Army girl | What is the best way to invest a 30,000$? |
I'm a soldier and I got a bounce about 30,000$. I don't know what to do with it. I'm thinking to put it in the saving account, but sometimes I think about invest it in a car dealer ship or real estate. What is your idea? Do you have a better one? I greatly appreciate all the help. |

Put it in a CD. You can't touch your money for a specific number of months, but the interest rate is MUCH higher than savings accounts. Some are as high as 5%.
You'd make about 2 grand every 6-8 months, and there's no chance of loosing your money like there is with the stock market, especially in todays economy. |

If I were young (under 45) and it was my money, I would:
(1) Put $10,000 in a Roth IRA at Vanguard.com investing in the Target Retirement fund for the year closest to the year I turn 67. Contributing $5000 before April 15, 2009 for LAST YEAR (2008) and another $5000 for the current tax year (2009). This will give you $10,000 in the fund and the IRA will then have no fees.
(2) Put $10,000 in an INGDirect savings account (money market account, basically, that is attached to your checking account). Now you have a rainy day fund for emergencies.
(3) If you plan on staying put for at least another 7 years, consider using the remaining $10,000 as a down payment on a modest house you can call your own. |

The answer Man's math is poor. $30K at 5% for a year would earn about $1500 total.
The best thing would be to get some professional advice. Does the Army (or whatever branch) have professional advisers available for you? If so, talk to them, and see what they see. If not - go find a certified financial planner who charges a fee for financial advice. They will look at your status, and give you advice on how to do this. You may pay $300-500, but it will be worth it, IMHO. There are registered advisers who will do this for free, but then they tell you to invest in funds that pay them a commission. You won't always get the best advice this way.
If it was me, I would diversify a bit. I would put some into index stock funds, say one that tracks the S&P 500, for example. Another might go into a real estate fund, and another chunk into an overseas index stock fund. But how much, and which funds are up to you to decide.
If you can't find a for-fee adviser, or you're short on time, then try to talk to an investment adviser from one of these companies:
TIAA-CREF
The Vanguard Group
Fidelity Investments
All are known for low-cost index funds. I am not an adviser for any of them, and not associated with 2 of them. One of them has my retirement account, but I won't tell you which. You pick which ones you want to use. And it's fine to use 2 or 3 or just one, if you want. |

To be safe in this market buy a bond or investment certificate. You won't lose on that. If you want to take an Equity stake I would suggest an ETF (exchange traded fund) which provides the best bang for your buck. You should maintain 100 - your age in bonds at a minimum. As for Real estate - historically down markets in RE last from 5 years to 15 years ... Therefore positive returns will be tough find. Car sales are very similar to housing, being a highly leveraged purchase dependant on income. I would pass.... |

As a soldier, I would guess that you're young. Like 20-something or less?
I would put it in an index fund, say, the 500 Index fund at Vanguard. The stock market is low now, but will recover eventually. The key is not to panic and pull the money out if the market goes down in the next year.
The government lent billions of dollars to GM, which are supposed to be paid back on March 31st. I don't see how, in anyone's wildest imagination, GM can come up with the money at that time. Who's buying cars, especially SUV's? I'd be too afraid to invest in a car dealership - survival over the short term will be difficult. If you want to play, you could put $1000 or so into Ford or GM stock, but realize, this is like betting on 32 in Las Vegas. Do it only for fun. If you win, you could win big, but if you lose, well, that's the expectation.
If you were older or nearer retirement, I would have suggested something more stable. |

It's a good time to buy stocks if you're confident that the economy will get better, because it's pretty bad right now.
Maybe put it into a savings account - see which banks have the highest interest rate.
I wouldn't invest in any businesses right now - the way the economy is going, people are spending less money, and stores and businesses are going bankrupt. |

If I will you, I may consider the idea given by roderick and MVD34. I will prefer more to MVD34 ideal cause his idea included your retirement plan and as well as to owned your own house which is the basic plan for any person in the world should do. For me, my local government had do lots of plan for our retirement, so we don't have worry much of it. |
