I have a 10,000$ i want to invest that money so which assets give me good returns and how much?

What do you mean by good returns? Drop me a line.

It depends on what you want the investment to do for you.

If you are looking for a safe, long term investment with a reliable growth rate, putthe money in a good bank CD.

If you can afford to lose the money, try stocks for larger growth potential.

If you're investing for retirement, try a 401k or a ROTH IRA.

If you want to invest it in a way tha gives you assetts that appreciate with time, use it as a down payment on a house.

There are so many ways to invest. If you are unsure of your goals, perhaps you should meet with a qualified financial planner.

Or watch the Suze Orman Show on CNBC. Great show with lots of personal finance and investment advice. www.suzeorman.com

If you're thinking of buying stock, go with Loews. Lot of people modifying and fixing up their homes nowadays, what with the real estate bubble.

K if you want the safest and easy access to your money. www.hsbcdirect is an online saving account give 4.8 tha is FDIC insured. If you want higher risk and more return i would go with a Roth IRA if you dont already have one since it is tax free growth when you retire. If this is more short term go with a vanguard 500 Index fund. Their expense ratios are very low and have gained 12 % since inseption in 1976.

Investing your money in stocks give you the 'best' returns, if you can afford the risk. Try out Motley Fool's 13 steps to investing. They put very thoughtful guidlines in there to make sure you can even handle such a big investment compared to your financial health. Here's a link http://www.fool.com/school.htm?ref=G02A0...

If you like the site, and feel comfortable with the co-founders, join the Fools. They have different subscription investment programs that will help you pick the best stocks for your investment style.

check out bobbrinker.com ... suze orman is ok, but she is more geared towards idiots who can't control the spending. most of what she preaches about investing seems to be a rip off from bobbrinker.com

good luck, don't invest it until you read and learn. a money market account at 4% while you learn is a good place to park it. vanguard.com

If you are new and want to start investing I recommend that you look at Equity Indexed investments. There are several out there that protect your principal against any market loss and some even pay you a bonus on the money you invest. I use and recommend the Midland Life Equity Indexed Annuity...don鈥檛 be fooled by the name is a Roth IRA.

Hope this helps.
