Are you investing to make money, or investing to keep the value of what you have?
If you're looking to have a store of value as a hedge against inflation or collapse of fiat, you can't go wrong with gold (which is underpriced now). But it's doubtful you'll make a quick buck on gold or silver, they're too controlled and stable (by design). They're a long term hold.
If you're an investing noob, there are a dozen ways to make money off the market and a thousand ways to lose it all. Buy a book or find a good financial advisor to teach you the ropes before committing any real money.
