Alright, so as of right now I have a good surplus of money at 21 years of age. I'm still attending college so that means I have to pay of my loans at some time, but I realize that I'll be good for now considering the loans don't have to be paid for years and until I have a paying job.
As of right now, I have a full future ahead of me, and I want to put $5000 in the markets somewhere. I was thinking in the commodities market, but I plan on doing a bit more research on business practices and the sustainability of these industries.
You guys are some of the smartest people I know when it comes to finance and making due on less, so please help me out. I will be forever in your debt.
My current 3 options: (please rate them, and if anyone knows any companies which are based on these please send me a PM)
1. Petrol industry in Russia- When I went to Russia, I noticed the oil money was being used for very constructive purposes (literally reconstruction, redevelopment, and goods and services). Putin's current protectionist policies are actually saving the Russian economy from foreign influence, which may either stymy my attempts or help them. Right now, it may not be as big of a boom as the early 1990's, but Russia seems to be on the up and up in terms of oil and industry.
2. Commodities Market in Africa- This will always be an area which is full of uncertainty and doubt, but now that China has started to reach it's tentacles out on the continent, I sense that stability is not far. While European's view of Africans is one of racism and hatred, China's is more of $$$$$$$$. This is why I am happy to say that I sense stability in Africa's future because China's investment not only to African industry, but to infrastructure and standards of living.
3. Swedish and Norwegian Currency- There's a reason why I mentioned this, but scalping seems to be the best option in this situation. The crown currency in both of these countries is extremely strong at the moment, along with their economies. This growth and strength is indeed sustainable, as their monetary and fiscal policies are quite moderate. As much as you mock Sweden over it's feminism, it has a lot of other policies right in terms of the economy. Hell, when I went to Sweden everyone I talked to mocked the Euro like it was toilet paper (which it full may be after they run out of money to bail out the 6 headed monster which is Spain/Greece/Italy/Cyprus/Portugal/Ireland). Norway also has a shit ton of oil and fishing, which is always productive.
Other ancillary but volatile options:
4. Investing in the upcoming Second Korean War and redevelopment in the Koreas
5. Reconstructing the Middle East once the instability of the "Arab Spring" ends.
6. Finnish startups (the country is putting tons of money into the small start ups in order to buoy their economy which sank once Nokia went under)
Thanks guys, I know you'll be helpful in this.
