in what business would you invest ?

[AniviaBtc]

The only thing in my mind when it comes to that is the online shopping business.

We all know that people are sick and tired of this quarantine things, and people want to go outside to go shopping but they can't. So I'm thinking about investing in to an online shops where different kind of things are there, especially those things that the people liked to have like pajamas, accessories, and other stuffs.

I think that is a good idea and people will love it when you sell the things that they are looking for online.

I think it depends on what is currently trending or what is in demand, I can invest my money through stocks or cryptocurrencies but in terms of physical business the idea will depend on the problem that we are currently experiencing. Before there are lack of medical supplies like face mask and face shield where the demand is so high, that time is the best time to create a manufacturing company because you can get huge sales due to the high demand and also due to the high pricing strategy. Right now for me the best investment is in food industry because a lot of food businesses are been closed due to the pandemic and the competition in some areas were decreased and it is the good thing because you can participate in that kind of opportunity.

Honestly I'm not long term investor, I only choose a projecg/start up that can give me a result in a short term maybel like three-six months. Yeah, I'm not diligent enough to analyst a project in the long term because there will be many factors that can make the project success or even fail.

Also, currently I just focus to invest all my fund in crypto currency especially bitcoin. It is really promissing that gives me a huge profit now which is bitcoin is starting to reach its all time high. Moreover with bitcoin price reach its previous all time high I think it is enough to be made as a reason that bitcoin will always have a high price whatever how big it fail.

If it's about stocks, then I would go with a business that produces primary necessities because people will keep on buying them because they need them, unlike what they just want. For example that we are now in a pandemic and we face different calamities, people buy canned goods, etc to store in their houses or to donate, so it will always be in demand. We saw how most companies' stocks started to fall because of the pandemic, but companies that produce essential goods get so much order because that's what the government usually gives to the people during calamities. But if it is not just about stocks, real estate is also a good investment.

Indeed. Companies that produce essential goods like food companies or fast food chains are good things to invest with your money because people can't live without these companies or businesses. Investing in the stock market is risky during the corona crisis, but when you invest in trendy companies for consumers, it will help you gain profit.

It requires special grace to make a viral business like coca cola, there is almost no country in the world that coca cola has not got to, that is more that a business of common sense. Akiko Dangote the richest man in Africa from Nigeria,also produces salts, sugar building material, cements which are unavoidable items/materials but has not circulated round the world because they also have their products. The best business will be around food & shelter .

E-commerce has a very large market capitalization in almost all countries in the world. and almost everyone will also use the e-commerce platform because of the encouragement of industry 4.0. Good choice

Pharmaceutical companies. They seem to have a great future. The population in most industrialized countries is aging, and many require medicines chronically. On the other hand, I have the impression that this is not going to be the only pandemic that we have in sight in the next few years and there the pharmaceutical companies are going to play an important role.

Pharmaceutical industry has stiff competition even though there are only few companies belongs to it because their production is really huge but that idea is really good because right now pharmaceutical companies are competing on who will first to have a 100% safe vaccine that can prevent to became infected of the current virus which considered as threat especially in elders because they are prone to have a severe cases that can cause death. Look at the stocks when a news comes up that they are now in 95% of the project where it considered as safe and it will now be mass produced. The only thing that we should consider when investing in this kind of industry is the capital required which is really huge because mostly it take millions of dollar before able to make and build a company.

I am in a Medical field that is why I always wanted to put up a business wherein it is related to my profession. A retail pharmacy for example. A business like this where in it is highly in demand and  the purpose of " meeting customer's need" is an advantage.
 
 However, if we are talking about the "business investments", I'm gonna go for the real state property. That for sure will gonna build a success profit in due time since the ROI still takes years before finally making a good and stable income from that.

Right now my favorite sector to invest in is the IoT sector or "Internet of Things".  Semiconductors are a big part of this sector and how it works.  I have been a big investor and fan of Nvidia, Skyworks Solutions, AMD, Texas Instruments etc for some time now. An ETF they are all in SOXX, has been one of the best performers for years now.  The IoT sector is taking over the world. Being connected at all times is big business and will only continue to grow.

There are certain options which are good for investment, I will try to list a few of them.

1- Online classes is a good option because education has moved from classes to now online and in such times if you have a business like online tuition then you might see a huge spike in sales.

2- Online shopping is another good option but be careful because there are new competitors arising daily so it is not easy to survive in a crowded market.

3- Food delivery is one thing I feel has a bright future because people look to get their food delivered instead of visiting restaurants.


There are others as well but I feel like these are the most dominant options, also maybe I would suggest something like online pharmacy maybe.

According to the survey where I’m at, real business at the time of this pandemic is less profitable. Especially if it’s just about to start.
It’s just going to cost you money. Moreover, starting a business in food or drink. There aren’t too many buyers during this pandemic.
People are happier at home and mostly cook at home. Your food will be rotten and wasted away because it doesn’t sell, or there are lot lefts.
And so on. It will erode your capital if it continues that way.
I think it’s a pretty good business when this pandemic is an online business, but it also doesn’t guarantee 100% success.
But there is nothing wrong if we try. Don’t give up!

Before there are lack of medical supplies like face mask and face shield where the demand is so high, that time is the best time to create a manufacturing company because you can get huge sales due to the high demand and also due to the high pricing strategy.

