What do you suggest for long term investing?

[nixuzer]

I'm not looking into day trading or anything. Can ETFs be long term? I just want something that I can keep putting my money in and get something back in the long run... Index fund?

What expected rate of return would be your minimum?

How about real estate?

You put in someone else's money in (the bank of a private investor) and keep the money that comes out.
