How can you learn to invest money? Well you could sign up for some expensive courses and hope to learn some special secret investment tips that will make you rich overnight.
Unfortunately learning to invest money is not that easy.
The tried and tested method to success is often a lot cheaper but more time consuming.
The first choice you need to make is how much time and money you have free to invest your money in.
Obviously if you are short on time then trying to research and learn a completely new area of investing (for example futures trading).
Instead you may be better of simply investing in a fully managed investment fund.
Obviously you should only invest money that you can afford to lose.
If you cannot afford to lose the money you are planning to invest then you should seriously consider the riskiness of the investments you will make.
If you cannot afford to lose the money then very low risk such as savings deposit account or a government bond may be the best option.
On the other hand if you have spare cash kicking around that you can afford to lose and don't know what to do with it then maybe investing in shares in the latest in fad technology stock may be the right investment for you.
The easiest way to learn to invest money is to simply read around the subject.
The more you read, the more you'll learn.
The more you learn, the better investment decisions you'll be able to make.
