| Would you be willing to put two or three thousand dollars into a high risk investment - and if so, what would you choose? |

| 2 or 3 thousand isnt really that much to do anything crazy, but if I were you I'd invest in some type of small cap asian mutual fund. Tons of growth potential there, as well as tons of risk. |

| do a search on morningstar.com. That is an excellent website dedicated to mutual funds. I know the fund companies evergreen and dreyfus both have excellent asian mutual funds, that have had sellar returns recently. |

With regards to a high risk investment, it really depends on whether or not the risk is worth the return. If I could get an investment with a similar return but lower risk, then no. If the rate of return exceeds any type of return I could get on an investment with similar risk, then further evaluation is necessary. |

| I'm not risk adverse. If I could risk $3000 for a 1 in 2 chance of making $50 or a 1/100 chance of getting $3000, I would go for the later. Expected returns are on your side as long as you keep playing the game. The catches are obvious: how do you estimate risk & potential for reward & how much of your assets are you willing to place on the table? These questions are more interesting to me. |

| One note about using a mutual fund in this manner - about 20 years ago I invested heavily in Warburg Pinkus using a DCA approach, finally the Asian markets took off! Unfortunately, by that time Warbrg had changed the fund manager and focus and were largely OUT of Asia. Sucked to be me... |

| If the market is trending up, I would try to pick the most attractive stock in the hottest industry. If I wanted more risk and possibly more reward, I would choose a near the money call option several months from expiration. Good Luck |

Just keep in mind, the baby boomers are about ready to retire. They have billions of dollars in the market right now. What's going to happen when that support starts fading? If you're in long term, more power to you. I personally believe though that the next 10 years or so are going to need some close observation. Brand new factors never dealt with are about to come into play. |
