From the book, "A Course In Miracles":
1: Nothing unreal exists.
2: Therefore, nothing real can be threatened.Stocks aren’t real, silver is. Plus, there’s less silver in the world above ground than gold.

You can check out vanguard.com, and use the S&P 500 mutual fund. I think it’s hovering around 14-17% APY. It’s less risk than regular stocks because it’s such a large pot. Most financial advisors/consultants do not charge for initial consultations, so you can go that route too.
Make sure you know how much is "enough for your masters" so its easy to know how much $ you need. Good luckJuly 30th, 2009 at 11:58 pm -

Now it the best time to invest in Real Estate. It will never be lower than now and it starting to climb as of today’s news. If you don’t own a house, you can get the $8000 tax credit which is a better return on your money than anything you can invest in right now.

solar may be an interesting play with the news from China saying they are going to help pay for installations.

I think that if you aren’t confident in making your own choices, you should get some professional help with that money. That’s a lot of money to try to invest yourself if you don’t feel confident. Good luck

When do you need the money for your masters? If 5 years or less, invest in a bank CD – yes the rates are very low but you want to insure you have the money you need.
However if you have more than you need for a masters (maybe you only need $25k) or perhaps you will not go for your masters for more than 5 years. If so — invest the money not needed in the next 5 years in both a general stock mutual fund and a general bond fund. Talk to a financial advisor. Look at only no load funds.
Picking specific areas like China or oil stocks might be fun to do with 10% of your investments but in general you want to be greatly diversified.

If I was you, and never owned a home, I would invest inreal estate. The $8000 credit is unbeatable.

Don’t try to win a fortune. Buy a lottery ticket if you try that.
It sounds like you know when you will complete your masters degree, so I suggest you investin a target date mutual fund. Find a mutual fund with a target year of when you plan on finishing your degree.
