Interesting question... but what's interesting is that institutional investors invest far more than that in a single company. As for an individual willing to take on that risk, you see the answers written before mine. I'll suggest something else: Shufflemaster (SHFL).

There are closed end funds and index funds that are traded like stocks. Do those count? If so and if you were to force me to choose one in which I were forced to invest such a large amount into just one investment, then GAM would be my first choice. More of a risk but also more of a reward would be TDF followed by IIF. Those are the only choices for which I would feel comfortable dumping such a large amount.
If those are verboten, then BAC or MET pero el riesgo es mas que es necesario.

I am fairly new to investing, but I do know that you should NEVER put all your eggs in one basket. Hence the all too familiar phrase in investments, "diversify". Makes sense, don't forget the stock market is still a gamble of sorts.

I would say wal mart. They are up for the last three quarters and are going to take an aggressive stance on pricing so they should be up after the holidays.
If you want to take a risk look for an IPO in the few days and jump

I think for this question I wold go with google or sirius. Google if you want to make sure its secured. Sirius if you have some time. The only thing with Sirius its a fairly new company and the product they selling is also fairly new so its a bigger risk.

That's alot of money for one stock. Diversify, Diversify, or to make life easy, buy shares of ETF's (Exchange Traded Funds) via any discount broker. You get the diversification but you buy them in shares like any other stock.

I would never invest that much in ONE stock....I'd put it all in investment portfolio of various mutual funds, bonds, and a money market.
BUT...if it had to be ONE stock, then I'd say General Electric.

Off the top of my head - Nokia. Cell phones aren't going anywhere anytime soon and the MP3-enabled ones are going to give the iPod a run for its money.

Long term, definately General Electric.

To buy today and sell today, or to buy today and sell down the line.
Two VERY different scenarios.
If today, just for a day trade, I'd be in ICE.
Longer term, I'd be in NYX and hold it until it broke its trendline.
Good luck!
