For how long? A few months, a few years, or for a long time? For a few months--t-bills can't be beat. For a long time--a broad selection of index funds will give you a good return. For a few years--that is a difficult question to answer.

Depends on your knowledge and skill at investing, and the amount of time you want to put into it. Since you're asking here, I'd say all rate low.
I'd go find a for-fee investment adviser. You'll spend maybe $300-500 for his services, but you'll probably get unbiased professional advice. The "for fee" part is important. Many investment advisers will be happy to do this for free. But they'll steer you into investments where they earn a commission. And those may not be as good for you as they are for them.

It depends on many things. You may qualify for a tax incentive program if you reinvest within a specified imeframe. There are many investment opportunities that present themselves daily. You need to be a little more specific on what you want to accomplish short term and long term.
Straight investment with after tax dollars is one thing and tax deferral is another

It depends. Do you need income now? Does possible capital growth appear important? If I had no immediate need for either income or to draw on the capital, I'd buy equities -- either common stocks or a real estate investment trust. My REIT shares (which are in a tax-free retirement account because they pay dividends) have done well.

I just finished reading "little blue book that beats the market" by joel greenblatt. That is all u needed to get started. Buy it and read it and implement the strategies used in that book. You will be rich in 10 to 15 yrs. Buy that book from Amazon or other book stores.

Buy an index fund that tracks the S&P 500. Overtime, you will beat every broker who ever lived except maybe Warren Buffett

Purchase another house- those that are forclosed. You can fix it up and make it look beautiful and then put it on the market. It's like that TV show "Flip That House."
Or you can diversify and put it in some Roth IRA.
