Due to the uncertainty of investments and to avoid a major loss, one needs to diversify ones investments. At the moment, the U S stock market appears in a bearish trend. The world markets tend to be impacted by what happens in the U S so caution is called for currently.
Here is a plan to consider.
25% in t-bills for safety sake
15% in oil stocks but maybe more.
15% in Chinese stocks
15% in Indian stocks
15% in small cap stocks of promising companies
15% in a foreign government debt fund to offer some protection against falling value of the dollar.

well, here is the deal....to make money in the stock market, you have to have money. Take for instance, Apple stock APPL, it will open around 145 today. With $1000 you could buy 6 shares...if the stock doubles...you just make $870 (i doubt that it will double, given how crazy the economy has been) that being said, i would not put only $1000 in the stock market. Bonds, CD's, Funds will not make you money on $1000...they will make you money but you couldn’t buy a coffee and a muffin at starbucks with it. It just math, if you make 10% (which is good) in the market and only had $1000 in there…you would make $100…however, if you had $10,000, you would make $1,000. I don’t know how young you are but you will not like this answer, you should open a Roth IRA, put it in there and invest it into some mutual fund and forget about it until you are about 67 years old. $1000 today could mean $100,000 in 40 years. If you are interested in the stock market and want to learn about it, buy some cheap stocks and watch and learn. Some cheap heath or drug stocks like CRXX and SXCI are not bad (and risky) but they could drop as fast as you can blink your eye. Visa (V) also had an IPO this week and it is trading around $65…might be a good one to buy for a rainy day. Most likely you will lose most, if not all your money but if you actually learn how the market works…it might be worth it. Personally, I don't down any of the above stocks…they are just suggestions. However, I do own MOS,MON,FMCM,NLY and GOOG … yeah, buy yourself a good meal and take the rest and open an IRA hahaha good luck!

Investigate managed funds. This is where Funds management companies invest your money with a block group of other peoples money. You have the choice to divide your investments by percentage in high risk, meduim risk and low risk. For example, 30% property, 40% government bonds, 30% currency.

If I had a $100,000 and didn't need it, that means I'd be rich or well to do and in that case I wouldn't invest it, I'd donate it to the charties that I chose to support.
