Physical gold. Short-term Swiss and Canadian government paper. Junior precious metals mining stocks that are free of margin. Stay away from the US equity and bond markets. Remember, the US stock markets are highly manipulated through central bank and government intervention. Internet financial institutions cannot be relied upon. Real estate is very high risk, despite what conventional wisdom would lead you to believe. If you do buy stock, be sure to take delivery of paper certificates to protect yourself. |

make sure you try to plan something with an advisor or someone experienced.
2 important things most seemed to overlook-
1. when will you need (all/some) of this money? the longer out you need it, the riskier you can get and more you can make.
2. your own personal risk tolerance. what your past experiences are, and what your current expectations are (are they too high or low?)
for example- from least to most risky (in general)
cash-> CDs -> bonds/bond funds -> allocation funds-> blue chip stocks/funds -> small cap and growth stocks/funds
if your investments match your personal qualities, you should be a happy person. |

The poster that said gold can only goes up forgets that over 20 years ago gold hit $850 an ounce and took over 20 years to reach that level again. Nothing is guaranteed to go up forever. I like oil because one day we will run out of it. Unlike gold (which we recycle and over 95% of all that was ever mined is still in circulation) we burn up our oil supply every day. The supply of gold is forever increasing while the supplly of oil is continually being burned up. Think about that. My favorite oil stock is Marathon (MRO). |

The 14 year old may be on to something. Don't listen to those of us who are financial advisors trying to get your business. Go to your local Merrill Lynch or who ever and speak with an advisor. Use caution and don't reveal what you have up front. Ask questions geared towards long term. Try to understand what the advisor does for his/her clients and what type of investing the adivsor utalizes in his/her practice. We all use different products so a one size fits all solution should be avoided. Hope that helps... |

The 3 most important things to consider are:1) your own personal risk tolerance-how much risk your're willing to take-you have to be able to sleep at night! 2)how long a time you have that the money can stay invested before you absolutely need the money and 3)remember to diversify-have some money safe in CDs or Treasuries,and then other monies diversified into other securities-stocks,mutual funds,etfs,etc.
I worked 18 yrs with Schwab and that was the biggest problem I found-no diversification!For instance,people would have lots of garbage tech stocks and absolutely no international stocks.Meantime,that was exactly the wrong strategy! |

That is a very large sum of money to invest. May I suggest you be very conservative in your choices. There is no need to put your hard earned money at risk.
Your first option should be to fund fully a retirement account.
If you have done this, or you wish to wait on the retirement fund, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.
They are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.
The best part is you get solid annual returns from well-known, safe Blue Chip companies like: McDonalds, General Electric, Pfizer, Walmart, US Bancorp.......etc........
They are inexpensive to start and maintain, and your dividends are reinvested for free.
They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down.
Good Luck |

I would recommend people-to-people lending. It's a relatively new concept that can enable a substantial return on investment if you properly identify risk factors. ROI can easily be maintained around 10%, with little to no correlation to the stock market. Follow the links below to see for yourself, and get more information. Basically you loan money to people like a bank does. Not convinced? Banks and underwriters are in business because they make money from loans, and lots of it, and these are some of the wealthiest people in the world.
As a lender, it works kind of like e-bay. You identify listings (borrowers), and view their financial information. You see their credit score, income, current debt load, etc., and use this information to decide if you want to bid on the loan. When bidding, you simply enter the lowest possible interest rate your willing to give to that individual and bidding proceeds until the loan is fully funded (or not). Loans are always over a 3 year period, and they provide all of the loan servicing and collection services having that cost built into the borrower’s service fee.
The nice thing about it is you can perform detailed historical analysis of all loans serviced through the system, using factors such as credit grade, employment history and income, along with other information that a bank uses when you get a conventional loan. This allows you to identify only the best loans, and see the expected ROI associated with only the criteria you are interested in. Also, it’s a great way to borrow money. If you’re looking to fund a business startup or other venture this is a good place to start and get a competitive rate.
This is a really cool concept that I would definitely recommend that you at least research further through their website. Use their historical performance tool to see the results for yourself.

well, how long to you want the cash to be invested?
CD interest is extremely low right now and you get at 1099int that will be taxable.
would you consider a variable annuity that would pay 5% garanteed minimum with an option to collect on investment returns? There is only a 10% access to the money per year but that is still $15K per year. After 4 years the restrictions come off. This is exactly what my parents did with their $250K a few years ago but the return has surpassed tehe 5% so they are happy and with the market latley they are not worried.
did I mention they do not get a 1099? Huge for people who still have higher income.
What state are you in? I may be allowed to advise you in this. |
