80k to invest. any ideas?

Schism · 10-17-2010, 11:44 PM

Just sold an old piece of property that's been in the family for years. What would you guys do with $80k? Id like to turn it into more money somehow.

~1~ · 10-17-2010, 11:50 PM

Gold

Xil · 10-17-2010, 11:53 PM

spend 50k on drugs to sell. save the other 30k for a lawyer.

Grieves · 10-17-2010, 11:55 PM

pay off your debt..then act as though you had never earned anything...then when you find your calling spend it on achieving it...

HTAM · 10-17-2010, 11:57 PM

Don't follow any of the suggestions posted here.

Except this one. And maybe buy some gold.

Captain Cannabis · 10-18-2010, 12:14 AM

go to school. you can buy some sweet education for 80k these days

Bearsy · 10-18-2010, 01:04 AM

Yeah I was gonna say school or land. Although I don't think "land" should be a commodity, it is and it makes a great investment if you choose the right spots. Maybe talk to a financial advisor.
Or you could just stick it all in a high-yield CD.

JcP · 10-18-2010, 01:54 AM

personally I'd invest in high tech/gaming stock....stuff like nintendo, apple, google, etc.

that, or with 80k I'd spend it on seeing the world. That's enough money to see pretty much the entire world in relative style.

Roach · 10-18-2010, 04:07 AM

since you sold the property in a depressed market you probably lost out on "that" investment.

I'd stay far away from stocks and land...particularly in America.

Wait until weapons stocks fall because of major cutbacks planned in near future...buy low.

You could safely invest in alternative energy companies (Wind) .

or, although solar technology is not quite up to par yet, perhaps a company that sells/installs residential or small business solar systems.

the fact that you come to yahooka's off topic section for financial advice and planning tells us you aren't ready for the real world

Don't put it into gold. Gold is in it's own bubble right now, fueled by economic worries about equities and real estate, coupled with an expanded supply of money. Just like in the early 1980's, the price will return to something more in line with reality once the unemployment rate shows signs of return to normal.

Also, coming to YaHooka for investment advice is like going to 4Chan for relationship advice. It's just not a good idea. If you're interested in investing your money, you need to start reading. Learn about and understand the markets, and the different investments available, before you put your money at risk. Too many people rely on "hot tips" and hunches when investing (especially in the stock market), and most of them end up broke.

The most important rule in anything which involves risk is to understand what you are doing.

Do not buy gold. Go to school, for something that you enjoy and that can't be exported to other countries.

If you are looking more to invest in stocks and bonds, etc. Maybe take a college course in that stuff or just do a bunch of research.
