The safest way to make money would be to put your money either in a high interest internet account(for easy access) or deposit account. Since inflation looks like going up soon, the interest that you make in these accounts will also go up. So you are protecting your capital.
The only other investment I would consider is in food commodities - rice, wheat etc.. - Prices have been rising steadily and it is predicted that the rise will go on for some years yet. This is because of overpoplulation(more and more food needed), famine and water shortages. And if you invest - do not buy dollar denominated stocks or funds because the dollar does not look like recovering soon. |

Let me get this straight, you want to wait until stocks get more expensive before you buy? When stocks are way overpriced that is the time to be looking for high interest savings accounts, not when stocks are cheap. |

This stock market is pretty bad, but a lot of smart investors feel that the best time to find good deals/undervalued stocks is when the market outlook is pretty bleak.
The other thing you might want to try is investing only a portion of money at a time (like 10% of the lump sum every two weeks) that way you can end up owning more shares. For instance, if you buy 10 shares at $10 and then the stock drops to $5, you can then buy 20 shares - voila! |

The stocks and shares in the stock market moves up and down daily. Rumours,high interest rates and the credit crunch make them to drop. Likewise, a cut in interest rate or good economic news on inflation or stock and shares of good fundamental and profitable companies, make shares in the market to go up.
The best and safest way to invest in the stock market is to buy good and fundamental stocks when the market drops and sell whenever there is good profit to be made. |

Invest in as much tax-free savings as you can. Don't give the govenmetn unnesseccary tax, you've given it once so why again. Stock and shares are not for the faint hearted and can be risky. Bricks and mortar are still the best investment if you buy low and take advantage of lower house prices and repossessionsand buy through auctions.
Hope this helps and have a good day;-) |

Yes It would be safest however if you have alot of
money over fdic limits it would not be. These days its hard to get much interest anywhere. You might check with National
city bank recently they offered 5% cd for 48 months. If you do
invest in the market diverify as much as possible maybe
mutual funds that have a history of small ups and downs or
whatever variation your comfortable with. |

Hi
In 2003 I invested $25000 in several certificates of deposit with a 5 year term. The yield was 20 percent tax free and fully insured by the Government. Interest was always paid on time and the cd expired last March 2008. One week after the expiration I received the principal amount. Fantastic yield and good service ! The website is: http://themoneymakers.org/englishindex.html
And, to be honest: in the beginning I didn't trust it. The banks are located in the Philippines while I live in the Netherlands, although at this moment I'm in the Philippines enjoying my vacation. But a friend of mine, also a Dutchman, convinced me to take the step. He invested in the same cds in 2002, collected 20% per year and got back his principal in 2007. The point is that consumers in the Philippines don't mind paying 3% interest per month on loans. These are teachers and farmers and the like. That's a whopping 36% per year ! Of course the banks could easily pay 20% per year. Allthough the current rate is 18%. I discovered that the Philippines currently have a very solid banking system and that most banks are much richer than in my country, the Netherlands and in Europe. I have seen annual reports of rural banks showing assets worth billions of Pesos. Logical, because when the customer can't pay back the loan, a collateral is taken by the bank, mostly house and lots.
Sincerely

You should look at I bonds (just went to 4.8%), and see if you can get anything better. I Bonds have a constant rate and an inflation rate. |

There are no HIGH interest savings accounts. Stock market or a mutual fund are about your only choices. |
