Re: $100,000, where would you invest?
First things first, Put away 6 months expenses for an emergency fund ( ing, HSBC, Emigrant all have good rates). If you already have a home, consider another one as an income property. If you're not the landlord type. DIVERSIFY, DIVERSIFY, DIVERSIFY.
Every investment vehicle has good and bad points. They have all had their time as well. There was a time when bonds were it, stocks were it, mutual funds were it, real estate was it, CD's were it, get my drift?
After I put away my emergency fund, and bought myself two dozen crabs and some beer, I would spend 5 -10k on 5-10 different types of investment vehicles.
Park your money in a high interest money market account and THINK, RESEARCH, and then go for it. Good Luck!
