Now it's an amazing time to invest in btc, because it seems it is about to spike to another bubble.
I've also heard it's a good time to invest in thorium, in case you don't want to put all your eggs in one basket.

I have some savings -about 50k usd- and so far I've been thinking about mutual funds and Forex and Bitcoin
Any advice/recommendations/ideas? Does anyone here do investments?

My advice is to refrain from asking random anonymous people for advice on how to invest your money.

Your situation is unique and nobody can give you good advice without knowing your situation.

Here is some generic advice:
1. Only invest in things you understand.
2. Start investing with simple low risk investments (e.g. savings account and CDs), then as your wealth grows add more complex and risky investments.
3. Avoid forex and day-trading. You will lose money.


Pretty much this. People ask me if they should invest in Bitcoin all the time. I tell them to research the technology, try and understand the implications, and draw your own conclusions from there. For me, it's an easy yes.

You want people to actually learn about something before they dump their money into it? You must be one of those personal responsibility fascists.  Grin

There is a risk involved in all ventures today whether it be business, forex or gold.. But then in your personal business, you get to control things.. I mean you are the one who can fix things as you feel right at your end.. However, in case of forex, other factors rule the play..

Actually, there is nothing which is risk free....You need to make your choice and head with it..
Absolutely, depend on the level of risk tolerant ability, you can choose mix or single of them. The low risk investment tool to high is: saving in bank, mutual fund, stock, gold/silver, BTC,future/commodity. It is my personal views. 
Saving in a bank sux, don't recommend it. In most cases you won't earn anything due to inflation. The only case when you can really earn money from a savings account is if you have over $1mil, but it's still not worth it.

What is your expected return per year?

If you have reasonable expectation (less than 9-10%) per year, I know a few good places to park the money.

I see that a lot of people are recommending gold investments. So how shall I go about it? Should I buy gold through an online broker? Or someone locally?Will it be faster if I choose to invest online rather than having to go through a bank broker?  And will it save me middlemen fees?
I know gold is down, but you want to buy when it's down anyway. It may go further down but gold will always have some value even if the world starts to fall apart. My advice is to buy bullion rather than coins. Or coins that have little collectable value. You want value in gold not value based on coin collectibility. It is also generally cheaper per Oz. to buy larger bars. So don't buy 4 1/4oz bars when you could get a better deal on 1 1oz bar.   

Lastly, secure it like a paper wallet. If you have a safe deposit box, that may be best.

Just buy bitcoins with 50% of your savings and a 30% in gold, then hold them long term, the value can only go up.

No, it can also go down.

A lot of people are investing in real estates in Bulgaria on the Sea or in the mountains resorts. Right now the price is very low and will go up in 2 years like two times. Real Estate investment here is very secure and you will also have the most beautiful place in the world. If you like you can PM and i can send you some offers from real estate companies.

Firstly, you need to choose the form of gold you would like to invest in..
Physical gold, which is nothing but jewelry,
Gold bar and coins
ETF
Gold futures
Gold Mutual funds..

And yes, you can go through bank broker...

You may opt to buy gold from your bank but let me tell you that all banks do not deal in gold bars, there are only few which will deal in Gold..
Moreover, you may think that you're saving on middlemen fees, but ultimately, it is going to expensive for you..
Banks have the gold packed neatly and then they add a certificate assuring the purity of the gold..
All these processes definitely are attractive and give you assurance that you are buying right..but then, the cost of these things is actually coming out from your pocket only.. Bank is not going to bear these charges..
I would suggest look for a credible jeweler..

Please don't invest in  real estates.. Somehow, I feel the sector very very risky.. It is just meant for extra rich people who have scores on money in hand who can hold properties for a long period of time... I guess Forex would be a good bet than mutual funds..
Forex is definitely very risky.. but tell me guys, where doesn't the risk lies today... Moreover, if you take every step so cautiously.. you will also make profits in small amounts only.. In order, to gain loads, you have take risks..

I advise you the caution.

It is always necessary to pay attention; the capital which promise returns widely above the market is often swindles.
