I've got an extra $50K to invest right now. Any ideas?

I am already heavily invested in agressive mutual funds and individual stocks. Just looking for other ideas or stocks I can research.

microsoft
I invested $6000...in 8 months $90,0000

Since you are already in an aggressive portfolio, try some 30yr bonds. One of my personal favorite stocks, is PepsiCo. (not the bottling part) and EA sports. Anheiser is another good one.

Buy up the oil stocks Murphy oil has big strike, Exxon, Armada Hess and Conaco Phillips.

S&P index fund

buy infy (infosys tech)

Leverage that money against real estate with $50k you can buy $500k in real estate. If you buy cash flowing properties you will see a residual income stream, plus appreciation.

50K to invest:

20K -- I would get a CD at a bank. Right now they yield about 5.5-6%

10K - China Unicom (CHL). Nice divvy (4%) in a growing country. A play on both the China economy boom and growing cell business. Adding a ton of new suscribers a month. Industry leader.

5K - Nidec (NJ). Great management and growing both organically and by aquisitions. Make small motors that go into Ipods and small electronics. Business is growing due to the demand for smaller electronics. Great contracts with other companies make this one a good buy here.

5K -- Yahoo (YHOO). Still a dominant player in the internet space. Generates lots of cash and not too much debt. Should get stronger.

5K -- ConocoPhillips (COP). Reccomended on virtually every stock show. Good play with oil going higer. Foward P/E of 7.55. Great upside.

5K -- Pay off all credit card and car debt. Paying off debt is always good!!

I like the alternative energy stocks, like ENER and GCTAF. I think as global warming becomes more of an issue people will look to new solutions and these companies will benefit.

Hi,

Since you already have invested some amount why don't you try to trade online? Yes, it is risky way but also very profitable.

I could introduce you to one Austrian brokerage company that allows to trade from same account currency pairs (forex), commodities, metals and cfd on shares. Spread from 1 pip.
If you open trading account under my referral I provide you with trading techniques that I successfully use for several years.

If you are interesting pm or e-mail me (press on my name) and I provide you with further details.

Good luck!

Dear American First,

With $50K to invest, one option that you may consider is Swiss Cash. Unlike traditional mutual funds, Swiss Cash gives investors guaranteed capital and guaranteed returns on their investment. Investors in the fund are guaranteed against any capital loss and guaranteed returns of 20 % a month on their investment. The guarantee comes from the asset management company for the fund; SMF International Limited. I have personally invested in Swiss Cash US Dollars 10,000 for the past 1 year. Every month, my returns are paid on time. Since investing in the fund, i have re-invested my monthly returns in the fund. At the end of 27 months, my initial investment plus my re-investments of the monthly returns would grow my money to US Dollars 1 million. More information on the fund can be obtained from the following website : -
