Only "problem" with "only" 10-20 thou is that it is less than what most commercial real estate investment mangement companies are looking for from what I've seen (and that also happens to be my favorite kind of thing to invest in as well). I'll see what I can dig up though.

I also agree with how ****ty the banks are being with interest, especially with all the bailouts they've been given. Like I said, I have a few calls I'm going to make this next week to see if I can find something solid that I could reccomend with a clear conscious. How risky are you willing to go? or do you want guaranteed retruns, and over what time period are we talking?

Not really into large risk factors, hence I'm not wealthy..... Lol! I'm open to long term investments. From my understanding the longer the better returns may be. All in all just curious and wanting to seek input from others (as yourself) who may have some good recommendations.

If I was you this is what I'd do, buy 2 oz of gold, 100 oz of silver for the long term. Then I'd go with some good looking stocks like BAC, F, SIRI, AAPL, YUM, MCD, UPS. If you put in about 15k in there plus the 6k in precious materials I think over all you'd see some very nice returns.

oh. if you dont want risky I'd go with high yielding stocks then, and for long term I'm thinking the gold and silver is still a really good bet.

Yep no problem and also guns are a good investment at this time as well and you can have fun with it. Buy a good glock or ar-15 and take care of it you should be able to sell it for more down the road.

just my humble opinion and I'm no pro, but I would go for blue chip stocks. buy and hold, they are still at a good buy right now. AVOID penny stocks like the plague unless you have REAL illegal inside info, not from the backpage of your local rag, or an email. I would avoid gold I think it's topped out and it's long term investment outlook is not good, shot up too high too fast over the last few years and has gone down recently and seems to be stabalizing, I think lower is the trend. but what do I know, I'm in too much debt to invest.

A balanced portfolio of US stock market index funds, US bond index funds and International total stock market index funds.
To balance, keep a percentage of bond indexes for your age, I.e., I'm 31, so 31% in bonds... The rest will be split into US and int'l index funds.
Before you do anything with the money, go buy and read "The Millionaire Teacher" by Andrew Hallam. He amassed one million debt free dollars in ten years from age 30-40 on a high school teachers salary, and this book spoon feeds you how you can do it. What he teaches should be taught in schools.
That's all I got.

Write a book on how to make a bunch of money and sell it online with a starter kit for $50 a pop. First 50 purchases I bet you'll at least make your investment money back.
Look into "drop shipping" online. Basically starting your own website selling pretty much anything you want, you're getting wholesale price but the customer pays whatever you see fit. The wholesale price for an iPod could be $100, but you charge $120, they buy from your site, it gets shipped straight from the warehouse.
That and google keyword hits. You can make tons of money with that but I am too impatient to learn how.

This^ If you can find a good niche and make a website/blog about it, you can make some serious bank.
As for investing, I'd look into picking up some stock in companies like Apple, their stock prices usually shoot up just after they release a new product.. iPad 3 release anyone?

Be weary of getting into stocks before you know what you're doing. I quoted the above post b/c it illustrates my point. I actually own Apple stock, and of course if you follow the news I'm quite happy b/c it shot up $30 in after hours trading after the earning announcement yesterday. Nevertheless, that has nothing to do with whether the stock is a good buy right now -- what matters is whether it is trading at an undervalued price.
Anywho, as far as stocks go, you're probably best off (in the long term) with some solid dividend yielding stocks. That way your investment builds itself over time and compounds.

Maybe look into making your own supplements. You can make a ton of money. People will purchase anything, just take a look around here. Some company comes out with a new supplement and people are all over it. Especially the 20 somethings. I mean even if the product hasn't even come out yet they already have their credit cards ready. You could make serious profit. Check out this clip from bigger, stronger, faster,
Seriously though, a 24 billion dollar industry. If I had the money that is what I would be looking into.

Negative. Everyone dumping into gold + silver is about to face a hard reality. This happened once in the 80's, then when the artificial bubble broke the value of gold dropped instantly down to 100-200 an ounce and people lost millions upon millions.
NOW is the time to cash in on gold if you bought it before it shot up. Its not going to increase over 2,000 an ounce(What is it at now, 1600?).
Part of its artificial inflation came from China buying up so much of it and they are going to quit doing that, when they do the demand for it plummets, when demand plummets so does value.
Not too shabby of an idea. Especially if your located near an area with a bunch of colleges/really athletic highschools with parents with alot of money.
If you can make a product that pretty much does what every single other product on the market does, but knock out some of the "excess cost" that supplement companies like to do to make more money since they are already established...you can undercut most places and provide the same product while labeling it "launch sale" until your are comfortable enough to jack prices a little.
Having it available to local places, maybe even a delivery option to local college campuses, will ensure more people will want it because its "there". Fancy uneccessary designs for labels work wonders too, just hire a local artist in need at an arts college to do it. None of them can get jobs so they will bleed for a little cash.
Once you have a stable local, get an online shop set up and maybe sponsor a forum or two. Growth comes fairly easy. New shiney things always get bought regardless of use.

Take £5k and invest in up and coming overseas markets such as developing countriesbin Asia and South America...I just put a lot of money into chinese gambling stocks. It sounds crazy but Macau has overtaken Vegas in gambling Revenue ten folds... look into companiesnlike MPEL ( melco crown) Take £10k And invest it in Blue Chip stocks such as AAPL, GE, Google, etc...you get the picture... Take £5k and start a Roth IRA and invest £5k in it every year until you retire... And if you wanna have some fun take £1-2k to the casino and put it on black...

Ww. Fool. Com is a good research website for investments and stocks...take everything with a grain of salt because just like supplement companies, every company thinks they are the best thing since sliced bread and sites online like to make certain companies sound better because they own a fair interest in this company...
Also financial stocks got hit hard last year...they have a lot of room to grow.
