  1. Real Estate- for the future. I would keep buying houses and sell them.
  2. If i were you i would put some of it into a bank account, and the other into stocks. and may i suggest that you put your money into health care stocks- (most people from the "Baby Boom" are retiring and will need healthcare so invest in a company
  3. Well, if you are really serious go to cnbc.com they have a fantasy stock game. So you can see how well you do in stock
  4. I would invest if in a business. Most definitely. You know how much you can do with a business. A lot.
  5. I'd invest in those weather futures that are starting to get popular.
  6. That all depends on what your strengths are and where your interest lies. Are you familiar with investment opportunities? And if you are... are you a risk taker or do you play it safe? I'm from NYC; so 100,000 is not a lot of money. But first and foremost I would pay myself 10-15% percent and put it in my savings account. Then I would pay off all high-interest credit card debt. Then I more than likely I would start an e-commerce business or take some seminars on investing in stock and then invest in stocks online. Real Estate is a viable option for people who are in a market that is less voilatile, less astronomical, and less aggressive than the NYC.... M.
  7. Hey Hector: First, open a brokerage acount. then buy iShares. $40,000 S&P index $20,000 bonds $10,000 midcap (IWR) $10,000 small cap (IWM) $10,000 international (EFA) $10,000 emerging markets (EEM) Nice, balanced portfolio with enough volatility to keep you interested. Check it every three months and rebalance, sell winners and buy losers to stay in balance.
  8. I'd definetly go with real estate. Depending on your location, you could pay downs on as many as 5 homes, a down on a quad or more, just depends. Just remember that your tenants are paying your mortgage payment/payments for you. (Escrow your taxes and insurance for ease to you) So, if you can profit $50-$100 a month off of single family homes or have one side of a duplex total profit or 2 apartments of a quad be profitable., this brings income to you monthly. Then you have apprecation in your property and equity you build up with principle payments applied. Depreciation with taxes, too! I belive in financing for 30 years, this gives you a lower monthly payment which is easier to cover if there is a tough time. You can always pay more. An interesting thing that most people don't relize is that starting from your first payment, if you look at your statement every month and apply to your monthly payment the principle you paid for that month it knocks of 1 month at the end of your loan every time you do that. So, you could still pay it off in 15 years but you wouldn't be obligated to 15. Ex: Mortgage: $635.00 $500 Interest $135.00 Principle Pay 635.00 + 135.00=$770.00 for an addtional $135.00 you knocked off 1 month at the end of your loan and saved yourself $500.00 interest if not more.
  9. I would putsome to my small on line store and then try and help others out that need money to i would invest the money i have left over to try and make more money. I hope this helps. Bill
  10. That depends on what you've already done financially. Here's the order of priority for me: 1. Max Roth IRA and get 401k match. 2. Fund emergency account ($10,000 or 6 months worth of expenses, whichever is higher). 3. Save 20% for downpayment on a home--then buy a home. 4. Max all retirement accounts. 5. Put money aside for other goals--car, furniture, kids' college, etc. 6. Then start accumulating money to invest in real estate, businesses, etc.
  11. Real estate or share market
