So as the title says I have 15k to invest and I want to try something fun/unusual with it.
So far I have thought of purchasing a vending machine route, down payment on cheap student rental property, individual stocks. I am not sure what else.
To me the stocks option seems the least amount of fun. Or at least lacks something I'm looking for.
Anyways does anybody else have some cool ideas?
Take a look at Warren Buffet's investment style. Boring as hell, but one of the most successful investors in history.
Pick 6-10 long term investments (as in several months at least), and leave the money there.
It won't be ""fun,"" but you know what is? Day trading. You get that constant adrenaline rush from putting cash in and getting it back out within a few minutes or hours.
And Day trading is the best way to burn away that 15k.
TL;DR: Invest exclusively in long-term stocks... ones that come to mind are Kandi Tech (KNDI), Synchrony Financial (SYF).
