On the Blog of spectator.co.uk a study was published which compares various different alternative investments. The leading investment idea, are car investments, which are said to be profitable on both short and long term view according to the mentioned study.
But for what should you look when investing in young timers and which criteria’s are definitely a must, in the following I will present a short list of my thoughts on this:
- good condition as spare parts could also be rare
- should be a special edition and definitely LIMITED car version
- good and dry storage is a must to keep the condition perfect
- stick to diversification, don’t invest all your money (Car investments can be profitable but time is the leading factor)
According to spectator.co.uk , one can make on average 17% return in 12month, over 100% return in 5years time and over 400% return in 10years time by choosing the right investment. This sounds very nice, nevertheless there where money can be made lies also risk – there is no free lunch.
