Safe Investment ideas

[recycler]

Buy solar panels on your roof with a long term contract to supply back to the grid at a higher price than you pay for taking from the grid.

A colleague of me invested 300,000 Baht and gets 4-5,000 Baht per month back.

that is like 15-20% return, not that easy to believe.

but I have plenty roofs if it turn out to be true, (and safe enough).

details?

It was this company that installed it for him: http://renewableenergythai.com/ret-roof/

Not sure if you can enroll to this at the moment as he participated in round 2 that ended mid 2015, there was supposed to come a round 3 of the solar roof promotion.

For my roof the investment was calculated at 600,000 Baht with an estimated return of 80,000.

They can estimate your roof via Google maps.

I prefer to buy silver or gold.

good investment for the future.

i have no faith anymore in the shares.

Silver and gold are not investments. They are currency hedges. Investments provide a return on capital. The only return on precious metals is if you have bought in a dip, and get the benefit of a rise in the price.

Nowadays I am 90% cash and 10% shares. Australian bank shares are probably the best around in terms of return on capital ( 5 - 5.5% ); however, it all depends on what price you buy at.

If you are looking for long term here, I would suggest looking into BTS and all the companies that are supplying the construction materials.

OP, if your savings are in baht, and you are going to use the money as baht, think Thailand before investing abroad and taking currency risk on top.

The higher gain normally requires a higher risk factor.

Best Thai bank fixed interest rates seem to be in the average of 1.80 percent at the moment; withholding tax is 15% and from later this year, the maximum guarantee will be 1 million baht, each bank. To gain more and with a limited risk – but there is a risk – you can look into some of the bank’s Mutual Funds, preferably bonds for low risk. Kasikorn Bank (K-Bank) has a good English language website about Mutual Funds, where you can read more – you don’t need to be a finance expert and do regular market checks, the bank’s asset management will do that for you – but probably most banks have similar products. You cannot use Mutual Funds (or other investment instruments) if the saving is visa-guarantee-money.

Also Mutual Funds in stocks can be of your interest, as you may both gain capital and being paid dividend – just remember, the higher profit possibility, the higher risk for loosing some of your money.

I think the best investment with minimum involvement is finding a good stable dividend paying stock with a good track record, in your home country. They offer a far better return than any bank can give you plus you also get share appreciation in good times. The old saying is that it is better to own the bank then to put your money in it, which you can do by buying shares.

Most banks pay a dividend. As do Utility Companies, Cable TV Companies, Major Retail Companies, and in general many Blue Chip Companies, including Apple. My favorite is a Liquor Store Company that owns several liquor stores. They presently pay a 14% Dividend and have been paying a dividend on time since 2004. So Liquor Companies are also a pretty good bet as people drink in good times, as well as bed, and liquor never goes out of style, like Whale Oil did.

Yeah that is a great investment, earning a 14% dividend, if it wasn't that the equity has tanked with 50% over the past 12 months

Good method is to invest in Thai companies with significant investments in Pattaya, like Central Pattana PLC, by following the signals given off by the Pattaya Doom Indicator (PDI) ©2016 JSixpack, free licensing to CFPs. Turns out that TVF doom threads are excellent inverse economic indicators. Upon PDI signal confirmations by our economists and the mighty Tea Money Chorus, invest 60-70% of the amount you have to invest. Sell shares as the price rises unless there's another signal. Buy more shares as the share price later falls and double up on a signal.

I'll give more details with a chart soon.

sounds like something the Walen School of investment would have promoted
