Congratulations. 250k is a tidy sum if properly invested.

Go into retail. From the outset,may i inform you that I play in the retail industry,so you can discount my enthusiasm.

If you buy an assortment of fmcg (fast moving consumer goods) on wholesale and then retail with 3% average markup,holding everything constant,your portfolio will be 257,500 on the first wave. Buy more stocks worth 257.5k at 3%....by the time you are on the 4th stock cycle,you shall have made 12% profit on your investment. That can be achieved within a month or two depending on choice of stocks and location.

Of course its not all that linear,but if you partner with an existing retail outlet,your contribution towards management of business (overheads) is small,your investment will not loose value,you are shielded from inflation,you can avoid tax,and you shall get debt working in your favor (if you buy stocks worth 250k from a wholesaler,you can get credit for another 250k on 30-60 days terms) Imagine the turnaround in 60 days! On average you should make at least 10% per month on invested capital.

If it looks clean,it keeps your pockets clean. I mean,look at the soil...

Unit trust a good option,money market fund a good safe haven with better returns than any bank for your amount as you decide the next step. If you have no immediate use for the money,any equity based fund can give you considerably good returns if invested for the long term (recommended 3 yrs +,ideally 5 yrs +),on average conservative 15% p.a for the invested period. Money works for you as you do your work,exit whenever you please as unit trusts are open ended so you're not tied in to any period. Good especially if you're not inclined to trade in the NSE direct due to lack of time for research anconstant monitoring.

Alternatively get youself a plot and wait to for it to appreciate or develop it at a future date

Hi,

you can consider buying pieces of plots in areas with prospects of

growth in the future. They will appreciate after some time. However,be carefull

so that you are not conned.

As I said elsewhere on a similar SK thread,why to try an online thing? You won't need the whole of that 250k to start with. And the margins are better than most places. Though you have to work really hard...

But you can start with 10k,or 50k....and get amazing results. Think about it.

I have seen a friend of mine try the online forex thing and I cant risk my cash on that field! The 'buying plot' venture is far better. So,do I have to go through the plot selling agents or does any1 know the best persons to go for?
Pliz update me!

Progress is a slow process

Pal!

You've got to be extra care full when purchasing a piece of land,I think you should consider develope of the area.......like how fast,security wise,the kind of soil - you might be required to have a bore hole with the current situation with water.... i think that should also be part of consideration......... you might think of farming before you decide what to do or hire the place to someone for farming so fatility of the soil should be looked at ........... ama!!!!
