Take the chance, and diversify your portfolio. Don't just invest in short term government bonds, because your money will gain only a bit of interest in the few years you have it in there. What you do is see the market now, everything is low yes? Well, take companies like GE, or united technologies and put some of the money in there. They are too big to go under, and I saw the forecast for the GE stock to be worth almost 60 dollars a share this time next year. It is currently selling around 18 dollars a share. Put about 1/3 of your money in the market, look into other stocks as well, diversify the stock portion of your portfolio with different industries and companies. Next, 2/3 of your portfolio get involved with a mutual fund, a moderate growth one. There are even emerging markets funds with money in China and India that look to give a promising return. With the other third of your portfolio keep something safe: government bonds, T-bills, cash equivalents like CD's or money market accounts, and keep a bit of cash in a savings account for emergencies. With this portfolio you will make at LEAST 8-10% in the next five years, probably more.

Invest? In this environment? Leave the bucks in the bank for now (and make sure the bank is insured).

Given the short time horizon (a couple of years) and that you have consumer debt, your best rate of return will be to pay off the credit card and auto loans, unless you got a really sweet deal on them.

Congratulations on having a serious emergency fund. I heard a report that 60% of families have no savings at all.

If you to invest in the market because you think the economy will pick up soon, you could invest in a total stock market mutual fund like Vanguard's Total Market fund. It's low cost and will diversify you big time.

First wait until the dow goes over 10k and is will start dropping like crazy, making a new low. When it make the new low, below 7.5k, jump in and buy stock like MIDD, RIG, PBR, JPM-G, AAPL, GRC , KGC , etc.


Forex Investor
Definitely diversify, and stay away from HYIPs. One of your investments should be in the Forex market. There are some good forex programs that don't require you to plunk down 50k just to get consideration.

That being said, don't just go out and buy the first forex program you see. If you don't want the risk of trading forex yourself, consider automated forex robots that have set parameters.

Many forex brokerages have done very well, despite the economy. Since currency is being traded, there's always money to be made, you just have to have the right company to take you there. .5% to 1% daily is not uncommon.

Decide where you want to invest your $20 K first, and certainly consider diversification. You can invest in stocks or options, but that will require you to find a broker or do a lot of investigation and learning on your part.

You could invest in tax leans, again a lot of learning.

You could invest in HYIP (high yield investment programs) which gives you an incredible rate of return (up to 3% daily or more), but you may lose all of your investment. This does not require a lot of learning but does require some saavy, and much diversification. You must expect to lose some or all of your money here, but if you do it right there are people who are making consistent money (like my wife).

You could go to Vegas (not recommended) and gamble.

You could find a partner and open up a small business using your $20 K as down payment.

You could open an orange account and get up to 3% return annually.

With a relatively small investment you can learn more about options and stock trading (from $14.95 to $3000). Don Fishback has some good ideas for investing and teaches you, the common man or woman, how to do it.

Search different options and go after what gives you the most hope - not just for the near future but for the long run.

Good luck.

In the current economic climate i would only invest in government bonds that have a guaranteed rate of return, as at the moment the amount of speculation caused by the banking sector makes the stock market for just about every sector of the market, the only way to find a good investment is if you have some good market knowledge and can predict a trend that a certain firm is following.

For example at present investing in Oil Companies is not the best course of action due to the price of oil falling, the same can be said about 2nd hand cars, they are falling in value, however this means that 2nd hand car dealerships are becoming more profitable, so this can be a good investment.

So if you are looking to do this the best place is to go to your local bank and enquire about what portfolios they have available, there are also some good portfolios available on the London stock exchange website or the New York Stock Exchange www.nyse.com
