I want to get started on with the investment scene. I am pretty well off in my financial life right now. I have 10k just sitting in one of my bank accounts that I need to do something with so any advice would be appreciated.

We need more info. Do you have a Roth? If not, sign up with Vanguard, choose a well performing fund and max it out with $5,500. Thats a start.

I've just started buying gold and silver. I'm planning on using it for a long term investment. Protects against inflation and is liquid if you need the cash.

Is the Roth limit $5,500 per Roth fund or can you invest $5,500 in as many funds as possible?

$5,500 per individual.

So even if you have multiple Roth IRA (e.g. Vanguard, Fidelity, etc.), you can only put $5,500/yr into them combined. The rules do not care where you invest it, which fund(s) or none.

The Roth limit is $5500, as is the Traditional IRA, but you can open both as separate accounts and max both out.

I don't think so...

John, 42, has both a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA and can only contribute a total of $5,500 to either one or both in 2013.

Hmm, perhaps I'm wrong then. I must be confused with a SEP IRA, because I have a Roth and SEP.

all these answers are for lazy people.

use your money to buy and sell items.

you could invest 10k into something and make 5k a month in profit pretty easy.

i buy and sell cars btw. i buy them broke or needing small items fixed and sell for profit.

i make on average 80% profit.

i just bought a 06 dodge ram for 2500. needs 1200 in repairs. it books 11k. this will be my biggest profit margin to date.
