This tip sheet deals with OTC picks which makes it much more difficult to verify any claims since OTC stocks are not listed on any exchange. This isn't the type of stocks that I would suggest someone invest in unless they had a lot of experience and people with experience don't buy tip sheets.

or 1800% could mean over a long period of time...IE.. a penny stock which increases...

I'm also wondering if there were stocks that had huge increases in value, after they were seriously devalued in the 2008 crash.

From my limited knowledge, there are approximately 13000 stocks traded in North America.. that's quite a wide range to choose from for the 1800% example.

They can't. The wording says "up to $1800" which just means that they picked one stock that did that and for all you know that was four years ago. These type of services are always a waste of money.

The other alternative is that the software is picking stocks with negligible volume and thus causing the spikes which would make it profitable on paper trading but a loser for people actually doing it.

I visited the thecapitalgainsreport.com/ website... it claims "Consistent Winners - Gains up to 1800%!!"...

The first paragraph states: TheCapitalGainsReport helps people just like you become smarter, more successful investors. We teach people like you how to trade OTC stocks yourself. Our newsletter offers you top stock alerts, powerful investing tips, and exclusive research you won’t find anywhere else.

Can you take a moment and explain to us how this is possible?

I'm sure the software is good and credible, but I'm curious to know how people could generate 1800%

There is just a number of investing opportunities now. Thus, you may think about mutual funds investing or real estate investment. But you should always bear in mind that there are some disadvantages. Investig into real estate is not considered to be profitable now since at the moment the supply exceeds the demand. And nobody knows when the situation is going to change. As for mutual funds, it is rather profitable. But I were you I would choose some large investing company. It is more profitable and less risky, since when the company is big enough, then it's possible to carry out a wide diversification of the investments.

Hello,

The following is my very conservative advice.
Put the money in the bank until you figure out what to do with it. Get the best interest rate possible and leave it sit there.... even if it's for the next 12 months.

You NEED to thoroughly educate yourself on investments before you put your money in, other wise you could lose it quickly.

Inheritances are a once in a lifetime thing. It's best to be really conservative with them.

Hey friend,

I am currently going through a similar thing...am inheriting a bit of money. Wishing it made me happy, but all this thinking about where to put it to make the best choice, it's just about driving me crazy.

I am so worried about making the wrong choice, I am stressing.

Came here to find information about this exact thing, and here was your good question...

Thanks for the thread, if you don't mind my piggy backing here, I will read and see what people have to say. Which bank is best and what to do, what to do.

How to invest a windfall?

Postby oxbaker » Sat Aug 02, 2008 11:01:25 AM

Is windfall the correct term? Anyway, I'm going to be inheriting a substancial amount from my recently departed grandfather and I've never been really into investing so I thought I'd ask for some advice.

Right now we are just planning on using the money to pay off our car and most of our mortgage but is that the best use of the funds? Is there a better investment that is relatively safe and can make me more than what I'm saving on not having to pay the interest on my mortgage?

And just to clarify, I'm just looking for general advice and not a personal advisor who wants to fill me in on thier big opportunity. I won't be calling or emailing anyone from here to discuss it further so don't ask.

Thanks in advance for your advice!
