Different ways to invest?

Hi its me again and I have a question about investing. I am doing the stock trading and doing ok in it but I still have a decent amount of money in my checking that is just sitting there. I have a meeting with a financial planer but I wanted more than one view on this.

Beside trading stocks I would like to know some different ways to invest my money. I would also like to know which way would benefit me the most and make me the most out of my money. I am looking a certificates of deposit (CDs).

In my opinion every invester should diverse and invest a part of their money in Forex.
I always tell people to maximise that to 5% of their capital.
Invest that with a good Forex trader (or learn your self) and you will make nice profits on it.
