Put 1/3 into a CD account for emergencies.
Put another 1/3 into an index trucking fund
Put the other 1/3 into a good fund investing in BRIC (Brazil,Russia, India, China). These are the fastest growing countries.

Like another solutions, i'd additionally propose getting a CD, seem into your community city and spot if all people is offering specific costs, some ought to get a 4% return. Chase financial company as an occasion is offering a 60 month CD for 4%.

If your only looking for a 5 year time horizon, then you should keep it pretty liquid..my advice is get a 5 year CD or turn over the CD's in shorter time periods...Right now they are making a good return of over 5 or 6% a year...so due to timing, I would suggest a CD or money market account...if you were talking about a longer time period...like for retirement. ROTH IRA, if you qualify.

With a 5 year time horizon I would suggest CDs with a 6 month to 1 year maturity. You will probably get about the same return as anything else, with less risk.

If you're *seriously* not going to touch the money for 5 years, you can't beat the returns of the stocks. I like developed foreign economies, namely continental Europe and Japan. Some ETFs to look at are: EFA, EWJ, FEZ, and EEM. Keep your exposure to US stocks minimal. 20-25% in cash is smart (if you don't already have some set aside).

At the way things are looking, I think I would look into Apple Computers, they are steadily climbing over the years. More and more people are switching to a Mac. Their technology is getting faster and better every year and passing beyond the standards of Microsoft.
