    You can go for Gold coins or Fixed Deposits; safe for a year.

    The answer is based on your risk tolerance. How much risk do you want to take? If you say little or no risk, than you should consider a bank C.D. If you you want to take more risk and don't mind if your investment could possibly be worth less in a year, than you should consider a mutual fund. If you want to shoot for the stars and get a great return but possibly also get a great loss, than look at an individual stock! So now the question becomes which mutual fund or which stock? Pick a sector of the economy that has been beaten down for the last year or two and you will likely see your answer. Good luck with your search.

    If you know that you will need the money in one year and will have to cash the investment, then you need a low risk investment that protects your capital. You do not want to invest in anything that flucates in price day to day, because it may be worth less, not more on the day thay you must sell.

    So that means you must invest in money market funds, high interest savings accounts or term deposits. Shares, metals, gold, silver, stock based mutural funds are too risky for a one year investment.

    Shares - If picked right

    Mutual fund-Most of mutual funds are equity based ( here means which are giving returns)

    Gold - Already at its peak still long way to go.(Need lot of investment)

    Best investment strategy is mix and match. Invest part of money in all and be on safe side.

    Now you have to decide the ratio as per your risk appetite.

    Best of luck for your investment

    Now a days Stock Exchange is better investment. Because these days SE in in the very low level and in one year period definitely it will increase the value of the shares. So this is the time to buy shares in companies in fast growing industry. Gold prices are fluctuating and it is difficult to predict the prices for future.

    Also you can try Fixed Deposit in a reputed bank or government bank for one year.

    One year isn't all that long for a reasonably profitable investment. Go for something with high liquidity and a 24-hour market, like Forex.

    Signals from companies such as JustPips will help you get up and running quicker.

    Maybe you want to check out Stock Robot first!

    Stock Robot is a professional stock analyzing software that picks the best potential stock!

    The best part is, the software does all the analyzing for you.

    It's been featured in CNN, USA Today, and even Bloomberg!

    I've been using it for months and I have to say it's really good - of the 10 stocks I've invested, 8 of them have been successful!

    The best part is.. the software focuses so much on the stock market - the software not only helps you analyze the best stock.. you can watch live news of stocks, tickers and so forth!

    Here's one of my BEST success recently:

    On 18 May 2009, a few hours before the stock market opened, the software analyzed that UOMO penny stock will rise to new highs. I bought 10000 stocks at $0.35 (the closed price for the weekend and before the market opens) for $3500.

    As soon as the stock market opened, the price soared till $0.52 and closed at $0.81! The next day, it rocketed to $0.90 and the software signaled me the "sell" signal to sell all my stocks immediately.

    And luckily I did because the price fell after that. I earned a hefty profit of $5460 (After broker fees) just like that in 2 days.

    See the graph if you do not believe me! Just scroll to the range from 15 May 2009 till 30 May!
