Answer 3

I would put it in Mutual Funds (it is a large variety of stocks)

and play with a little and buy stocks that I think will do well....

Definitly open an IRA for your future, and max that out for this year and put some $$ aside to put in future years.

if you have lots more where that came from, I would consider an Annuity... (but onlyif  you don't really need it)

Good luck, don't blow it on an expensive new car that will not hold its value, buy a classic and baby it for the rest of your life and enjoy.

Answer 5

1. Yes, stocks are risky.  If you need to ask that, then you are probably not ready for stocks.

2.  Nowadays banks don't pay as much as 5%.

3.  Since it sounds like you are a beginner, put it in a money market account, which has minimal risk.

Answer 6

Invest In ETF's: ETFs are cheaper than mutual funds. ETFs have very low annual expenses, nearly 20 basis points or 0.2% less. As against this, actively managed mutual funds show average expenses exceeding 135 basis points (1.35%). This does not include the extra 2% - 5% as loads, 12(b)-1 marketing fees, transactions costs, and soft dollar expenses mutual funds, passed on to you but never informed, except in very fine print that nobody cares to read.

ETFs have a lower turnover than most mutual funds. As ETFs do not require active management and hold nearly a steady stream of stocks, there is hardly any portfolio turnover. On the other hand, many actively managed mutual funds churn their portfolio many times throughout the year, leading to recurring transaction fees on every purchase and sale.
