Diversified!!!
The big thing is to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket, because you never know for sure what will win and what will lose. A lot of people say real estate right now, because that's what's been good for the past few years, but that just makes me more worried about when it will fall.
Personally, I think the best place today is emerging market stocks, but they are also very risky, and not a good place to put ALL your money.
Split it up: some U.S. growth stocks, some U.S. value stocks, some energy stocks, some mining stocks, some emerging market stocks, some Japanese or European stocks, some real estate, some in various currencies (mostly in your home country, but maybe some Japanese Yen or Euro or something else too).
With interest rates rising, I'm inclined to stay away from bonds, at least in this country. However, you might find some nations where interest rates are not rising (Australia?), and their bonds might be worth considering. I'm not generally a big fan of bonds anyway, and less so now, but if you can find a safe haven with falling rates and a good payment, it wouldn't be worth considering as a small portion of your overall portfolio.
And, mutual funds are fine for small investors, but once your at the level you are, you SHOULDN'T need them. You can get adequate diversification without a fund, the only advantage they provide you is the professional management. But at this level, you can afford to hire a personal money manager/ investment advisor, who can specialize the decisions to your own needs rather than making general decisions for a whole fund full of people.
Best of luck to you. |

1) Take 6-8 months to learn all you can about the stock market and the bond market.2)Invest in those that you are comfortable with.Good companies that you know something about.High quality only.(Ref Standard & Poors Outlook at the library, or Morningstar.com) NOT "Penny"stocks.3)Use money you won't need for 5-6 years.4) Be patient.Take 5-6 years to invest the 250. 5) Diversify.Invest in many different industries over time.6)If you are more comfortable letting an expert make investment decisions for you, invest in No-Load Mutual Funds, like Vanguard, or T.Rowe Price, or Dodge&Cox. Go for the ones that have expense ratios under 1.0 7) If you are young, you can go 50% or more in stocks, and the rest in bonds. 8) Reinvest the dividends. Many companies have Dividend Reinvestment Plans(DRIPS). This will give you the big-time benefits of compounding. It all adds up.Above all, be patient; be disciplined. And remember that the market is dominated by institutions and short term traders. you need to be in each investment for the long run. |

They say more Millionaires have been made off Real-estate. You may want to buy Houses in need of repair and fix and sale. Another thing is look at Mutual Funds sometimes they can be a good investment, IF, you not know how yourself on the Stock Market. Real-estate give a better return in the long haul as people need homes and it keep going up.
I used Janus Funds, they OK, but, there may be others that better. Many other things but this two for you to consider. |

Very carefully. If this is all the money you have, your age will make a very big difference in how and what you invest in. IF you are younger, you do not have so many worries about security and you can devote as much as 40% to higher risk investements, such as volitile stocks...you will have to keep a daily eye on these investment, prepared to sell at a moment's notice. The other 60% could be invested in mutal funds who typically pay about 9-10% a year in gain.
If you are older, with no hope of replacing the funds, Mutuals are the only way to go...pick good performing mutals. The returns are smaller, but the risk is minimal. 250,000 is certainly not enough to retire on, but considering how hard it is to put that kind of money together says be careful about what you do. REal Estate investment ties up money ... if there is a chance you will need the money quickly, real estate is not the place to put it. And, 250K is not much to play with real estate today. !! Good luck |

Goldwing is right. Depends on your age and preference. Real estate ties up fund. You really should be looking at mutual funds and other investment alternatives. |
