What company should I invest 100k in?

Katheryn Skrobacki: Unless you are starting your own business, you should NEVER invest all your funds in one or two companies.You need to spread your risk among different industries and companies.Keep in mind the Enron situation where thousands of people lost everything.I would stick a good chunk of it in CDs and money markets, stocks are way too risky....Show more

Romeo Tinnea: Ummmmm ..... if you ever invest 100K into one company, it should be your own. Otherwise, spready your investment among many companies. Using a broad-based index mutual fund is a good way to do this.

Lavelle Viveiros: i will say 5 to 6 is good.

Joie Kemmis: I love the people who say you should not invest in only a few companies. Did the asker say that the money is his life savings? Even more stupid is that GLD is an ETF which by definition is not putting all your eggs in one basket.Their 1 year chart looks good. Past performance is no guarentee of futer results. I do not know en! ough about either to give you a good answer. I also don't know your criteria for investing.1) time frame for investment2) tolerance for riskI like VICEX.If you want to pay for advice, check out this site.http://www.dessauerinvestorsworld.com/He has posted a top 10 stocks to buy for the year.I won't reproduce it here since it is copyrighted material....Show more

Marty Tichnell: Ever heard of the phrase "NEVER PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET"??that's exactly what you should do. Because of the volatility of the US economy at the moment, you should NEVER EVER spend all of your funds in one company. What happens if for some reason the company goes bankrupt? There goes your rich-lifeDepending on your age, allow some speculation. If you're young, buy some high risk stocks, as they often offer the best rewards. If you lose your money, you'll have plenty of time to make it back. But if you're getting closer to retirement, stick with conservative companies that pay dividends.Di! versify your portfolio in different sectors of the economy. Oi! l and gas companies are rallying at the start of 2008, so you might want to do research on that.Cash-een!...Show more

Bernadette Roel: mine***more seriously -- given the present investing environment in the US, why would anyone want to make a significant purchase at the present time??looks like there are plenty of better opportunities outside the US, AND some of them impose additional risks of various sorts.GL...Show more

Bell Pasco: that;s a lot of money to risk in a single company's stock

Misty Vagle: Sink it all into a producing oil well and buy the whole well.Or prospect for many oil wells - buy the whole well!Gas price always go up - way up. Imagine smiling when that happens knowing that you are making bank.

Abel Adger: Not just one, but be diversified. Get a handful of mutual funds with no loads and let it grow for the long term. a growth fund, index fund, an international fund, an income fund, a bond fund, and a money market will put you well ! on your way. You could put all of these inside of a tax-deferred annuity after maxing out a Roth IRA. Good luck.

Valentine Willinger: Should I invest in GLD and RIG?
