Start small, start safe. Read, read, read! Look for trends and dig down.
For example: China is investing heavily in solar panel production. Solar panels require large amounts of silver. There is only so much silver to go around. So barring a massive silver strike in the next 5 years, silver prices are going to rise.
Buying silver now at a lower price to sell back later for a profit is a seemingly good, safe investment.
GO CAPITALISM!<—-(not sarcasm)

Avoid any company producing out of Mexico. They’re set to elect a Socialist for their President very soon (he’s leading by 52% in the polls). Politics aside, it’s no secret that the first thing Socialists do when they come to power is to seize manufacturing and production for the State. See the debacle in Venezuela or Cuba for proof.