The problem with such businesses is that you are relying that the virus will stay for long period because face masks and sanitizers are items which won't be in demand at all once the virus comes to an end and you would have invested money already in manufacturing so you will have to sell them somehow.

The better idea would be to look for opportunities such that they exist now in pandemic times but also have a decent future like the online shopping idea above.

On my end, you can never go wrong investing in food companies as people always need to eat. But with Tesla, a lot of people can live their lives without Tesla. Even during this pandemic, a lot of businesses are closed and yet, many food deliveries are still open. So I'll go for McDonalds and other fast food chains. Coca Cola may be regarded as luxury during pandemic but you can get a water refilling business instead. This is also open even during crisis. People need to drink and eat no matter what situation they are in. So you can think of businesses around these industries.

Why would i order food ? It's cheaper to cook at home ... now people are saving money ...

Well, food businesses arise during this pandemic despite of dinning restrictions. Cooking your own food is indeed practical but cravings won't exist for no reason. Those who were at home are more likely looking for foods they crave with, and since there are restrictions because of the pandemic, they will just choose to eat at home thru delivery. Restaurants won't survive if majority of the people will choose not to patronise their products for more than 7 months of restrictions. The fact that they do still exist is a valid reason why food business is a good idea. Food is timely, it will never be set aside. Unlike on other businesses which are only seasonal in some sense. Aside from this industry, I would choose to engage in such field someday as an investment, and will probably engage to real estate as well.

You're talking about investing in stocks, I take it? 

I'm not sure what the new Tesla/Microsoft/Apple/Amazon is going to be, and that's not how I invest anyway.  That entails way too much risk for my blood.  I prefer to invest in companies that pay good dividends and are stable.  Tech companies tend to have nothing in the way of earnings, don't pay dividends, and have P/E's of infinity or at least much higher than average.

Everyone makes their own picks (and should), but personally I'm bullish on pharmaceutical companies right now--and have been for years, actually.  They're usually cash cows, pay high dividends, and are generally recession-resistant.  The need for medical care doesn't stop when the economy tanks, and the big drug companies just keep cranking out their tablets, injectables, and other great products.  My top picks have been AbbVie, Pfizer, and Zoetis if anyone cares to know. 

A retail pharmacy for example. A business like this where in it is highly in demand and  the purpose of " meeting customer's need" is an advantage.

That's a nice goal, but it's impractical because the big pharmacy chains have everything locked up (depending on where you live).  I love independent pharmacies, but they're a dying breed and I'm not even sure how much money is to be made by starting one.

That's right, at times like this, the role of fast food without having to be complicated, I also use McDonalds, and Coca Cola. this is already giving us some relief during a pandemic. maybe there are other suggestions besides McDonalds, and Coca Cola so that I add to the list of food references at home?

There are a lot of variables to investing and it is never going to be the same experience for everyone. In order to build up a diversified portfolio which is less at risk of failure, you're probably going to need to invest in at least 10-20 different companies. If you want to go the safest route - pick the biggest ones in each sector, although this is likely to return quite a low amount each year (can you say 3%?). Lots of people online tend to drift towards FAANG stocks, but this could mean they are heavily overvalued and subject to bubble behavior which might eventually pop. Personally, I try to aim for around 7-10% invested in different sectors and feel that this gives a nice balance - but you really need to research and understand what you are buying instead of asking for recommendations on a random online forum.

If such is your way of investing then you should invest in things like selling of masks, etc because they are going to be in demand for at least 6 months until we have a vaccine and the virus stops spreading.

currently I just focus to invest all my fund in crypto currency especially bitcoin. It is really promissing that gives me a huge profit now which is bitcoin is starting to reach its all time high. Moreover with bitcoin price reach its previous all time high I think it is enough to be made as a reason that bitcoin will always have a high price whatever how big it fail.

Actually not a bad idea but here we were trying to discuss real life businesses where we can invest right now because although BTC is a great option but you need to invest in multiple options such that you can earn regular profits and the BTC market is great no doubt but it can swing negatively and you will have to wait for sometime for it to go up again. In those times you should have alternate options to get you going.

I am investing in crypto businesses, like most others here! Many of them are unknown to the masses, but it's the reason why it's a good time to invest in them, they are cheap to invest! It's risky, but it's the same risk people had years ago when started investing in big companies mentioned by OP and some others! Nobody was rushing to invest in them, they had to build their way to up, and it's why expect some crypto business to do, to fight their way to the top in years to come!

Pretty much this, food is something that you need on daily basis, food is what people are working for and great food means a lot. You have a gf? Then you go at restaurant to have a dinner with her. Food and drink (alcohol) is the business that will always bring a profit. If you offer high-quality food and drink, then you'll always sell them with proper marketing.
In overall, right now it's the best time to invest in digital technologies, I mean digital marketing, web development company (frontend/backend). This is the niche that is necessary right now and will shine for years, it's an era of Information Technologies at least and covid proved it like 2+2=4.

I think it depends on the people which business is they think suitable for them, sometimes the business works well if you managed it willingly or you really like what you're doing, i think that's the secret on how you can grow your business. For me i'd love food businesses and you don't have to worry about it's season because every one needs food unlike other that they need to wait for the peak time to sell their products. Always consider the place, season,trending and many more things before you decide what business you would invest.
