Doug favors universal insurance! asked:
If someone gave you 100,000.00, and told you you had to invest it into the stock market, and had to leave it there for 5 years, which stocks would you invest in and why?

I would invest it in quality mutual funds with good long-term track records.
Mutual funds!!! Don’t you know this type of diversification is simply protection against ignorance? I’m not the one saying it, warren Buffet is…
First you need to learn the basics of investing which will help you make much better decisions. I recommend http://www.investorrules.com
Now as far as recommendations go if you really want play it super safe go with major index ETF’s. They don’t cost you anything (management fees) and this way you will at least make the same returns as the market does which will allow you to beat 80% of all mutual funds out there!
If you want to try and beat the market go with blue chips cash rich/debt poor paying dividends companies from different areas of the world, including the US of course. My favorites right now are MEOH, IFN and NFG
good luck
