Answer 2

You don't seem to understand that there is not one best investment for all people.

First of all, the expected return of almost all investments is less than rate charged on most credit cards.  Therefore if you had credit card debt (which you don't), your best investment would probably be paying of the credit card debt.  

The time you have to invest is very important criteria.  If you have ten years, investing in a good no-load mutual fund would be a very good investment.  It is highly likely to be much higher in ten years.  However, if you have one month to invest, a mutual fund is a stupid idea.  You have a good chance of losing money.

Since you don't give us good ideas on what your time horizon is, it's hard to give good advice.  Many good advisors  on this site will simply avoid answering your question.

Answer 3

What you should invest in depends on many factors, including risk tolerance, goals for the money, time horizon, current debt (amount and type, high yield credit card?  pay it off) etc.  so no one can "properly" answer this question without more information.

Answer 4

a high yield cd.  Don't be so eager to gamble all your money away in stocks & real estate.

General Electric and Mcdonald's stocks

Answer 6

The first thing you should do is educate yourself about the facets of investing. Once you have done that, you need identify what are your goals for trading. In other words, you need to develop a personal trade plan.

A trade plan defines where you are, where you want to be and how you will get there. The importance of a trade plan is it takes the emotions out of trading. It's a system you develop according to your risk level. You are no longer trying to trade the entire market. Instead you focus on select patterns and indicators to leverage opportunities in the market.
