The Best option is which one you know well from Bank/Gold/Shares/MF/RealEstates...
If you know about Gold, then thats the best.. It depends on your knowledge..
I prefer Gold and MF for a long run.. But Gold is not fully safe.. But Mutual Fund is safer than all the above..
Commodities and Shares share the same risk level.. but different knowledge level.. Both have High Risks and returns High rewards..
you cannt liquidate your money in Real Estates as you want.. you will need to wait untill you get better Biddings for your asset..
Always the Best for Everyone, whether a Beginner or Middler or an Experienced, is MUTUAL FUNDS>>>>>>
Choice is yours...
Do the Best !!!

Safe and Secure: Bank
Secure and Reliable: Land and Housing
Short Term Profits: Stock Trading
Long Term Profits: Stock and Real Estate
That's all there is to it. Risk and Reward are inversely proportional to each other.
Do ALL of the above, since that will save you from many headahes over the next 10-20-30-40 years.

If you have $50K to invest i would say you can afford more risk than a CD unless you are going to use it for college or to buy a house in 6 months. In those cases CD is a good investment vehicle. If you can afford to risk some then keep some in A CD and put some in a mutual fund or stock such as berkshire Hathaway B shares. you don't have to put all your eggs in the secure basket. With all due respect Helmut are you 15 years old and if so why are you answering investment questions.

Shares, land and mutual fund are out of question, since all of them have hit the roof in very short span of time. I would advice you to go for Gold, that too in bar form available through NCDEX and MCX. Gold stocks are depleting and mining will be done only for 15 more years.Analysts are predicting a price of 14000 per 10 gm within next year.Moreover you can hedge your investment in the commodity exchanges. As a result Gold seems to be a credible option for your investment.

For a long-term perspective I recommend subscribing (for free) to fullermoney.com, they are favourable farming land, gold and India.
However, I recommend this; that you buy property in your local area and rent it out. The reason is simple; Leverage. If you could go to your local bank and take out a 80% loan on any other investment they might be worthwhile. But if you could achieve an investment of just 20% in a property, then it's price would only need to rise 1/5th the rate of any other market for your return to be equal. (this assumes that your rent covers your mortgage).
Also, if property prices crash, it doesn't matter whilst it's rented, whereas if you borrow for stocks (normally possible for 50%) you have to pay mark-to-market and put down extra money (in the form of losses).
Almost everyone talks about how much money they made in their property, even though in any 20 year period returns between stocks and property are roughly the same. This is simply because of leverage. I work in the markets, make a lot of money and put it all in property.

As per current Indian economical scenario, real estate, particularly investment in the land is the best. Next is mutual fund. Don't go for stock market or gold as it is over booming now.

Very simple..BUY Common shares of Canadian banks, they are extremely profitable, they pay good dividends and are always raising them, and they operate as a monopoly...What else could you ask for under your terms of reference
