In this context, let us look beyond the traditional investment patterns of mutual funds and stocks.  Businesses have been changing, so also the investment market which has come up with new options, which promise excellent returns. 

Therefore, through this article, I list below two of the most popular choices, which am sure will prove helpful to you.

So, here we go.

1.     Pokemon Cards

I am sure you find this funny, but there’s more to Pokemon cards and then playing.  These can help you earn fortune.  


When these  came in the market initially they were just games meant for children.  However, today it is a game connected to investment.

You must read this to believe it, A Charizard Pokemon card is presently sold at $2,00,000.  Around five to six years back they were valued at $9000.  So, that tells a lot about its increase in value over the years.  

They are so much in demand now that some cards were out of stock a few years back.  This further increases the price of cards, as when supply is less, their demand is more. 

Investment in Pokemon cards is quite simple to understand and the market for this is very huge.

You have the option of bidding on individual catalogues or even a single song at a time.

If money isn’t an issue with you, private market is another great option.  If you have the rights to music, you can earn through royalties, as you will paid each time the song is played.  

Many of the top investors prefer purchasing music rights from record companies. The cost factor involving in buying any music right could vary between $50-$500.

It can also go much beyond that if the artist is very popular.

Since music industry is never stagnant, investment in this sector is not a waste.
