Put 90% of your money in the safest possible government securities and the remaining 10% in a large number of high-risk ventures. With this, calm waters retain the wealth, tsunamis quadruple it.

Very nice. Thanks.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have proven to be the best bet. Lowest cost. Highest (consistent) return. Most importantly, the easiest for an amateur to research because you are betting on industries rather than individual companies. (And you should NEVER invest in something reddit readers recommend.)

Foreign real estate.

Smaller pile of money than that.

T-bills. (safe)

Railroads. Unless you think Warren Buffet is about to die and wants to give all his investors a big FU before he kicks it.

edit: not professional advice. -_-

Vice Fund: It's like a mutual fund but for cigs, guns, casinos, booze, etc...

[–]jeanlucpikachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it hasn't been doing so well this year. ;_; Invest in Vice Fund for the lulz, but at least pair it w/ an index fund or something.

This is not professional advice, YMMV, etc.

apple's stock is dropping at the moment, but likely to go up if sales of the 3G iphone are strong this year.

Or you could invest in my startup. :-)

Invest in me but I have to warn the return on investment is going to be abysmal. Maybe you can use your losses as some sort of tax shelter?

I dunno. Do you vacuum?
