You inherit 100k. Name one thing you would invest it in and one you would avoid

Healthcare providers, especially obesity treatment, it's a growth industry.....

Social media is a bubble.

Housing rebound has been driven by cash buyer who held off after the credit fueled bubble burst. The new lending restrictions haven't been felt on the market so I say avoid.

Dont think a bubble is supposed to last ten years already with maybe another five left in the tank. Maybe more.

Right now, I'd buy a few thousand worth in dollars. It seems like the euro is getting dragged down. The dollar is going from strength to strength with America becoming more self sufficient for oil. I'd cash in very quick though, once it gets on parity. Actually, the euro might not get weak enough to make only a few k worth the investment.

I hate the term cloud. It means a thousand different things.

I prefer the original cloud.

It's a bubble as in a fad. Facebook is other people's boring holiday snaps. It was very cutting edge in the 1970s to bore other people with your home movies. Until Terry and June started ripping the piss out of it.
Most people with anything of interest to share choose not to share it with online randomers.
Property is an option but it requires maintenance. Dodgy tenants, water charges ?, property tax....the list of headaches is endless with investment property.

Definite no: motor vehicles.

I'd invest in some kind of hipster café type thing. Like a café that doesn't sell coffee or has no chairs or the chairs are on the ceiling or something.

I think actually if I came into 100k I would probably spend 99,000 on booze, strippers and motorbikes.

I would probably waste the rest.

60% of all new cafes and restaurants fail within their first 2 years of business. But you might be onto something.

it's a common fallacy that housing trends towards some multiple of rents like stock prices (should). LCredit is a major factor. I'd expect a reversal in any housing gains when interest rates go to normal.

But rental demand is not decreasing - it's increasing. And courtesy of the Central Bank it will only increase further. Rental yields are currently so high that, not only would a property investor make an excellent return today, but they also have a serious cushion against any interest rate increases (which won't happen for many years). The central bank is gambling on (with the massively curtailed credit) that domestic demand for property purchases will decrease and, thus, house prices will stabilise (they have a long way to go before that - some properties are still overvalued, others undervalued). However, foreign investors, who don't suffer from the central banks restrictions, could easily clean up, resulting in a huge shift in demographics in this country, with a huge proportion of the population destined to be permanently stuck in the rental market, paying rent to foreign landlords.

Something that's of absolutely no value to society whatsoever.

Then, we sit back and the money will roll right in.
