100k from sold property out of the country. I'm 59 years outdated. Where to invest it?
My parents are almost 60 years old. They are from Ukraine but are moving to New York city to live beside me. They are about to brand a decision to flog their place, which worth around 100k. Where can we put the money so it will be safe, not crazy-taxable, and making an interest at lowest $500 a month?Sincerely,

.or you can only cut me a check ;)~
I think your parents should really run advantage of the stock marketplace. If they get really appropriate they will earn a lot more than $500 a month.
This is a devout site that will help them to swot the basics.
I wouldn't dare put it contained by one place as you increase your risk.
If it was me I would put some contained by cd's
Some in Gold (very undisruptive and going up a lot now)
Keep some surrounded by savings rationalization
Thats very risk-free investing there. You may want to return with a small amount also about $1000 to try-out the waters, and go to sharebuilder.com and try your foot at buying stocks. The first stock you should buy is GLD which stands for GOLD.
When the economy is doomed to failure Gold goes up this is why today for example, Gold or GLD go up over $2.00 a share. Imagine if you have invested $1000 contained by Gold you would have doubled your money and after some.
I also like the opinion that you don't pay taxes on it until you put up for sale it so if you see GOLD going up a lot you still don't catch penalized as you individual pay taxes at the time of you selling it so you can view your money grow without Uncle Sam harrassing you.
If you want a bit more risk but sophisticated returns you can put some into second trust deeds. However at this time I would stay away from Second Trust deeds but when the real estate flea market picks up thats a very secure investment...but not now.
hi, i am from latvia, and relieved to hear ,that your parents coming from ukraine.
if you invest in disc, you will pay tax, you need to invest surrounded by municipal bonds which tax free. please invest your time and articulate to financial / brokerage about levy free municipal bonds. i check, 4.5 % rate of return, but tax federal free. some state requred to income state taxes, some not.
it is better, than get 5% on cd and income fed tax 28 or 33 fed and state taxes.
appropriate luck

How do you figure out if a company's P/E ratio is high or otherwise?
Answers: You have to compare its P/E ratios with those of companies in the same industry. Companies in the same industry face similar economic conditions that lead to them having similar P/E ratios.
Some reasons that P/E ratios of companies may differ:
1) Growth (High growth companies have higher P/E because their earnings are expected to be larger)
2) Risk (High risk companies have lower P/E because investors are less willing to pay for risk)
3) Pricing (It could be a market mis-pricing)
4) Accounting (Companies using more conservative techniques have seemingly lower earnings, and higher P/E)
There are different appropriate levels of P/E depending on the sector that the compnay is in. You need to compare it to a competitor, keep in mind that a good company deserves a higher p/e. You would want to pay more for something if it is worth more and will be worth more in the earning game.

What are some good tips for a young investor.?
Answers: If you have a mentor such as a parent, relative, guardian, parent of a friend or teacher who trades or has investment properties, ask him/her to show you what he/she does and how he/she does it.
If not, here are a few things to do:
1] Yahoo! has and recommends these free sites:
http://yahoofinance.com
AND
http://investopedia.com
This is one of Yahoo!'s "Knowledge Contributors". This is a terrific site to learn about trading.
If you're interested in real estate as an investment, ask the person who got you interested in real estate, to show you how he/she does what he/she does.
There are LOTS AND LOTS of things to learn about trading and real estate. It would take much too much room for me to write those thoughts in this forum. I could do it, but this forum is much too restricted as far as space is concerned.
Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!
VTY,

READ ... read all you can... learn from others... read www.Minyanville.com , read www.SeekingAlpha.com .
read www.Bloomberg.com .
avoid Jim Cramer and anything by Kiyosaka (just my personal bias)
Read "the Psychology of investing" single best book i've ever read about how we fool ourselves into certain beliefs to reinforce our own self image and how it manifests itself in investing.
read anything by Peter Lynch...
read anthing basic... since you are starting out... dont be embarrased to buy an "idiots guide to investing" or something simple to give yourself a foundation.
and most importantly... Don't believe everything you read. :)
be skeptical... be cynical.. be critical...
practice on paper before you invest real $... then start small.
Experience is the best teacher...you'll learn how to lose a LOT of money quickly if you're not careful.
learn diversification... Never take any HOT TIPS... avoid penny stocks. NEVER NEVER NEVER take a tip from an unsolicited fax.
i could go on and on but that'll get you started
Cheers.
Read, Read, Read , Read, soak up as much information as you can, this is a very complicated business and there is a lot to learn, the more comfortable you are with all there is too know the better decision you will make.

Learn! Focus on fundamental analysis (how to read financial statements), and understand that the objective is to find mis-priced stocks, not "good" stocks. D
