How would you invest $50,000?
djm: Have you considered becomming a creditor? You can lend via sites like lendingclub.com. Annual returns are approaching what you'd expect to get on the stock market in the long term.I haven't tried this investment myself yet (insufficient funds) but I'd be interested if I had the money spare.Warning: I'm not sure about how this works in the US, but here in the UK I'd have to obtain a consumer credit act license for lending more than 25k.
