Answer? | What would be the best investment for a 5 year period? |
For 5 years I would not need to touch this money, I'm wondering looking at mutual funds, stocks, Cds, Bonds, and more what would give me the best turn-over, considering also the safety of the investment. Which is why personally I lean far away from the Stock Market. |

Absolutely not cds. The bottom line example- 4% cd after 25% tax is 3%. Inflation 3.5% so you lose .5% purchase power. Change the specific numbers but always the same rough result. You think you have more because acct rises but you have lost. Not "safe". A diversified portfolio is far "safer" in that you have a chance for success vs none in bank. If you must buy bonds at least buy Treasury Inflation Indexed 1s. ADX - large company closed-end fund. PEO-oil stocks IAU-gold. EWA- Australia EAF-global. Properly define safety & you won't be eating dog food in your golden yrs with a worthless "full" bank acct. Lean the RIGHT way. |

I think it all depends on amount, plans, goals, etc etc. Maybe a (free) financial plan is in order? |

It depends on the kind of return you are looking for on the investment and how much risk (to principle) you are willing to take for that return.
Money Markets - no risk to principle but returns better than a savings account
CDs - no risk to principle and returns better than MM but money gets locked. you can stagger the CDs to get some flexibility here.
Bonds - a little risky depending on the type but can offer higher returns than CDs. Problem is researching and tracking them. Good option here are the Bond based mutual funds which take care of the research and maintenance. I invest in a few Closed end bond funds from Blackrock ( BKT, BHY , etc.) which is a very stable investment firm and they offer high-yields . I like closed-end funds because they trade like stocks( sometimes on discount) and they offer fixed high-dividends (monthly returns).
Equities - greatest risk and highest returns as well. problem is again researching and tracking them. Mutual funds make that easier but researching mutual funds themselves is a pain - stability, management, etc.. I like ETF for this reason because they are a basket of stocks ( like MF but traded like stocks) and the process is very transparent.
In any situation for getting optimal returns and ensuring safety you need diversify your investments - so in the end don't put all yours eggs in the same basket.
Good Luck! |

I think if you do intend to sit on it then a mutual fund will yeild a better return, it will be the one that will rollover with more intest earning potiential! Seriously think about a CD for a minute ....a CERTIFICATE of DEPOSIT, its an over glorified savings account, the intrest gained on a cd is nearly that of the earning power of a savings account!
I cant slam bonds because I dont know enough about them!
Let your money work for you!!!! Go with the mutal fund! |

Invest in HSBC Tax Saver Equity Fund (NFO) open till December 15th. It has 3 years locking period.
We all work very hard to earn for our dreams. It’s heartbreaking to see a portion of our earnings being taken away by taxes. As a result, we postpone our dreams… Surely, we all want to save on taxes.
Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, has made it possible to save up to Rs. 33,660/-* a year on taxes. We can avail this benefit by investing in specified tax-saving instruments, like Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS).
Introducing HSBC Tax Saver Equity Fund (HTSF), an Open-ended Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) that offers an opportunity for tax saving by providing Sec 80C benefits.
New Fund Offer:
20 November - 15 December 2006. |

Mutual funds are crap, the people who hype these crappy funds want other to feel as crappy as they do when they see poor returns on their money. If you want to save your principle look at CDs or bonds. |

You should look into a "Balanced Mutual fund." This is a fund made up of bond and stocks. They have less risk than all stock funds (which is important if you need the money in 5 years).
Individual stocks are too risky, CDs have low interest.
