Unless you are an experienced investor, I would caution against individual stocks and get rich quick schemes. Reduce your risk and

check out Vanguard ( http://www.vanguard.com )

Now is an excellent time to put your money to work. Spread the risk by investing in a mutual fund (Vanguard's STAR is a fund of funds-a fund which buys shares in other funds-and therefore carries a lower risk) . It is comprised of 65% stocks and 35% bonds.

Make sure any high interest loans/credit cards are paid off and you have 2-3 months emergency cash before investing.

Vanguard is a low cost, no load mutual fund company. There are others; I have been with them for 30 years and retired early. Your results may vary.

Read the "Planning and Education" tab if you visti their website.

Good luck
