    You could always bury cash in the back yard. Anything else is an investment. The least yield comes from simple savings in a bank. The market can yield more, but the more potential yield, the riskier the investment. The riskier the investment, the more you can lose. You are in effect, gambling, just like a horse race. The only difference is in what you are betting ON. In a horse race, you bet on the pair, horse and rider, and in business, you bet on the skill of the company management. There is no substitute for doing your homework. Do the research. Find a broker to advise you. Investigate the broker so you find a reliable person. You would not buy the first used car you saw as you walked down the street, the same goes for a broker. You are especially interested in the broker’s track record. Has he or she made money for their clients? How about references?

    Hard assets, like real estate and precious metals, are a hedge against inflation. Stocks do poorly, in the short term, with inflation. You should practice asset allocation with investments in different classes rather than just stocks. Stocks provide the best return in the long term. But in the short term they can fall sharply, like 2000-2002 and now. Then it takes time to make up those losses.

    Open a mutual fund based on your tolerance risk.
