I want to invest $5000 dollars in something good, what is out there yu know about? hlp me, thanks?

As a life long investor, allow me to tell you that there is no such thing as `a quick buck`. The investing of money has to be planned and thought out carefully; unless you want to loose it all. Although it is a lot of money to most people; $5000 is `peanuts` in the investment market. So if this is your first venture, talk to your bank manager or an investing consultant. Take some advice from people in the know. Good Luck.
