Where can I invest my savings to earn 8% or more for my retirement nest egg.?

I think you should fully stock your 401k, and after that, open a traditional IRA or Roth IRA.

And inside of these, simply have a diversified portfolio of ETFs, or Exchange Traded Funds, which are mutual funds which trade on a stock exchange just like a stock. You pay commissions to buy and sell these.

The expense ratio of these ETFs are very low, like 0.07%.

Also, these ETFs could outperform actively managed mutual funds (ETFs are mainly index funds). What a deal!

Lot's of mutual funds are currently earning 8% or more, but there's no guarantee that they will make this every year.

A mutual fund that has a mix of different types of stocks will be a good one.

Most mutual fund should earn over 10%. There is a natural gas company in Canada that has a 9.3% dividend but I forgot their name. Lots of places can give you that.

Most posters are saying 10% this and 7% yield on that but this is easy short term. You want to get those rates over the long haul and yields will be taxed. You might do best to put it all into the total stock market fund.

A lot of people suggested mutual funds. With all due respect, most funds underperform or just average performance. Since it's for your retirement, it's not advisable to digest some risk. Naturally u can choose to invest in low-risk funds, however they only offer low returns, hence hitting your objective of 8% or more is hard.

I suggest investing in high yielding stocks. You receive dividends on a regular basis which is ideal for your objective

Two of my favorites are American Capital Strategies (ACAS) and Canetic Resources (CNE).

Both have had significant price gains recently, but still have great dividend yields. ACAS was added to the S&P 500 two days ago and has had a large pop. I would wait a week or two to see if it comes down some.

At today's price it yields exactly 8%. However, the dividends are not qualified and are taxed as ordinary income. Recent history has ACAS increasing its dividend at an 8% annual rate.

CNE yields 13% at today's price and it is taxed as a qualified dividend. It is a Canadian oil and nat. gas company, so the Canadian gov. withholds 15% of the dividend. You can retieve the withholding dollars by declaring them on your tax return, except if the security is placed in an IRA. In an IRA there is no tax return and the 15% is lost. Some people do it anyway since you are still pocketing a net 11% return.

A third choice is a prefered stock, Bear Stearns issue X (BSC-X or BSC.PR.X). It's coupon is 7.8% and at today's price $25.32, it is yielding 7.7%. It not tax qualified. The problem is that it is past its call date, so the company can call it at any time. In that case you get $25 per share returned to you and you would lose the $0.32 per share.

put it in a roth ira. when you pull it out you wont pay tax.
while in the roth, put it in a trusting mutual company, but if you really want to sack away the cash take a jump in the stock market. you can earn a whole lot more than 10% if you get good at it. if your to scared, just dip your feet in and put a small amount in, a few grand.

I like to balance my investments between low/medium/higher risk strategies.

Low = Bank (4% - 6%)
Medium = Mutual Funds / Index Trackers (8% - 12%)
Higher = Individual stocks and Strategies (20%+)

From the 30-Jun-2006 to 29-Jun-2007 the S&P 500 has returned approximately 18%, pretty good for a medium risk strategy.

Over the same period the stocksmonthly investment system has returned approximately 38%.

My bank has been paying out between 5% and 6% on their long term high interest savings account.
