Where to Invest $10,000 Right Now

While it might be tempting to make one large $10,000 investment on your favorite stock, a smarter approach is to invest like a venture capitalist. Don't be afraid of volatile, high-growth stocks. But do spread your risk out among several investments. One or more might be a loser, but you'll more than make up for it with massive gains on your winners.

For this posit, I'm picking four stocks from a variety of industries. All are high growth, with revenues for each company increasing 40% or more year over year. None are profitable yet, although one achieved profitability under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in its most recent quarter. I believe these stocks will crush the S&P 500 over the next three years. Let's take a closer look at my four picks.
