Any other solid assets apart from real estate and gold?

[King Belieal]

I have always wanted to invest in solid assets. I have an attachment to solid investments because I have some belief that they always come out with better yield

Gold and real estate are examples of solid investments. Which other solid assets can one invest apart from those two?

 

[Min George]

I don't know of any other tangible investments apart from those gold and real estate. I am not sure any other exists.

You can start a business of production not just buying and selling. Manufacturing is a solid way of investing money

There are other items like silver or diamond. I have heard people still invest in silver and diamonds as well.

Well, people do go for luxury collectibles and antiques. They have a niche market but can be liquidated in time of needs. I don't have a personal experience with that.
While, silver is considered as an investment option giving reasonably good profit, diamonds are still not seen as investment thing in our country. It's an item of luxury and personal possession than an investment thing. The resale value of diamond does not yield much of profit.

There are so many assets including crops like corn. Other precious stones like silver are also solid assets.

In finance and accounting, solid assets refer to assets that have stable value and are not subject to much depreciation, some examples of solid assets apart from real estate and gold are antiques, art objects, jewelry etc.

Silver and diamond are all solid assets alongside gold. A solid business is also a solid asset if it is built to stand.

For someone in middle class economic group or even the lower rich ones( higher middle class), solid assets are limited to real estate and gold. Many would also consider silver as this metal also gives a good financial return if you liquidate it. Other solid assets might be the high value properties that you might have inherited. It can also be a high yielding agricultural land that produces some cash crop.

Bonds. When you buy a bond, you're essentially lending money to an entity. Generally, this is a business or a government entity.

 

[arunima25]

Yes, if you have a very profitable business that you have launched or you have inherited, you can definitely consider it as a solid asset. It becomes even more valuable if it is well established and has a potential to sustain long.

 

[Kross]

A business is a solid asset. Silver is one too. Oil and natural gas can be solid assets n some contexts.
