I'd put it in an interest bearing checking acct or a money market fund, then I'd invest $1000 of it in an S&P500 index fund every month for 10 months. I'd spend the couple of hundred in interest on a couple of cases of good wine and try to ignore the market statistics for five years at least.
-
Microsoft. :p
-
If I had to put it in stock, I would put it in an index fund or an IPO, but that is not investment advice. I would say talk to an investment professional, but I don't really trust them, either, if they say to put your money in the market. People don't get how speculative the stock market is. Read the book Millionaire.

I'd put it safely in the hands of Mr Warren Buffet

I would buy tax advantage preferreds, they are yielding between 7.5 and 9.0% taxable equivalent of 10.50%. There are some good mutual funds out there that specialize in this space.

Look for high dividend paying stocks. Check to make sure that their dividend is no more that 70% of their earnings. Check back five years. Familiarize yourself with the companies. I would by 4 different stocks -- $2500, each. A "high dividend" is anything paying more than 4%; But remember the dividend must be protected by earnings. So, if the stock earns $1.00, the dividend should be no more than 70 cents. Concentrate on that. Do your homework.

Look at McAfee, Crox, and EMC

I'd buy: ST JOE CO (NYSE:JOE) The land market in Florida will turn around and JOE will reap the benefits. I have time to wait for that to happen so that is my choice. Second choice: UNITED TECH (NYSE:UTX)

I was thinking of doing a very basic hedge, set up like this: Pick a few companies that I expect to outperform the market. (50%) Short an index. (SPY, QQQ) (50%) The short index leaves me with unlimited liablity if the index goes up, but if there is a great improvement in the market, my long stocks should outperform the index I should hope. The thinking here is that if we are in a real down market, all my stocks have to do is outperform the index. They could even go down. But I am concerned that the beach has gotten too crowded for this stroll- I can't tell what is going on, whether the Dow is going to dip another 1000 points or whether we've already bottomed out.

I would go with a stock that has been around for years, had ups and down but always pulls back up nicely, Ge is one IBM, Lockheed Martin, all good, if you want long term.. Others are the pharmacutical companies, anyone of those are always going to be around. I wold stay away from automotive stocks always. Mutual funds are a good way to go , they are ok. I would but them now, while they are low, even though they may stay tha way for a long while.

Dear ‘Ladyluck does not feel lucky’, From the question raised, you have actually equated ‘buying stock’ as a form of ‘investment’, which in my point of view may not necessarily be so. Stocks, bonds, option, futures etc are only financial instrument used by the ‘rich’ to make money. Another words, they are financial ‘vehicle’ to transport one to the desired financial destination. If you take a closer look into the life of the individuals whose success came from the stock market, in fact they had invested most of their time and effort in learning how to trade before they finally dump their hard earn money to ‘invest’. Those words which I’ve underlined are the elements which one should pay close attention and invest in, should you want to make big buck. In fact, you don’t need money to make money . PS: Just my 2 cents view.

Smith & Wesson (NASDAQ: SWHC) (S&W) is the largest manufacturer of handguns in the United States. After the economy finishes collapsing, there will be a run on guns and religion as folks cling to them in desperation trying to protect what little they have left.

Lowe's. They are a fully debt-free company, and they are expanding into different market's every day. Home - Depot's stock looks better on a daily basis, but they borrow to build new stores, etc. Lowe's has always performed in the long run. Always.
