Depending on what you mean by "good returns," you might want to investigate dividend-yielding stocks such as utilities or real estate investment trusts (REITs), or look to the bond market.  Stocks normally pay dividends quarterly, bonds semi-annually.

good is a very relative term, depends on the individual. Reliable woould really never go with stocks. No stock is guarenteed to maintain value. Generally big comapnies like GE, Boeing, IBM, Catterpillar, ALCOA are generally good. However, if you look at returns, stocks like GOOG, Starbucks, etc are great

CD is well known to be the safest investing instrument, but it's safe only if US dollar (or whatever your currency is) doesn't crash. However, given the current trend in US dollar, I am not too optimistic about that.\n\nAll other investment vehicles have varying degree of risk. If you have never invested before, I don't recommend any but suggest that you should spend at least a year to learn about investing before actually doing it. You can begin by reading books and articles from the www.richdad.com and www.investopedia.com. \n\nAnother thing I would like you to understand - If you don't accept any risk, why should you be awarded with any gain? The real idea about investing isn't to avoid risk, but to take limited, calculated risk for potential gain that's (very) likely to be at least a few times more than what you risk. To do that, educating yourself is of primary importance. If you can't accept any risk, or want not to spend time on learning how to, you should not invest.

A mutual fund is your best bet.  Remember that "quick" money means risky when it comes to investing.  Better to go slow and not lose your money.

If you don't know, then no.  Single-stock investment really works best with thorough due diligence and a match of that company to your investment strategy (are you a value investor, playing short-term cycles, etc.)  \n\nEvery person I know that makes money consistently in direct stock investment do so because of thorough understanding of their risks, companies they're working with, etc.

Buy a diversified series of mutual funds. Individual stocks are just way too risky in most cases, especially for novice investors, even if they look like a sure thing.  How are Enron and Worldcom doing right now?\n\nMake sure you hit all the assets classes, like Large cap stocks, small/mid cap stocks, international stocks, emerging markets stocks, government debt, corporate debt, hi-yield debt, foreign debt, emerging markets debt, real estate, commodities, and precious metals. That's 12 categories right there, so let's say you get started with with $1200, you're talking about $100 each. \n\nThen sit back and rebalance each year, back to your original percentages. This is called asset allocation. The thinking being, what's BEEN hot is more than likely not going to STAY hot. All markets, after all, are cyclical.  This is why people who invest their 401(k) by just putting in whatever's had the most recent best numbers never get anywhere--they're investig in something that DID will and IS probably NOT doing well.\n\nThis sort of portfolio should average 8-12% per year, so just split the difference and say 10%. Will it do 10% EVERY year? Of course not. I'd be surprised if it ever did EXACTLY 10%. That's an annual average. With that average, your money should double roughly every 7 years. \nSo, in 7 years you should have about $2,000\nin 14 years you should have about $4,000\nin 21 years you should have about $8,000\nin 28 years you should have about $16,000\nin 35 years you should have about $32,000\nin 42 years you should have about $64,000\nin 49 years you should have about $128,000\nin 56 years you should have about $256,000\nin 63 years you should have about $512,000\nin 70 years you should have about $1,024,000!\n\nOf course, if you keep adding money in, say $100 a month, you'll become a millionaire MUCH sooner. The key is discipline, and sticking in when markets are up OR down. Don't try to time the market--you'll NEVER get it right.\n\nHere's a handy formula:\n\n$100/month x 12% retutn x 20 years = $100,000.  \n\nSo if you invest $300 a month, you can expect to have $300,000 or so in 20 years, depending on what return you get.  And remember, even if you stop there, that money itself will double again in 7-10 years, depending.  Then double again.  Then double again.  You get the idea.\n\nIn short, you can make a HELL of a lot of money, with a small output on your part, if you do it right, and are patient.\n\nOh, and if you qualify, and do this all in a Roth IRA? Then every penny will be 100% TAX-FREE. That's a deal that's too good to pass up. That's why I tell all my under-30 clients--if you make under $90,000, and therefore qualify to do a Roth, you'd be a fool not to. Just having the power of youth (and therefore time) on your side is such an advantage, to squander it would be such a waste!\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.\n\nP.S. The previous answerer's advice about contacting Edward Jones is gold.  I would go to their website at www.edwardjones.com, enter your zip code, and find the closest office to you.  Chances are there's one within 10 miles.  They have 10,000 office in the US, UK, and Canada.  And they will take care of you right if you decide you don't want to go it alone.

For us little people, I find the best way to invest is with no-load mutual fund accounts.  That way there are no charges or fees either up front or when you eventually sell out.  Also professional managers take care of the investing and do much better than we could ever do.  Second, I find the best way is to make the investment LONG TERM, let it sit no matter and over time I have found my investments always do well.  May I suggest a conservative long time company:  Lord Abbett Affiliated Fund has been excellent for me.

Talk to your bank about investing in a mutual fund. Ask for high growth and moderate risk. The reason I suggest this is because it is obvious you know little or nothing of investing, this is what I would buy. You wont see the kind of returns on any other unmanaged investment.\n\nBest Wishes

it depends if you are going to invest it take the up front. your opportunity cost of not getting even the modest 3.5% gain from a CD would be worth the getting the 4mil up front. if you plan or know your going to go nuts take the over time so at least you cant blow it all at once

Honestly if you are looking at investments look at some mutual funds. They will be one of the best choices for you. They allow you to basically invest in mutiple companies without having to have lots of cash on hand. A lot about investing does deal with your risk tolerance so make sure it is something you are comfortable with and whatever you do just let it sit in your investment so it can grow. If it's in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds remember markets go up and down. But over time you are virtually guaranteed to make a return greater than that of a cd. By the way the thing with the CD is great, but it barely outpaces inflation. If it doesn't beat inflation in essence you are losing money.

I agree with common sense, you should pick a well diversified portfolio and stick with it.  Many studies show that when people start switching in and out of investments, they actually make less in the long run because you will end up missing on some of the highest returns, there is no way of knowing then the highest returns will come about, the only way to guarantee them is to stay invested permanently.  market timing rarely works in the long run, you need a Crystal ball to be successful, plus this means buying stocks when they are doing badly and selling then they are doing well, and people always want to do the opposite.   If you are chasing a hot stock and jumping on the bandwagon, chances are you've already missed the boat.

I think the best way to invest is to first see what the best traders are buying and selling.  Then use that knowledge to hopefully improve your portfolio's return.  This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money.  Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors.  You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas.\n\nHere are this month's best traders:\n\nhttp://www.top10traders.com/Top10Standings.aspx\n\nGood luck.

If you are trading on a regular basis then Investors Business Daily is essential.  However, if you are trading on a regular basis then you need to be spending a great deal of time doing research and therefore you need access to other sources as well.\n\nWall Street Journal, Financial Times, Business Week, Forbes, INC., FastCompany as well as research through your broker from the major research houses are must readings.

Count up the money you have. Go to work and save that amount in 12 months. Within a year your money will have doubled, guaranteed.\n\nI've doubled money in far less than a year, but it entailed significant risk. More important to me is to hang on to what I have, save more, and achieve a return of 15% or more every year. I do this by researching and investing in quality stocks of companies that produce hard commodities (oil and mining companies).\n\nBest of success.

It depends. You would have to work out the interest rates to see which one will yield you the most money. My guess is that the daily compounded cd will yield the most. Go to http://www.finaid.org/calculators/scripts/compoundinterest.cgi to see what will yield the most over the time period you need.
