Find GOLD in your Room!

Investment opportunities are all around us, but most of us are not aware of them. Finding great investments is like finding gold, and one of the best places to discover that “GOLD” is in your own bedroom. You might think that your room only consists of smelly socks and dirty laundry, but there is an abundance of investment gold just disguised as regular products.

What kind of investment opportunities am I talking about? Let’s take a look around shall we? On your desk there might be a computer, maybe it’s a HP computer. Beside your computer there might be an Ipod or a Nokia cell phone. Let’s check out your wardrobe. You might see some American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch shirts or some Guess jeans. The list goes on and on, and you are probably wondering how all these products of yours can actually become investment opportunities.

All of those products you bought and now own are produced by companies that are now extremely successful all because of young people like you purchasing their products. Let’s take a look back two years ago at the stock prices of these companies that were just mentioned and compare them with their stock price right now.

Company Nov. 2005 Price Nov. 2007 Price Total % Return
HP $28 $51 82%
Apple $70 $182 160%
Nokia $17 $39 129%
American Eagle $14 $23 64%
Guess $17 $46 171%

As you can see all of those stocks went up in value during the past two year. The biggest gain came from Apple, whose Ipods have been flying off the selves, thanks to all the young people.

I am not saying that everything you buy is a good investment opportunity; it just takes a little research to determine if it actually is. Choosing an investment is like shopping for something expensive, when you are planning to buy that expensive product, you usually research and compare the product with others and try to find the best value. It’s the same when investing, doing a little research and comparing before making an investment decision will always make you feel more confident with the choice, and eventually be greatly rewarded.

From what I showed you, you can now see that a lot of products just in your own bedroom can become incredible investments.

Golden investment opportunities are everywhere, take advantage of it.
