It depends on how actively you will manage the investment.
If you want to just "set it and forget it" then you should consider a "target retirement" type mutual fund such as Vanguards Target Retirement 2035 fund. This fund currently allocates 76% of assets to stocks and 24% to bonds. The fund attempts to provide growth of capital and current income. It primarily invests in other Vanguard mutual funds and is intended for investors planning to retire within a few years of 2035. The allocation of stocks vs bonds becomes more conservative as time goes on.and it gives you good diversification of your investment.

International Investments. The stuff offered in the US is useless. The SEC has everything so regulated to keep us poor and we are blindly following their every whim without question. They have stupid rules like no us resident is allowed to trade options on foreign exchanges. Give me a break I knew the risk when I started investing, I don't need the SEC to tell me what I should or shouldn't do. The good thing with International Investments is with technology how it is the money is just as accessable as domestic accounts.

Real estate is a safe longterm investment. As far as the stock market goes, I would recommend a diversified portfolio. If you're not into the safety of diversification, exxon mobile is looking like a good bet right now. If the price of oil goes up (some peope are forecasting it to hit 100 dollars per barrel) - you'll make money. If the price of oil goes down, I think you'll still make money but not as much.

If you do not have knowledge of investing, the first thing you should invest in is your knowledge. Go to your library and check out several books on investing. Better yet, go to Amazon and order several. You can read the reviews on Amazon to see what people think of the books. One of my favorites is "Security Analysis" by Graham, Dodd, and Cottle. The classic on fundamental investing. Also get a book on technical investing.
"Investing for Dummies" is a good introductory text.

Exxon Mobil is cheap right now because the company believes oil is very overvalued and the price will fall significantly in the medium term. They are almost totally hedged against oil price changes.
Wall Street knows all about it & the price of Exxon is not going to change in response to changes in the oil price. The most you can hope for if you buy shares is that Exxon announces a special dividend for shareholders.

Real Estate and that too in a suburban area near some Cosmopolitan city.
I am sure in a long term it will become some Special Economic Zone(SeZ).
Mutual Funds is also an option but business cycle might affect your returns.

look for the underdeveloped countries.. places in Africa, but be careful cos where there is good money to be made there are people ready to cheat. Be smart and id say real estate never loses its value.
