If I had 100,000 dollars to invest over a 40 year period -- what would be my best option?

Stocks, bonds, or mutual funds?

Comments for
Interest Growth Over 40 Years

I disagree with the first comment. If you are investing for 40 years, absolutely put your money into stocks. Over 40 years, you will make two to three TIMES as much money as you would with bonds. Yes, stocks are risker, but only in the short run. Downturns and recessions in the economy only last a year or two maximum. If you are investing for 40 years and don't need the money until the end, the recessions and downturns during the middle don't matter. To reduce the risk of individual stocks, invest in mutual funds and ETF's, which are just like really big mutual funds. You'll get much better returns than you would with bonds.
