unKannyvalley | I need ideas about how to invest $5000? |
Be specific! Don't say 'stock market,' rather, give me specific stock ideas. Don't say 'mutual funds,' rather, give me a specific fund idea. Don't say 'CD's' or 'high-yield bank accounts because my risk tolerance is higher than those petty, safe 5%-6% yields. |

Do you know how to analyze individual stocks and study them? If you do, please update your question and I can give you a whole list for you to START your RESEARCH.
Otherwise, the simplest method is an all ETF portfolio (exchange traded fund, usually indexed mutual funds that trade like stocks. You buy and sell them (pay commissions) just like regular stocks).
Example: 4 equal positions in:
1. SPY -- S&P 500 ETF (US Large companies).
2. IWM -- Small Cap US ETF
3. EFA -- Developed International Market ETF (Japan, Australia, Europe)
4. EEM -- Emerging markets ETF (Taiwan, Korea, China, Mexico, Brazil, India, Russia)
Reinvest your dividends. Just buy and hold these and you only need to look into them once every year or once every half a year.
The expense ratio is very small, and most of the time, managed mutual funds underperform their benchmarks anyway.
So ETFs are a simple way to go. |

I would suggest freedomrocks.com. The people who followed the program last year made 220% return on their money(there is no guarantee it will stay at that but its up a lot this year as well). It trades foreign exchange currency but its built on the hedge concept. It also leverages your money 400:1. So if you have 1000 dollars your investing its like 400,000 on the market and you gain interest on that 400k. You can try it out for 2 weeks with fake money and you will see how great it is. If someone averages 12 percent a month on 5k for 6 years it will be 19 million dollars. The opportunity in this program is beyond what I thought possible. There is a video to watch on the link below. All the people I talk to who follow this strategy have amazing things to say about it.

Give it to the most liberal man you can find who is running for office. As it is your money is yours only as long as you win this round of conservative musical chairs; the judges are seizing money and business rights left and right; they create slaves. |

Take a look at Prosper, you can make microloans to other Americans in increments as little as $50. It's worked great for me. By spreading your money around among different borrowers you mitigate your risk and get a high rate of return. http://www.prosper.com/join/USChoice |

I really like OYOG - they make 3d-seismic equipment that lets oil companies get more oil out of their oil fields. Here is the latest on the company:

I also like ZOLT - they make carbon fiber, used in wind turbine blades. Here is the latest on ZOLT:

Stock market. Mutual fund (just one, if you have only $5000).
Go to Charles Schwab. Open a brokerage account, that you can access through the internet. Go to their "OneSource" mutual fund list. Pick a mutual fund that is of the "small cap value" variety that's on that list. Just remember, your money is going to be tied up for a minimum of 180 days.
Also: I think that "small cap value" will do well in the upcoming 180 days. I could be wrong! |

Open an account on http://www.prosper.com and then start reading profiles of people seeking loans. They'll pay high interest rates.... often over 20%. You'll reap the benefits. But, you need to read closely. It's possible some of them may default. But, that's where the risk is. And, you can mitigate that risk by spreading your money loans across many borrowers. |

I would look at doing a series of Fidelity Select Mutual Funds. They have a historically moderate risk and return, between 10-13% annual.
I would concentrate on four, and spread the $5K

If you don't want to sit down and spend half your life analyzing stocks, I'd recommend exchange traded funds (and yes specific examples follow.)
The simplest thing you can do is to park your cash into an S&P 500 index fund. You own 500 stocks without having to do anything, and should pull a nice 10-12% return over time. The iShares fund (IVV) and the SPDR fund (SPY) both have tiny expense ratios and thus make great core holdings.
Personally I also think that the biotech sector is quite undervalued, so you might consider IBB. If you want individual stocks, try Genentech (DNA), or Best Buy (BBY), or, if you're feeling adventurous, Palomar Medical (PMTI) or an interesting little company called Synomyx (SNMX). Note please do your own research into them and don't buy shares just because I said so. I may be dead wrong. |
