You should speak with an investment advisor to decide whether you want a high, med or low risk investment strategy. You need to actively manage your investments for the long haul. I have a decent balance of bonds, funds and stocks but recognize that without an investment advisor I would be completely lost or overwhelmed with the research needed to intelligently and successfully invest. Ultimately there is a risk.
Buying a home is a great tax break, especially as a first time buyer (if you haven't already bought your first home). With these insanely low interest rates and housing prices you may find a property with can give you higher returns than investing in an unpredictable market. We may not see home prices and interest rates as low as they are now in our life time...
