What is the best short term way to invest $50,000?

You could invest it in a money market account or a CD and make about $2500 in a year. If you'd like to make more than that, you have to take some risk. You could get the "Total Bond Market Fund" at Vanguard (code VBMFX) and probably make another $500 in a year. Or you could split it up amongst other index funds (a quarter each in VBMFX, VTSMX (the Total Stock Market Fund), VEXMX (the Extended Stock Market Fund) and VGTSX (the Total International Stock Fund)). The stocks have a higher typical return and taking four different broad funds mitigates some of the risk -- but you still could lose money. That combo is probably going to average 8 or 9%, but with a lot more year-to-year variation.

So pick a level of risk. if you're young and wouldn't be bankrupted if you lost a few thousand dollars, then I'd take risk. Contact Vanguard (or Fidelity, or Schwab) and they'll be more than happy to help you out.

Why would you want to invest $50,000 short term?

Sounds like you may need a financial advisor.

Don't try to invest $50,000 short term.

Find a multi-unit real estate property in a decent area that brings in rent steadily. Real estate always goes up.

Meanwhile, wait until you have professional advice/guidance.

Good luck!

I could tell you - but I would get violated.
(And not due to language or scams)

I couldn't tell you what the best way is for sure, but I personally would drop it all on as much silver bullion through goldmoney.com as possible. Silver itself has gained over 3-fold over the past 4 years. I am not a stock advisor or anything like it, but am a betting man. Go for it!

A safe way would be to put it into an interest-bearing savings account or a 3-month CD with an FDIC-insured banking institution. How short term?

Depend on how short you are talking about...

Usually we consider anything between1 year to 3 years as short-term if we are talking about investment.

For tax purpose, anything less than 12 months is short-term

And we see trading as short-term no matter which style of practice you will adopt.

But first of all, you should try to ask yourself a few questions before making any decision:

1. What exactly is your investment horizon...
2. What's the purpose of the this investment (goal)
3. How big of downside risk you can take...(how much you can lose at the end of the investment period
4. Do you feel comfortable if your investment will experience some large fluctuations during the investment period?
5. Is this all the money you have?

Depends on how you answer those questions...you will yield different answers... Let me know your answers and I will be able to further help you.


CommonCents
Look to an online bank, FDIC insured, that pays over 5% on liquid money. It pays more than most CD's today, without the funds tied up.

It's not really investing, it's just parking money and getting a totally safe return, without any risk to your principal.

Investing requires risk. You can get a much higher return OR you can lose principal.
Depends what your goals are.

Six months is your objective a short term certificate or money market account, Remember LOW RISK


hoodhoprox
how much risk do you want to incur? You could always do a cd or mutual fund, those would be between 6months to a year, not sure if that was short term to you or not.


easa3
The "best" is all relative. It really depends on what you are looking to accomplish and how much risk you are willing to take. And what is your definition of short term?


bettyboopgirl
3 or 6 month cd at area banks. search for a 5percent or higher for those terms.

Get a certificate of deposit from a bank. You should not be investing in anything more risky than that.
