I mostly invest in etfs...
my younger brother has a $23k portfolio and it is 100% in 1 etf bond fund that pays him 7-10% aror:
some etf high yield bond funds that you can buy today give dividend payments of 9%, and can rise in value... you are not going to risk losing your capital from a well diversified corporate bond fund.

Actually I have just done this. Growth is small but there is growth. Pretty much everything else I have is dropping again.
ok well I got 10 k right now. Since I know how to run and bring 10 yrs exp in the game to the partnership you guy's Pony up 25 k each and let's get going.
I heard some natural source businesses in African continent is great to invest as well, plus helps economy growth. China has eyes on Africa right now yet Japan hasn't shown any interest.
That depends on whether this $20K is for non-registered account or registered accounts like TFSA or RRSP.
Assuming all of the $20K is for non-registered account, you may be better off to buy TD e-series equity index funds.
And if the GIC is not tax-sheltered, say in TFSA or RRSP, CRA is going to tax every penny of interest out of it.
Moreover, the fund in GIC is mostly lock-in/non-redeemable. You could pick redeemable option but the meager interest rate will get additional hair cut accordingly.
This is exactly why the use of charts alone is a very dangerous (and expensive) practice
New technology has opened up the production of shale gas.
The potential reserves in the USA are huge.
The huge amount of supply coming into production has put downward pressure on the unit price of natural gas
It is also one of the major reasons why that chart is slopped down and to the right.
Will the price of natural gas correct back to levels of a couple years ago?
Probably not real soon.
Can it go lower?
Absolutely
There is usually an economic driver behind a chart's movements and it is best to understand that driver rather than the chart before plunking down your hard earned cash as an investment.
Despite what MSM (mainstream media) says things are not going well in the USA, which means the economy is about to burst. So you could wait and see what happens, hoping that we Canadians do not get affected by this. Silver is considered a better value than Gold right now, but with either you will not lose your money.
It is a hard question to answer because it all depends where you are in life.
Me, I would take $5000 and go on a real nice trip or two. Then the balance probably put in a GIC for 2years or more and wait to see what happens.

I would blow some of it on a nice trip as life is short and the rest I would put in an ALLY savings account making 2%.
2% is not much of a return on capital but these days it is more important that there is a return OF capital.

Funny that...I'm long nat. gas. The shale gas harder to get at and extract than is commonly believed, and with the low prices and uncertainty following on the shale gas discoveries, conventional gas isn't being replaced with new finds. The underlying facts of the nat.gas biz is medium term quite bullish, actually. I like to invest way before the trend in any industry establishes itself, so right now my nat.gas stocks aren't doing too well. But I'm patient.
if you have any debt with a high interest rate (anything over 5% assuming your rate of annual return will be 5% or less), pay that off first.
