How would you invest $155,000?

Get a competent (certified) financial planner. Rate of return and risk are inversely proportional. If it has a chance of outrageous returns it probably has a good chance of going bust. If it's low risk the returns will also be more modest. Virtually all fortunes were built up over time, most people who try to get rich quick end up broke.

www.freedomrocks.com/19768. trading as the system says using 3 pairs and staying away from the yen. 12% margin at 200 to 1 leverage and your interest income would be 23% or over 37k for the year and with all the other stuff going on you would have much more than that. Watch the video and give it a try. You will be pleasantly surprised. PS not my sight but I am so impressed with the system I told the guy I would let others know. I have been in since september. It has been well worth it. GOOD LUCK

The Indian stock market is worth investing now & that also through Mutual Funds is safe to Invest. In case you want to play directly with the equity market you should not Invest more then 8% in any single script.

I m sure if done properly the capital would minimum grow by 12 to 15 % per annum & if luck favours you the % could be higher.

Buying & selling of property is also a good thing but in that you have to be extra careful. If donr properly the returns could be definately higher.

All the best.

Risk and return are related. You cannot get stinking rich on only that amount of money with investments that take minimal risk.

I'd talk to a flat-fee money manager. That way, s/he is not selling on commission and doing what's best for them, and they'll give you good advice. Also, there's always a compromise between risk and reward, but you can get about an 8% return with a 1 beta, which means you're not more risky than the average stock market. You could also invest it in real estate that you rent out for cash, so that you leverage your return, but that requires some education, and you don't sound like you want to work at it.

Exchange traded funds, or ETFs are mixed investment tools that use the trading flexibility of individual stocks along with the diversification advantages of mutual funds. ETFs have features that make them attractive to investors looking for a cheaper method to enjoy wide exposure to certain sectors of the businesses. They are similar to mutual funds but are better due to various reasons. ETFs are cheaper than mutual funds. ETFs have very low annual expenses, nearly 20 basis points or 0.2% less.

If I were you, I would invest in aid4families. I invested there a while back and I have made a lot of money. The payments I receive now are pure profit as I have received back my entire deposit. Check them out for yourself. They give the highest returns and your deposit is guaranteed.

Put 30% into an international fund and the rest into a S&P index fund. This is somewhat riskier than mutual fund, but it should give a much better return.

I say meet with a Financial Adviser who can accurately obtain information concerning your risk tolerance, goals, and needs that you are attempting to satisfy. They should be able to compromise a specific strategy that is suitable to your needs as well as provide ongoing assistance to keep your portfolio on track to accomplish your discussed goals.
