I'm not sure what to invest in. I think Apple and Mcdonald's are some good stocks and maybe some metals and oil.
This site could be useful for you in terms of making up your mind for yourself, but with the rationale of other investors backing you up.

It is a site where people make recommendations about stocks and write about why. Over time their performance is rated with a 1 - 100 score based on how well they did.
In terms of particular stocks, I think MGM (MGM Mirage) or CMG (Chipotle Mexican Grill) would be good bets for growth. I've written about why on the site. But there are a number of different ideas you can read about.
McDonalds is a good stock for long term. Apple is a good stock but since it has gone up in value so much already, it is most likely due for a pull back so I would be careful if you want to invest in stocks.
It's not easy to get rich in today's volatile markets but it is simple to make a good regular income if you have someone to show you how to do it and trade with you until you become good enough to do it by yourself. You will never be right on 100% of your trades because no one can predict the future but if you are right on 70% or 75% of them and you can risk-manage the other 30% or 35% of the loser trades, you can make $500 to $1000 a day in just 2 -3 hours a day by just grabbing one point out of the market. You can actually see it done live in front of you at LiveTradingDemo.com I believe.
you need to understand about growth stocks and dividend stocks. If I were you I'd put it all into GE. I also like Unilever. These companies pay dividends, which means every three months (For Unilever, every 6months), they pay you money for owning their stock and you can either reinvest that and buy even more stock... or just take the money and buy some candy and shoes. GE right now pays ten cents for each share you own. So, when the stock drops really low dividend reinvestment is smart because it buys even more shares when they are at a lower rate. In time, if GE survives and it should, they will raise the dividend. A year ago they paid 31 cents a share. Unilever pays a lot per share. Best way to find out is to go to Etrade and type in the stock symbol. It has updated info on there
I would put my money behind Etrade financial. ETFC. They are due for a big pop soon. Here is a great blog that I use for ideas. Good luck.
