Index fund. Let me repeat. Index fund. 80% of mutual funds fail to outperform the broad market.

Index fund.

When you get some play money, you can dabble in stocks. Otherwise.... index fund.

Did I mention index funds?

Investing in indiviual stocks is for gamb000loers. Index Funds are boring, unsophisticated, and absolutely great long term investments.

if you are not planning on moving in the next two years look at owning a home as your best investment. anyone that questions that isnt likely to understand living, taxes,peace of mind, or leverage.

Studiotraffic has been open for around 2 years now. When you make a free account, your account comes with $10 free. You can then upgrade your account with as much as $15,000, and every single day you earn at least 100 points on the automatic traffic exchange (no clicking required), you qualify for 1% of your account upgrade level. That adds up to 30% or 31% per month which is amazing. If you upgraded your account to $10,000, that would be $3000 every month assuming you remembered to surf every day.

Some more info. The $5000 cash will be in addition to the maximum contribution I can make into an IRA. The cash comes from a cash-out refinance of my home. What I'm looking for is something with a bit of risk, perhaps a business opportunity or something along those lines. Or I might speculate on some land. Index funds aren't out of the question though.

Ray Zee, your comments are very well founded. My home has appreciated 150% in just under 6 years. In addition to the investments, I'm purchasing a car and funding my bankroll (I'll have a real bankroll for the first time ever).
