Investment Questions

I have about $5,000 that I want to do something with and am trying to figure out what.  I am kind of new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Basically I am trying to figure out if I should gets some bonds, stocks or some high quality/div growth stocks.  I don't have any time restrictions on how long I want to keep it invested or anything (could go 25+ years).

Thanks for your help guys!!!!

Really?  Nothing?

Sorry that nobody replied.

Need to know more about your situation to give a good comment.

Is 5k a ton of money to you? What other investments do you have? How old are you? Do you need the money in a year, 5, 10, 20?

How risk adverse are you?

Tell us a bit more and you will get more comments.

I am in college so relatively speaking 5k is a lot, but I definitely don't need to touch it for 25+ years.  I currently have other high quality/dividend growth stocks.  Since they return a nice 10% in the long run, should I just load more onto that? 

I can take a risk with it, but I would rather play it on the safe side and actually have the balance grow steadily.

I was actually thinking of loading up on Bank of America for a day when I heard about the 250 billion dollar plan to buy bank stocks, but I may have missed the boat on that quick jump.

Thanks guys, help is appreciated.

Anything else guys?  Your input was helpful.
