Homer.... It would most beneficial to meet with an advisor that can help you go over all this stuff. Shop around a bit and find a person you can trust, with a good company, that has a good track record. They will be able to give you a lot more insight in to what would be a good investment risk for someone in your particular situation (living, income, etc). I deal with people all the time in insurance that were lazy, decided to go on progressive or geico, and leave themselves open to all sorts of liability issues. Granted it is a different field but the message remains the same, talk to someone that is an expert, do not go on e-trade and buy a bunch of shit to save a few bucks on a commission or prop your ego. If your goal is to make money, find someone that has experience, and knows how to do it.

state of israel bonds are the same just have different minimum requirement categories and return rates. as of last month the bonds are expected to grow.
if you really want the maximum potential return on your dollar per time elapsed however i highly recommend poker, it worked out for me as well as a great supplementary income (i know a few guys at the table who do it for a living though). im also aware a lot of people have terrible bank roll management, are easily emotionally affected by loss of money, and make dumb decisions under pressure; if you fall into this category even potentially i would highly advise you to stay away from this game. if this isnt something that phases you, you should probably study up and getting lessons from someone like professional killer (im pretty sure he plays more than me; anyways hes probably much better as he plays much tougher opponents).
currently i really like the fact that i am quintessentially earning money for playing games and can earn money to pay off my rent and bmw while im waiting on chinese factories to complete orders on shipments.

Agree with Honky and Liger (partially). Disagree with grim and other people.
As an individual investor with modest assets, it doesn't make sense for you to purchase individual stocks. Too much volatility. Also - with your own job, there's no way that you can spend enough time researching industries and getting to know companies well enough to trade with any substantive knowledge. Go with some kind of fund that has low overhead, is diversified, and is professionally managed. I recommended an index fund earlier, as it is a good example of this type of investment.
You'll pretty much never hit a homerun and double your money overnight...but it's a much more protected venture with decent annual growth potential

Did a lot of research and by a lot i mean a little.
Probably diversify into index fund and israeli bonds, but I think Grim is right about Nokia, I don't like playing the market individually but I think he's right about Nokia, which is why I'm selling my sperm and putting all the cash into Nokia stock until Windows gains a reasonable percentage of the mobile phone market, and people realize their Nokia phones are much higher quality than samsung, and even apple products regarding durability. Of course most toys won out of vending machines are higher quality than samsung phones.

Don't listen to grim, as he's only trying to get you to invest in the only Finnish company that anyone cares about. It's nationalism, so I don't begrudge him; but it's not good advice.
Don't listen to liger, as he talked about netflix being a "good investment" right before it tanked:
