What to invest in?

Asked by pbucelwicz on November 29, 2007

I used that rent vs buy calculator and have realized that buying a house for a short term would not be worth it. So all this money I have been saving for a house… I would like to invest it in something aggressive for a 2-3 year gain. I want to put most of it into my IRA so when I take it out to buy a house, the earnings are tax Free.

With my current IRA I can only buy into American Fund Mutual funds. I would like to invest in some stocks as well. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
