The couple: Bonds would be more appealing for they have fixed income and may not want to risk a lot, since this kind of investment provide very steady income and have the least risk.
The 19-year-old university freshman: He has no other economical sources owing to the lack of parents and has to rely on this sum of money for a long period until he graduates and finds a job to support himself. So
I suggest bonds and preferred stock in his portfolio, for both of them are of high safety and steady income. The single woman: She has not got married yet and thus have too less worries than the other five people. Chapter10 risk management and insurance
