A government bond is a lower risk and lower reward example. Few governmental entities go bankrupt; thus, the risk is lower. Lower risk should bring lower reward.
The best way to invest money is to match your risk/reward tolerance. Maximize your risk to levels you are comfortable with. All investments have some risk of failure. Calculate a reasonable level of risk for the reward you expect.
Use time efficiently. Timing is essential. Allow for the investment to mature. A man can easily lose money, if he is forced to withdraw his money early. So use "extra" money that can grow over time.
Doing your homework beforehand is the best way to invest money. A wise investor does not believe everything he hears. The wealthy and powerful are usually privy to detailed insider information the average man cannot get access to. Be reasonable assessing your advantages and disadvantages.
Be careful, prudent and wise. Don't jump into anything that you are unprepared for. Wait for your opportunity, get ready and then grab your profits. by: Robert Grazian
