Where would you invest $100,000?

[adamim1]

If you were to come across a spare 100,000 today, where would you put it? Consider that you can get 7% in an offset account against your home loan (if you had one) and consider the current market (greece, Italy, Ireland, USA etc)

Thoughts.

If I have a mortgage (7%) I would pay it off, before
I consider any investment because for you to get

the same return you have to earn 10% (assuming 30% tax bracket)
annual compounding year after year which is not easy....can be done
but not easy where as paying off your mortgage
is an easy 10% a year return...

Also having less debt give you more flexibility to deal
with fork in the road in life.

I wasnt lucky to have 100K spare when I have
the mortgage but I decided to knocked it off as
fast as I can before I start my saving for investment
and applied the magic of compounding ...

If it was spare I would put half on some spec oil/mining stocks that are about to spud in the next few months then cash in in the usual hype before spud

Adamim, understanding the ASF rules as you doubtless do, you won't be expecting any advice.

I will offer up two words for you. Deposit. Guarantee.
