F rent houses. Unless they were left to you free and clear within walking distance of TCU or SMU, been there, done that. Not worth paying the taxes.

cant go wrong with any oil major. they all make money

Can't wait til I have this first house paid off to get to it.

Although if the market takes a dump after Obama gets reelected (and he will, unfortunately) I'll be buying back in. For now, it's just DCA'ing with my 401k contributions.

If you believe in inflation, rental properties financed with fixed capital are the way to leverage it on both ends.

You're in the inflation camp...can be an excellent choice.

Now for my reco:

Rental Properties, as long as you are able and willing to do the routine maintenance yourself.

what I do is buy stuff for less than it's worth and then sell it for more than I paid

I think you might be on to something.

True, but certainly nobody would suggest that a non-advanced investor is going to successfully time markets (I would contend that an advanced investor couldn't). For a long-term investor it's senseless to worry about market timing, just put a little to work at a time selecting different entry points.

Then again, the OP never said his investment opportunities were limited to equity markets.

All good points, but he isn't talking about putting a little to work each check. He has a chunk to put to work now, so Dollar cost averaging in at the top (possibly) of the market might not be in his best interest.

I agree that it's senseless to worry about next week when you have a 40 year time horizon though.

And sorry, my experience with no adays is limited - I couldn't tell you where to invest them.
