What is the best type of short term investment?
What is the best way to invest $50,000 for one year and get the highest yield with a very low risk?
Would you suggest a money market?
By the way I am not looking at long term investments. I will need to use the $50,000 but don’t want to put it in a savings account. What should I do?
Long term investments are not an option for me with this money. Also I am looking for a somewhat low risk. Is a money market the way to go? Or would bonds be better for me?
Also I have zero experince in the stock market so day trading for me would be out.

How to invest in African developing countries?
Hi! I’m an active investor at stock market. Have been for about 20 years now. Most of my investments are in US- and European stocks but recently I have bought investment fund shares in India too and they seem to bring pretty good profits, even I know it’s more risky.
As a high-risk investment, I’m very interested in finding ways to invest on the emerging African stock markets, in Angola, Mozambique etc.
I’m looking for local small or mid-cap companies that have good changes to grow, or can invest on a new company too.
As far as I know about the new markets in Africa is, that the market volume and starting level is such low that even small improvements would increase stock values dramatically.
Would there be any broker who operates at those markets? I think it could be a good opportunity to make high profits, even the risk is very high too.
