G.I.R | Would it be smart to put $20 to $50 a week into saving bonds.? |
if so how fast will they grow. I'm thinking of around 6 to 10 years. will they double or will I have to invest into one every few weeks to make it grow at any rate.
will it just be smarter to keep the money in a saveings account.
Additional Details
I just went to a website that said that if I put $100 a month into a saveings bond for 10 years. at 3% interest I'll only earn but $2,109 over a 10 year streatch of time. |

Without having more information about your personal information, such as age, current income and other data such as risk tolerance, martial status, and demographics it would be very inappropriate for me or any other person to provide specific information in this type of media
This would be a very riskless investment for you
Riskless yes, practical - no
You have a very good game plan, and if you keep to you would have a very successful program.
But in all honesty I think you should look into the world of mutual funds. .
There are thousands of people just like you that are, or were looking to invest and those that did buy Mutual Funds. One purpose of mutual funds is to help investors like you, who are either just entering the investment world or who have no experience investing.
Fund companies have an entire array of products many will fit your needs.
You can go to the MSN.Money website it has an entire section on mutual funds. Read about the various funds and in doing so you will be getting investment ideas and at the same time educating yourself about investing.
You could also contact the funds companies for more information. I have found that Vanguard & Fidelity can meet your needs. The service and information they provide is all free and you will find it helpful. And remember, keeping you money in a bank or bank product is not investing. |

No open a Roth IRA and put $200 a month into a good mutual fund, historical returns are about 10% a year. This would be the best thing for long term savings. A 3% rate of return is less then the rate of inflation. Your money will actually be worth less 10 years from now (in terms of buying power that is). |

I have no idea what this fixation is everyone has with savings bonds. They are perhaps not the worst investment on the face of the earth but come very close nevertheless.
There is a plus side to savings bonds, you can invest in I bonds which are indexed to the artificial government inflation rate which is about 1/2 the actual rate. But it is a decent way to accumulate capital in small increments if you do not mind the fact that you actually will not be making any money after taxes. |

at this point it would be smarter to put your money into a savings account. reason being since the federal funds rate is low the yield of bonds are low (so are savings rates). however the savings rates can go back up (and will once we emerge from the recession) but bonds will keep paying you poor rate that they did before |

Savings bonds are very low yielding investments. You would be better off putting $200/month into Vanguard S&P 500 index fund. |

There are two types of savings bonds. Series E and Series I.
E bonds are sold at half price then mature to face value over time. (A $50 bond costs $25 and then matures to $50 over a span of five to ten years) Afterwards it will not earn any more interest. A Series I bond is priced at face value and then earns interest through time with continued interest gains until you redeem them. (There is a penalty if you attempt to redeem before a period of five years) You can purchase savings bonds at your bank. Go to the government web site for more information about bonds. |

You can do better than savings bonds, at least a CD would do better. |
