Standard investment advice is that you should invest in a diversified mix of stocks, bonds, and money market funds. If you are like most people you will invest part of your money aggressively in stocks, and part conservatively in money market funds and bond funds. However, some young people will go all stocks, and some very conservative people will go all money markets. The links below have on-line questionnaires which will give you an idea of how to do "Asset Allocation," determining how much to put in each type of investment.

You want to buy a diversified portfolio of stocks as individual stocks are too risky. Highly knowledgeable people can buy a properly balanced portfolio, but most folks have a difficult time balancing things on their own. They will misbalance their portfolio by buying all small stocks or all growth stocks, or some other misbalanced assortment of stocks. Back in 2000, Some people bought all internet stocks; they got burnt when they all crashed together. You have to diversify across industries. Unless you know what you are doing, it is best to buy mutual funds. Buy no-load, low cost funds. Mutual funds should have expense ratios of less than 0.5%.

If your company offers a 401K plan at work, try to invest the most you can. The money grows tax free, and some companies will match your contribution. Investing in a mutual fund IRA is also a good idea. If you have children, you may want to consider a 529 plan or other college savings plan that grows tax free.

I like index funds. Because of their broad diversification, you are less likely to have a dramatic drop in value. They also have the lowest expenses. For stock funds, I would suggest putting ~70-80% of your money in the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund. and ~20-30% in a foreign stock index fund. However, there are many different opinions out there on what the best mutual funds are. Read the links below and form your own opinion.

Buying a house instead of renting will save you a lot of money in the long run. You don't have to pay rent and you build equity in your house instead. Buying rental property can also be a good investment. However, being a landlord can be hard work, and many people are not good at it. If you don't know how to handle deadbeat renters, you can have trouble.

If you have high-interest debt, like credit cards, it is best to pay this off first before trying most of the investment ideas above. You should also have 3-6 months of salary saved up as an emergency fund in a bank or money market fund before trying more risky investments.

Believing advice you get on Yahoo answers can be risky, so read these websites for further information. If you find it too confusing, contact a professional financial advisor. They will charge you significant commissions, however.

Diversify your money into 3 or 4 , never put all money in one basket. i have invested over 100k in asset management , made 3% to 10% monthly, they have 5 years in market ,The trader have only the Power of Attorney and i can revoke it whenever i want and i watch the trader job 24 hours daily by platform online. i'm happy to make money with them safely. great and wonderful , take a look what i have shared with you.Recommended !

Think stocks!!! i made a good amount. Invest in a company that is down now and everyone is panicking about. Then buy it any more question add me.

You could open your own business that you know well. This way you control how much you make and you have something you can pass on to your children in the future.

chinese internet portal

look for sina, baidu, sohu, alibaba

might also consider Lehman Brother

rumors are strong, a Korean Bank might take a 25% stake for 5.6 billion and current market capitalization is only 11.5.

So what's the problem?
Open a high yield account in a bank in Europe. You will get a 12% APR with NO RISK. All deposits are insured by the government.
If you invest $40,000 for 5 years at 12% p.a., it would be worth $70,500 after 5 years .

I have opened such a high yield account 5 years ago.
Good luck!

Gold might be a good option these days.
