Answer 1

You might want to create a "practice" portfolio at http://www.top10traders.com - it's free - each month the site ranks the best performing investors - you can see the stocks that the best traders are buying and selling.

Answer 2

Do it,

But I suggest you read a few books before you get started. There are many companies you can invest it. This year alone, 12 of the 15 mega cap companies returned between 3-25% annually. So you can do that pretty easy. Also if you have that much money to use, you should look into oil stocks. The large companies will continue to do well, but youre a gambler, so you would want to go after the smaller companies like MGUY, and others. They are cheaply priced but can create good returns. BX is on the rebound now, so getting that on monday would be smart.

I subscribe to tradingzoom, you should do that too. You have to weed out the junk, but for the most part I have made about 10% a month in returns using their advice. Its just picking and choosing and a lot of luck.

Now think about it, if you had 100K, would you spend it on something you know nothing about? You might as well learn as much as you can before you begin, or you can just give the money away.

Answer 3

You should have a diversified portfolio. The more diverse your portfolio is the less you have to rely on 1 or 2 stocks to go up and down. Invest atleast 10% in a mutual fund and another 10% in the bond market. Invest another 10% in high risk stock(such as start up business). Another 20% should go into low risk stock that will steadily increase over time(big companys). Since your a gambler type, the rest should in whatever company you think will profit in the future. This way your money will last longer, and you may even make money. If you don't invest in any guaranteed enterprises you won't have a backbone to fall back on if you inccur any losses. Hope that helped.

Answer 4

Years ago I rolled over my 401K about 2500.00 and invested. 18 months later, I sold and walked away with 12,000. Took the money and ran. Eventually, squared up w/ the IRS. I don't know if I would invest in the market right now. So, what to do? If not there, than where or what? There are some good buys out there but it's hard to know if the data you are looking at is really true.

Answer 5

Reverse convertables !!! you can get a yeild of 9-30% returns on an annualized basis. The mautities are 3,6,9 and 12 months.

Answer 6

Invest it in the alan_has_bean corporation. Remember, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Not FDIC insured. May lose value.

Answer 7

You must be kidding. I hope you're very rich and this is a drop in the bucket for you. Otherwise you have a financial death wish.

What's worse;
Asking total strangers whose qualifications and motives can never be known by you.

Good luck with that!
