What is a good medium-risk bond or stock that my GF and I could invest in?

We have a few extra bucks lying around and were thinking about investing it. We were looking for something that could be taken out in 5 years or less.
Ideas?

If you want to speculate and pick an individual stock you might as well open the WSJ, close your eyes, and then twirl your finger around and whatever it hits closest to is the stock. That is about how much luck you will have picking individual securities. Now if you want to invest put that money into VTSMX and hold long term and if you need it for an emergency it is highly liquid. Also on a side note DO NOT buy let's say 500 shares of MGM and think hey this is mine ad my GF's. Nothing good will ever come of that. You buy 250 and have her buy 250 individually. Also don't be surprised if your initial investment losses 30% or more and your GF hates you forever for it.

If I could own only one mutual fund (even though I hate funds) it would be PRPFX. It is well managed and has a consistent track record. Only down 8.3% in 2008 and did well in other downturns as well. Good luck.

So you expect this funds performance to do the same in the future? Is your name Yahweh/Allah?

No, but close. See my screenanme.
It has a pretty long track record (27 years), so I just assume the manager will act in like manner going forward. If so, then results should be similar.

Why are you investing with your girlfriend? Whose money is it?
