Two-part answer to your question -
First, 10% return is easier than most people will lead you to believe. The key is to actually understand how stocks behave and do not just buy into something and hold it through all the ups and downs. There are numerous investing strategies with consistent returns far above 10% annually. I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.
Second, "safely" is totally dependent on your own risk management. When you invest, you must know ahead of time what you expect to get from the trade and, most importantly, at what point your trade is going in the wrong direction and you need to cut your losses. If you follow a few general rules in this area, your money will be "safer" than if you just leave it in a stock long term or put it in a fund where someone else has control over it.
Bottom line, the more involved you are with your investing, the better return potential you have. Do you want someone else to control your money and you get 10% per year, or do you want to be in control and make 10% per month? |

Reward is tied to risk. The more of a reward you want, the more risk you have to take. If it pays more than a money market fund, it has more risk than a money market fund. |

I just woke up and came to yahoo to try to help some people out. It is ridiculous what some of these people say in the answer forum.
I have had a DRIP plan for over 20 years, and it has performed fantastically. I believe the lady who suggested you look at a DRIP Plan clearly said, the returns get better the longer you keep your plan implemented.
If you are looking short-term, then no, do not get a DRIP plan, and it seems that is what the lady said to you. A few of the male respondents seemed to get a little upset over her advice.
I have estimated my annual return over the past 20 years from my DRIP around 10.4%. The longer i keep it, the better my annual return.
I don't care which plan or investment vehicle you use, I am just trying to help. But i would be careful about some of the advice you receive in Yahoo. I have noticed there are Mutual fund salesmen in here and people trying to send people to their personal blogs.
If the people give links within the body of the message, it is likely they have ulterior motives. If they put their links in the source box, it is likely they are sincere.
I hope this helps. |

Simple answer.
There is no "safe" way.
10% on a stock portfolio would be doing well. Stocks, as you know... are risky.
A stock portfolio is the best way to increase your nest egg. Stock Mutual Funds may be the best way to grow your money...... but there may be years where you'll be down by 10%,20%,30% etc.
Learn about investing. Control your future.
BTW: Most of the specific suggestions you've received are terrible. DRIP plans are made of stocks. So what ever risk you have in stocks... you'll have in DRIPS. Suggesting that DRIPS are "safe" is simply ignorant and dangerous. |

Fact: DRIP's can be opened with as little as one share. You do not need $250 to $500 to start a plan.
Fact: You have the opportunity to invest in the best companies in the USA.. General Electric, Merck, US Bancorp and the list goes on. These are Blue Chip stocks and offer a high degree of safety.
I noticed you did not even mention if it was long-term or short-term. If you need 10% short term, it will require a higher degree of risk.
If you are looking for a long term investment that gives 10% annual returns, DRIPs are the way to go.
I hope the men in this room don't get to mad. LOL |

HeyDonny is not to informed about DRIP plans. You can start a DRIP plan in most cases with as little as one share. His assertion that you need $250 or more is absolutely wrong.
From my experience, DRIP's are very solid plans, especially over many years.
Do your own research on them. Some people come in here giving advice and don't have a clue what they are talking about.
DRIP's are very inexpensive to start. |

The only conservative reliable way I have been able to obtain returns of 10% annually is through my DRIP plan. However, you must use these plans for the long-term if you want double digit returns. The returns get better the longer you keep the plan in effect.
They are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.
The best part is you get solid annual returns from well-known, safe Blue Chip companies like: McDonalds, General Electric, Pfizer, Walmart, US Bancorp.......etc........
They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down. |

None that I know of safely.
"DRIPS" are not totally safe. They are stocks of a company that you purchase directly from that company and not through a broker.
Usually a $250.00-$500.00 initial investment if not more.
They can lose money just like any other stock depending on how the company is doing.
The fees many companies charge to keep your small shares of stock on their books add up.
If you go to sell, it takes a while to make that transaction.
They are good long term investments with the right comapanies, but, don't guarantee a gain in your capital.
They are not FDIC insured. |

DRIP plans are by far and away your best way to achieve safe double digit returns. And the key word is safe. |

Try oppenheimer bond funds, they're returning 14% per year, they're world bond funds but they're probably safe. See http://biz.yahoo.com/p/tops/ib.html under 5 year performers. |

Yes indeed, that's the $64,000 question. And if safely earning multiple times the current inflation rate could be easily done by simply asking here, everyone would be doing it.
The crux of your question is "safely". I interpret that to mean "little or no risk of any loss". There is no way to do that in today's market. If that is not what you mean by "safely", then tell us how you define "safely".
For some weird reason, this answer has turned into a debate about DRIP plans. DRIP plans are just another way to invest in stocks. Stocks have risk and can lose money (just ask any Enron stockholder, whether they used a DRIP plan or not). There is nothing magic about DRIPs that makes them "safer" than the stocks you buy with them.
The bottom line is that your question is too vague to get a definitive answer, because you don't give any timeframe and you don't define what you mean by "safely". |
