Stocks, bonds, forex, mutual funds... everyone knows about these investment tools. And very few are the investors who can really make good returns. Trading stocks is not as easy as some sales pages make it sound, most mutual funds are run by *****s who don't care about your money, and you don't want to know the number of forex traders who committed suicide. Really.
So why don't we break the pattern? There are other ways to invest money that are not mainstream, and surprisingly often work much better than the conventional ones.
Similar to tea and cocoa powder, honey never expires (if properly stored). At $10 per kg you'll need 100kg to invest $1,000 but that's just 70 large pots.
Honey price has raised 10 times for 30 years (1970 - 2000). So in theory buying a ton of honey now can almost secure your retirement.
More seriously, if you want to invest more money you can consider investing in honey bees. You'll help the nature as well.
