Property investment is much more stable and sound, but the maintenance and up keep is a big responsibility.  The value still has a chance to go down.\n\nShare or stock investment is exciting but volatile where it will go up or drop flat.  Mutual Funds are between the two.  Bonds are below property investments.

Depends what your after?  I would suggest bonds as the 'safest' form of risky investment.  I know that makes no sense but speak to a highstreet bank - they abviously use finacial advisesers with considerable knowledge of the market to pick them a few investments.  In turn you get the opportunity to 'back' thoe investments with your own money - the back will take their cut of the top and leave you the rest.\n\nOtherwise a shortterm alternative would be premium bonds (although I think the max is £20k per person then if I remeber correctly every £100 essentialy buys you a lottery ticket - this Premium bonds lotrery takes place every month and although you don't make interest (hence only look at this a short term investment (unless your lucky!) you do stand the chance of winning between £50 and £1m a month...

Do both, keep money in both places, if last year you would have invested in the mexican bolsa you would have had more than 40% more money. And if they mis managed the economy and break it, the United States will come with a rescue package like Bill Clinton did in 1995, so your money is safe there.

Don't try to time the market.  There's a ton of money in the global financial market.  Just periodically invest by your asset allocation percentage.

Go with a 529.  Great tax advantages.  You can then pick from a ton of investment choices to place inside of the 529.  For more info - http://www.529s.com

Your best investment would depend on your goal for investing, tolerance for risk, time horizon (when you need the money back), any current income needs, and tax considerations

In a fore gone era, people could work at one company and retire with a comfortable retirement fund. Are the retirement plans of today as assured as those in the past? I will compare the old with the new and talk about how Cash Balance Plans improve retirement security for todays workers.

It depends on how risky you want to be.  Do you feel confident about your ability to play the stock market?  If so you could take a chunk and invest it there.  If you are more conservative then I would suggest an ING account or a CD with the highest return of investment.  Usually a 12 month CD will carry a higher return but you cannot access this money easily without paying a penalty.  So if you want a good return with access to your money either a money market or an ING account would probably work best.  Happy investing!

The best advice I can give you is to consult with a financial professional.  He can do a risk profile on you and help work with you to invest your money in a way that best suits your needs.

it depends on your age - if you are young and still working stock and bonds are very god but if you are older you ay want to keep a guaranteed return on investment such as CD's\nreal estate is up and down I dont recommend it

I think most financial advisors would say that is a fairly conservative long term investment. Specially if you are doing it through a mutual fund company like Vanguard which has pretty low expenses

SOME SAY IT IS NOT WORTH IT, PERSONALY MY OPINION IS IT IS WORTH INVESTMENT IN THE LONGER TERM. ALTHOUGH 'START UP' FEES AND COSTS ARE GREAT. THE COST ON THE ENVIOMENT IS ALSO LESS.

It depends on how much risk you want and how much you are hoping to gain. \n\nThe safest would be CDs. Check ingdirect.com, Their 18 month CDs are yielding about 4.5%\nhttp://home.ingdirect.com/products/products.asp?s=OrangeCD\n\nIf you are willing to take some risk you can invest it in mutual funds or even stocks. Investing in the market is more risky but can provide greater returns.

It seems to me that the best return on investment would be Physical Therapy.  The need for physical therapists would seem to grow as the population ages.  \nBiomedical engineering may offer a higher reward but the possibility of continued employment is lower. \nComputer science may be offshored and is somewhat stagnant right now. \n\nThe personal service professions -PT, nursing, medicine cannot be de-localized so positions will always be available where ever you may move.
