The best recommendation to be made to this client is to do nothing.

Explanation:

Investment in stock is a highly risky investment because price of stock often fluctuates which can make an investor to lose a lot of money.

From the question, the client is already old at age 67 with a low income and he does not have any other liquid assets apart from the annual income of $25,000, mainly from social security and interest on funds held in a bank savings account.

Since losing so much money through investment in stock is not affordable to him, the best recommendation to be made to this client is to that he should do nothing.
