Any good tips on investments?

My friends mothers has died and left her 拢140000 .We are trying to work out the best way to invest this and have some income any one got some good advice .

First, avoid making a rushed decision. Put the money in a CD or savings account. Interest rates aren't high, but you can earn a little while making long term plans. I believe that for the next 6 to 12 months the stock market is going to be very risky. Since you are looking for income, caution should be paramount.

Then do one of two things. If your friend wants to make his/her own investment decisions, spend some time studying investing and the markets. Investing requires work if you want to do it successfully. The easiest route would be broad based ETFs or mutual funds.

The other option is talk to an investment adviser and see what they recommend. Check with coworkers, friends, banker for recommendations. I would suggest talking to several before making a selection.

Good luck.
