I suggest either Vanguard or Fidelity, I use both, they're both great. They are no-load fund companies, low fees.

For a 100% stock investment, their index funds are a good choice, they have SP500 Index Funds, and Total Matket Index Funds, so the diversification covers the whole stock market. And they have Target Funds - they are allocated to match your retirement age - ie, some US stocks, some International stocks, both large & small companies, some bonds, etc - so they are diversified across stocks, bonds, foreign. If you are young, you would use the Target2050 for a 40-yr career - if you are closer to retirement, you would choose something closer such as the Target2020.

Every investor should consider bond investments in their portfolio as it plays an important role in maintaining a well balanced portfolio. A bond is an "IOU" issued by a corporation, government or governmental agency to cover the money the bond holder has lent. Bonds are not as exciting as stocks but they do play a critical role in the economy and in keeping your investment portfolio balanced.There are two sides of the investing coin -- stocks and bonds. An investor investing in stocks should also have a thorough knowledge of bonds. Bonds help keep your portfolio afloat in troubled times, since they are the other side of the investing coin. If a person owns stocks, he is a part owner of a company, whereas in case he is a bond holder he is a creditor of that company.

I suggest penny stocks investing as the best investing way for stocks and bonds as these stocks are the easiest way to earn money in a short period of time and requires low investment. Therefore anyone can adopt this business.

Penny stocks are too risky to invest. I would avoid them unless you really up for a huge gamble.

Penny stocks are renowned as any stocks of any publicly-traded company that deals in at $5.00 per share or less. There is debate over this description as some considers share price less than or equal to $1.00, is an accurate penny stock.

Penny stocks are admired because they are cheap and can be acquired with low investments. But all stocks cannot be admired but only those stocks that have a high return yielding capacity are regarded as best stocks because in the stock market are available such stocks which have a yielding of zero.

I think Investing on Gold is the best investment at this time
It is very beneficial despite the ups and downs of the economy, rare gold and silver coins as well as precious metal bullion have proven to retain their worth.

Rare gold coins

Both options are good but you need to distribute your investment wisely among both for your portfolio.
