[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, we're looking at a 2 year timeline so it's really only a "get rich kinda quick" scheme. (Smiley face insinuated here.) And like I said, we've socked away (and will continue to sock away) enough for a healthy down payment regardless of the outcome of these investments. And yup, we have a lot to learn but you gotta start somewhere.

For those of you who said you were not risk averse but this wasn't a good idea, what are your suggestions? Perhaps starting with less money to see how well we do or hard we flop?[/quote]

I'm the poster who suggested Amazon. Really, if you want to do anything with 30K in 2 years, you need to invest all of it at once and accept a significant amount of risk. There's no secret to it.
I suggest you open an account at TD Ameritrade or some cheap online brokerage thing so that your transactions won't cost you too much. You don't need advice from pseudo professionals if it's not free :-) . Just educate yourself on which stocks will likely do well in the next 2 years and go for it. Once you decide on a stock(s), refrain from changing your mind and selling and buying all the time. If there's a shutdown-type crisis during those 2 years, keep your cool and don't sell. If there's a WWIII-type crisis, we're all finished anyway so don't sell. Cash in at the end of the 2 years.[/quote]
