of the housing bubble burst. People are selling, follow the trend!
I would wait a year to invest in the stocks as the the economy will remain in a bear market for some time because of the housing burst. The idea behind the stock market is that if you diversify your portfolio well enough (ie buying stocks from lots of different industries), your stocks should rise at a rate similar to the S&P 500 or some other indecies. The values in this rises much faster than bonds and bank interests. Any noob should be able to do this by learning how to read the basic statistics that could be found in yahoo finance!
Investment is stocks is good but look for long term investment rather than just gambling around on some silly market tips.
But in your case i would prefer investing the money back into web as it's the domain you know the best and hence you will have some sort of control over your investment, while in stocks it will be a complete luck game for you !

That's an amazing return!....I don't know how much money you're trading with, but if you're up to $50,000, at that rate, in less than 2 years you'll be making over $500,000 a month!

Exactly I agree with Daily earner. I have been trading and investing in forex and it is much lucrative market. It is volatile but there are ways to go with it.
For example you can invest in managed forex accounts if you don't have much knowledge of forex. Forex is the largest Financial market in the world with over $3 Trillions per day volume.
Now this is not to promote so I hope the moderators don't delete this post but to inform whats out there and I will Also post a link from new york times about a guy who made over 1.7 billions in one year using a program like the one I am about to mention.
There are many ways to invest in forex. Did you know that if you invested $2000 at 10% returns per month for 60 Months and let it compound it can turn into over $300,000 at the end of 60 months? Did you know if you invested $10,000 for 60 months at 10% average return per month and let it compound for 60 month it can turn into over $3 millions?
Yes take a calculator and do the math and you will see the results. Forex is very lucrative market but as long as you have the right program that you can work with. The above mentioned returns are true of a program that I know of and it has been producing average of 10% ( remember I said average, some months have been higher and some have been lower than 10%) for the last 2 plus years and has produced those kinds of returns for over 100,000 plus trades in 2 plus years. They have been using a 60 million dollars institutional grade forex program that was developed by a couple of rocket sceintist. And it has been producing phenomenol results consistently. Now the New York Times article has nothing to do with the program I mentioned but It is to inform that what kind of results can be achieved using a 60 Million dollars institutional Forex Trading Program.
Well most of us are not like the guys in the articles but hey we don't have to be, but yes we can achieve some good results depending on what each one of us is willing to learn and apply.
Invest in Real Estate or Stocks???
