In this economy it would really be risk to get into real estate. Tell her to start on a very small project first just to see how that would go. Any more info contact me?

Invest in a pickup truck. Start a business that way. Lawn services, moving service, etc..

Government bonds for some of it. I would feel a little safer about that. The remaining can be used to explore. No reason to blow it all.

Its very risky. Better to think again and list down all the possibilities and alternatives.

ummm...this thing about matching people with appropriate investments is a bit tricky

the best investment she can make at the moment is to see a licenced financial planner to review her financial statements and objectives

unless this happens the probability of a mismatch is pretty certain

Knowing what you are goîng to invest and how you are going to invest will reduce the risks..

It is the not knowing that involves risks..

Example: Donald Trump thinks that real estate investments is not risky..
Warren Buffett thinks that stocks is not risky..
Becos they know what they are doing..

Invest in knowledge 1st..

I think the right investment is low risk, good returns, minor loss risk. This all thing is done in real estate market.
In this market you get high return on the investment.
