The best investment?

Start up your own part time service business. Then put that $1000 toward business cards, marketing, and other things you'll need to start it up. Then list your service on craigslist.com and other places. Jeff http://www.best-stock-trading-systems.com/trading_stocks_online.html

Timing the stock market is very risky. If you need the money in less than 3 years then it is considered risky since the market may go down suddenly and you would not have the time to wait for it to go back up. Market declines are not a probability, they are a certainty. It is not a matter of if, it is a mater of when. There is no such thing as a free lunch so your best bet might be a high yield money market or if you can wait the time a diversified portfolio of mutual funds.

Stock Market

I would say a good mutual fund or a savings account with a high interest rate. Another idea is the stock market if you can buy low and sell high.

don't mean any offence but you said " God have other plans for those who have not heard the good news of His Son. " But jesus says different: "I am the way the truth and the life; NO MAN cometh unto the Father BUT BY ME." Jesus said that HE is the ONLY way... so your answer... is practically saying that the bible is wrong. Who's wrong... your answer or the bible... if the bible is right than all those who never heard of jesus go to hell...

me. ill give you a 50% return of your money after 1 year.
