If you had 100-200K to invest, looking for hi rate of return on investment, what would you recommend?

Looking for a frnachise opportunity, with the goal of starting with one, having 3 within 2 years, and building from there.

Sit on your cash for the next year. Former Fed Reserve Chair Greenspan still warns of recession.

There are several funds that are returning a good income right now --- OBCHX for example. Don't forget some sell-stops to protect your base.

Of course I'm a bit more conservative than many others here.

Good luck!

shares..

buy land for buildings and after a while the price is likely to increase, and you sell it to constructors.

I have got to go with commercial real estate. You cannot go wrong.

As far as a franchise, I would have to know your area. Do you have storage centers or birthday party places like Pump It Up.

there is a saying that if you put 2 mcdonalds restauraunts across from each other they will gerate the same amount of profit so i'd make that your goal as far as short term gain I;d say any food establishment or maybe a fitness store those are usually about 50k to start ant the turnover depends on the location like all business, starbucks or a dunkin donuts but these franchises are constantly increasing every quarter so if you can do something before july 1st then you'll get a sweet deal you can even negotiate start up cost but not that much maybe at the most 10k off

you can invest in stock options. but because you don't where to invest so you must invest in education about investing first.

I'd suggest that you put at least 50K with aid4families and that would provide you with steady monthly income since it pays 10% of your deposit.

ill open a mutal fund on a index fund like s and p 500.

As far as investing in a franchise I would first ask what do you have experience in? As far as a hi rate of return what is the level of risk you are willing to take on? If you are serious I can answer better after you answer the two questions you can write to me at billone44@yahoo.com

Well, business opportunites are plenty.

I have a option for you which is one of the oldest and stable businesses in the world. The returns are low risk and safer than other options in business where you run the risk of losing all your investment.
The returns are not high by any standard. However,as you know that higher returns are available only with higher risks. So why not go for something less riskier but stable returns?

Drop me an email if you are serious. This might be interesting for you.

Talking of franchise, any franchise within your stated limitation (100-200K) is good. It's just a matter of location.

Bear that in mind, location, location, location.

Look forward on what the location would be in the future year.
