The title of the post speaks for itself. I was just wondering what you guys would do if you were about to come into this money?
If you had $20.000 to invest, where would u invest it?

If it is investment for the long term, and you do not need the money soon. I would go slow but sure with minimal risk. Buy quality, buy it cheap and get paid to wait.
Buy something like TRP Trans Canada Pipeline
The 12 mo. mean target is $42 buy on the dips at about $33 and get paid to wait with a 4.27% dividend
Possible 25% upside and you are getting paid to wait.

A Reit is a Real Estate Investment Trust, people use them as income, mostly older people. If they have 2 or 300 g's, that's not enough to live on for the rest of their life, so they put it in a REIT and collect a monthly dividend.
I wish I had of put money in one at the March lows, some were at 20% when their price had dropped.
Good thing about a dividend stock is that if the price drops it's not a big concern because you will end up buying more shares, as long as it's a good company with a history of paying and increasing dividends. I like Calloway, I believe they have a lot of Walmart properties, but with my history of investing that would mean to stay away.
Although Rockl makes a good point, we seem to be at a point where earnings are coming in great but the general news on the economy isn't so great, very uneasy feeling. A lot of people are bullish and say we're through the recession, never a good sign.

Gold is the best bet but you will not get rich with investing $20,000. Gold always best bet but need a minimum of $100,000 to make it worthwhile.
If age is a proxy for time horizon, you pretty much nailed it.
Any other responce is wrong.
If you wanted as much risk as you could handle, there is DRV, it's a triple leveraged inverse stock that tracks the US real estate market. The market may be at its peak and it's close to its all time low, meaning that if the US market goes in the tank again, it could go up 3-400%.
If American's home values go down much more, and more people get to be underwater on their homes, there could be a tsunami of people walking away from their homes, add to that the tsunami of foreclosures that the banks are holding on to right now so the market isn't flooded.
The banks are holding onto them hoping that the inventory clears fairly soon, but they can't hold them forever. This is all speculation on my part, and I'm only talking about a small position.

If you have specific intentions for the money, put it in a GIC or T-Bill.
If you are looking at it as play money, take a winger and bet on something sexy.
Wait a few months. There's going to be another fire sale on stocks. The whole world is in a recession (still, or again), but Canadians haven't figured it out yet.

Agreed. Defensive plays are overpriced, which should tell you volumes about the market.
Infrastructure plays are sexy, but I'm sitting in Shanghai right now and the opportunities in the Far East far outshine those in the West. Go global, get some infrastructure ETFs.
