Default Let\'s say I had $100,000 to invest...

I had a particularly good year at the tables, and after realizing it was pointless to keep a large balance in Neteller, I opened up an ING Savings acct so I could at least be getting 3.5% back on it.

I then decided that 3.5% was pretty worthless too, so I took half of my balance and purchased some of the ING Direct mutual funds. I didn't have much rhyme or reason to do so besides deciding that I was young, not hurting for money, and willing to tolerate a little more risk than a 3.5% savings acct or 4% CD.

Any other suggestions any of you might have?? I don't have the time to actively manage my own portfolio, so mutual funds seemed like a pretty decent proposition...

Keep playing winning poker... setup a routine to add to your mutual fund balances every month... 40 years from now you'll be a happy camper [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
