Investing my money

The best way is alway the way that suit your risk profile and within the ability to atleast understand the risk factors. If it is for long term goal, write down the time horizon and set realistic goals. Then move on to allocating into assets according to your risk profile and your comfort zone. Just start from your comfort zone, slowly learn more and more step by step. Do not blindly following the hype to chase after returns. If you can't hold or unable to stop lose, you might end up suffering more than just financial loses.
