I have some savings -about 50k usd- and so far I've been thinking about mutual funds and Forex and Bitcoin
Any advice/recommendations/ideas? Does anyone here do investments?
You should speak to an investment professional.
I have a conflict of interest as I have a substantial position in bitcoin. With that being said I would argue that you should invest a certain percentage of your savings into bitcoin. The remaining balance of your savings should be invested in a mix of stocks (via index funds) and bonds.
You should also be sure that you have at least a certain percentage of your annual salary in savings in the event you get laid off or lose your job. This percentage should be greater if you are self employed, are a temporary worker or work in an otherwise unstable industry (including working at a start up). Otherwise you should probably have 6 months salary in savings (or a CD).
