I would certainly invest in the stock market.  I think the best way to find good investment ideas is to look at what the best traders are buying.  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\n\nGood luck!

I'm not in a class where this is small change but it wouldn't change my life if $5,000 appeared.  With my aggressive stocks and mutual funds, I make or lose that much several days of the year.\n\nIf I could have it April 12 and the market is up, I'd buy the emerging markets exchange-traded fund with the symbol EEM (I think that's an ishares ETF).  I might buy on margin in real life.\n\nIf I'm supposed to spend it I'd replace our front door and redo the entryway.\n\nIf I'm supposed to do something wild I'd buy a small windmill so I could generate electricity.  Partly to reduce our electric bills but mainly because it's the right thing to do.

I would take it over the 30 year period. You get more and you know you'll be set for at least 30 years...so you don't go crazy and spend everything within the first year. \n\nFirst, I would get a layer, financial advisor, a very nice house and a car. Then give some to my parents and grandparents, charitable causes and invest the rest. \n\nThen I would travel to the United Kingdom, Europe, Austalia and make my own archaeology excavation in Egypt. Well, that's what I would do.

Lump sum, cuz I could invest it how I want.

I would make sure my college education was paid for, and I would buy my parents a nice house because they have done so much for me so far.  Then my boyfriend and I would move to Scotland and I would put the rest in the bank and collect interest.

Open a bond...some banks offer 6% interest and that would be a great extra income ( around £300 per month )...

While the luxury car would probably be more immediate fun...the money I could make from a decent investment property would be a better investment.  Plus, the return on my investment would help me get that luxury car eventually.

Looking around, 5.05% seems to be the going rate on that kind of money in a savings account (Abbey, Britannia etc offer it)\n\nThis comes to £50,500 a year, or £4200 a month, or £968.49 a week, or £138.36 a day! You could live off it comfortably!

I would buy a house. I would do this because I would love to own my own home and would make sure it is medium size( nothing fancy) with lots of trees and maybe a big yard that I could let my dogs run free in.

Use the $1,500 to invest in something, i.e. lawn mowers, snow blowers, etc., that you can turn around and use to make even more money.

If you invest $14,600,000,000 in a savings account that pays 2.5% annual interest, compounded daily, you will have earned $1,000,000 in interest in one day.\nAlternatively, you could ask one million people for a dollar each, or 10 million people for a dime each, or 100 million people for a penny each.  Personally, I'd go with the penny.

Blimey...there is certainly more to you that meets the eye isn't there Mr Raidehz??!! Am completely ignorant on all things business/stock etc...so have to compliment you as I'm sure its all pukka..what you says sounds completely confident and from someone who really knows his stuff...\nSo - a question for you: If I had @ £10,000 to invest, what is the best thing for me to invest it in right now to virtually guarantee good payback within a relatively short timespan......?

Assuming that you're in the UK there's a few options - just save in a regular account, put money into an ISA each year, or go for an endowment product - you pay a monthly premium and it pays out a lump sum after a set period (the monthly premium and the period of the plan depends on the size of lump sum you need).  This type of investment will depend on stock market movements so you might not get back as much as you think.\n\nAnother option is a friendly society bond - you can put up to £25 a month away over ten years tax free.  Try looking at a company like Scottish Friendly.
