High quality munis is the way I'd go. You can get some decent yields with very little risk and many of them have out proformed the stock market over the last 2 years. Of course the best thing, if you're going to hold it atleast for a year, is to buy a few shares of a blue chip stock (my current pick is MS). If your going might need the money in less then a year then shop around for a CD.Originally posted by Mao
Hmmm...so bonds are the way to go then?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

MSFT doesn't have a really high yeild (0.34%)... Go with something like GM (5.67%)... I just CAG (3.97%) for my high yield stock...Comment

GM is going to sink an ever growing amount of money into new car incentives. Chrysler and Ford are already losing money and GM will soon follow if the incentive war doesn't ease. If you can afford the $1000 share price then Berkshire is always a sold performer.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

If he has US$500 then short term (>1 year) a CD, mid term 1-2 years) a bond, long term <2 years) a blue chip stock purchased online so as to avoid broker's fees.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

MS lost huge market cap in the last 3 years. If you want a tech stock, I'd rather go with Intel. Of course, Disney and such are also good bets.Originally posted by Oerdin

gold and other precious metals will ALWAYS have value... at least they have held value throughout recorded human history...
You cannot say the same about stocks, bonds, or cash. Those can go with teh government, which, you know, can go any time now...

I don't see why anyone should be excluded from knowing about investments.Originally posted by Ecthelion
a Jew who knows stuff about coins and gold, I'd never have thought I'd live to see the day
Personally if I was after a diamond I'd buy it tax free in Holland... but getting to Holland is no sweat from the UK.
Oh yeah, wearing coins. There's a whole lot of English soveriegns out there mounted on rings.
I wouldn't recommend them though, cause a lot of them are counterfeit (and I THINK the gold content of the genuine ones isn't that great).Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

Not really, because gold doesn't have any intrinsic value at all, unlike, say, iron.Originally posted by Kramerman

I always hear that fund managers underperform a random pick or the index itself. so what you should do is just bet opposite of the fund managers.Originally posted by Saras
Some Uni in US had a monkey pick stocks for 10 years. It outperformed 95% of fund managers

its an excellent conductor (actually, ive been taught contraictory stuff on this), thats why its used on satallites and other space craft and other things that need every edge they can get. but its too expensive to use commercially on a large scale.Originally posted by Urban Ranger

either way, your point is irrelevent to mine. I ws merely sayin its has had a pretty stable value for a very long time... a safe bet to invest in compared to stocks, bond, or curency. do you disagree? or are you just being disagreeable to make an arguement for the fun of it, like you so often do?"I bet Ikarus eats his own spunk..."
