Best = most secure or highest average return?
Most secure investment would simply be converting all your money into gold bullion and stuffing it under your bed.
But there's a reason most people don't do that: it's not very smart.
Best average return depends on your wealth and the amount of risk you're willing to accept. You can get a very good return by buying slices of the debt of established first-world countries aka bonds. If you're rich enough and have enough disposable income that risk matters less to you, you can get higher avg returns if you pay a stockbroker to take care of your money for you, aka securities.
If you invest in something that won't appreciate, it... won't appreciate. Which means when you retire it'll be sitting there about as useful as when you bought it. And if you bought it when you were a 20-something between-jobs type, it can't have been worth very much.

Where can I buy this Lord and what kind of returns might I expect over 20 years?
Too broad, but overall, i will say real estate, land and blue chips.
If u want to time the market, then probably anything but its not foolproof.
might want to try high end Art pieces also, heard the return are in the high 20%.

For the benefit of potential investors I should clarify that YWH isn't technically a stock, it's a futures contract. It's publicly listed on NASDAQ and also on Uncle Billy Bob's First Baptist Electronic Securities Exchange Market (UBBFBESEM). Currently prices are bullish, but if the Rapture crop fails this year (it usually does) you may see a collapse in value.
The above paragraph contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and other applicable laws regarding God's plans and expectations with respect to investment in YWH, including statements regarding the form of the investment; the closing date of the investment; the use of proceeds from the investment; God's plans with respect to convertible note hedging transactions and sales of warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from those predicted in any such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in these projections and forward-looking statements include risks related to: the satisfaction of the closing conditions for the investment; the possibility that God will decide to use the proceeds from the investment for purposes other than those described above; the satisfaction of the formal requirements for the appointment of an additional director to God's board of directors; and the deterioration of the relationship between God and mankind, including God's possible nonexistence. Please also refer to God's periodic reports that are filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. God assumes no obligation to, and does not currently intend to, update these forward-looking statements.

Looks like 30% would invest in Narz. 
I've a fan of dividend-bearing stocks, rotating through them to keep the income high. Of those, a diversity between at least five 'types' is best.
I'm also a huge fan of speculation in start-up companies, but that's also because I consider it to be a great boon to society to invest in riskier markets.
Historically, I've done very well with property - but long-term I'm hesitant to buy something that will later be taxed. If you purchase for capital value, then you'll need to sell to get a profit. The alternative is to make the property revenue-generating; which is a lot of work.
Finally, investing in yourself is greatly recommended. Long-term, you'll need to upgrade your skills and education and credentials, and it's best to prepare for that.

The Stock Market has outperformed any and all other investments for any 10-15-20-15 year average (aside from the housing bubbles).
Therefore, do what motleyfool.com says, and invest in index funds, and dont worry

That was my understanding. You have to be willing and ready to stick to your guns if/when the stock market goes down, however. Because it always go back up higher than before, it just takes time.

A mix of a lot.
Bonds for security and regular income. Plus the interest you get is tax-free!
Stocks for the hedge against inflation, be sure to mix it up between Blue-chip, growth, and value. Have a broad spectrum of sectors including energy, healthcare, utilities, consumer staples, financial firms, etc..
