How would you invest $150,000 dollars?

Assuming that's all I had in the world?

1. I'd pay off any debt besides mortgage/student loan debt (unless my interest rates were higher than 6%).

2. Put $15,000 in a money market for emergencies (or 6 months expenses, whichever is greater).

3. Put $4000 in a Roth IRA (Vanguard Target Retiremenet 2045 or Life stragegy Growth fund) for the current year and an extra $4000 in the money market--which I'd transfer to the Roth IRA Jan 1 of the following year.

4. I'd put 20% down on a home I could easily afford with my current income.

5. I'd put the rest in a bond and stock index funds (Vanguard again)--bonds for short term goals, stocks for long term.

I would go to your bank and ask to talk with an investment rep. Its free and you can get great advise. I would look into Mutual Funds. Tht amount is too much for an IRA.

If you don't expect to need the money within the near future (say you're planning on buying a house or going to law/medical/other highly expensive school within the next 5 years) your best bet is to just stick it in the stock market.

The easiest way to do this is to buy index funds-- for example a fund that tracks the S&P 500 index would hold stock in the 500 largest US corporations. It's quick, your totally diversified, and you don't need to spend a lot of time researching stocks. Two Exchange Traded Funds (ie funds that trade on the market like stocks and which can be bought through a broker) are the SPDR fund (SPY) and the iShares fund (IVV). Vanguard also has a very well regarded S&P 500 index fund.

Good luck.

I'd split it up into ten stocks, $15k each.

I'd go for blue chip value stocks.

Diversification is a good way to allocate your money. Depending on your age, ridding yourself of debt should be priority #1. With the remaining money, I would invest in mutual funds, ETF's and stocks where the risks increases down the line. So if you are older, I would focus most of the money on mutual funds with long track records of positive gains. If you are younger, you have room to be more risky with ETF's and stocks.

The safest way to go is a CD but I would invest in a CD only if it is short term at a very good interest rate (because the return rate is usually par with inflation, you probably wont make much money overall).

Also I would consider maxing out 401(k) or Roth IRA (if you have any). This could give a nice tax deduction.
