Stock advice?

Depends, really. For my wife & I, we’ve had a pretty consistant investment strategy, and tend to want to only invest in 2-3 projects we believe will meet our goals. So far, it’s worked.

However, if you’re not already investing elsewhere & you have the money, then it might be worthwhile to invest a small amount & see how it goes. Any stock will be more volatile & risky (generally) than a bond, but that’s on the downside and the upside.

Similarly, any other investment like real estate right now (not great, considering the market) Gold, already too inflated…and international markets have been performing best over the last few years, but with legal issues (eg, they have a different legal system, so does that mean you’re more or less secure than putting your money in a US business?).

We had a friend of the family offer us an amazing investment recently, but we passed, because while the return was going to be 20%+, based on the same experience they had previously, our investment portfolio in our standard investments has been far better over the last few years, so it didn’t make as much sense.
