Dhurt | Would you open a CD for $10,000 or invest it in some other way? |
What's the best way to invest $10,000? |

CD's are crap. Some of these other answers, sheesh. CD's are not good for emergency dollars, as you are committed to keeping the money in for a certain length of time, or you pay a penalty. Instead, put the money into a High Yield Money Market account. There are plenty of online Bank accounts, such as the Capital One High Yield Account, where you earn over 5% interest. There are no time commitments at all- so I can't see committing your money for an extra .1% return, it just doesnt make a lot of sense. As others have said, if your emergency account is filled (about 6 months worth of expenses, in case you were to lose your job and not find another, that way you could make it for at least 6 months), then sinking the money into a decent STOCK mutual fund is a good way to go- the market has averaged an 11% return over the years, and stock mutual funds are the least risky way to go after that type of return. |

First put as much as you can into an IRA or Roth IRA. Then get some index funds with low expense ratios. |

It always depends on your situation. Personally, I would prefer a GNMA fund to a CD... The risk is minimal, with a better return, and more liquidity. |

CD.... absolutely not. Put it in a high yielding savings account where you'lll make much more money in interest. Check out INGDirect, IGObank. Or a nice Money Market Fund. CDs are garbage. You can't touch the money without paying a penalty. |

Depends on your Total financial situation.
First, establish an emergency fund of 3 to 6 months of expenses. You may want to keep this in a savings account...........
Tip: www.fnbodirect.com is now paying 5.05 % interest on their online savings account. I have had a savings account with them for 1 yr and have had no problems with them. |

Depends on your financial situation. Your FIRST $10,000 should go into a CD, for your emergency fund.
If you've got $15,000 or $20,000 sitting in your bank account (or other cd's), I'd open up a schwab account and put it in some no-load mutual funds. |

CD is safest. a good mutual fund would be next. |

If you only have $10,000 to invest I would do a CD. I would wait till you had a little more before I started to invest in the stock market. remember..never invest more than you can afford to loose! good luck!! |

Definitely invest it elsewhere, but it's only because
1. I know better and have done my homework
2. I've quite responsible for saving.
If you're not a risk take, a CD of most or all of your money is not a bad idea, it's little but at least safe.
The way I see it is, in CD, $10,000 will give you $500 in a year, that's barely more than $1.30 a day, or less than $2 every working day. You'd save more than $500 (especially when you spend way more than $10,000) by simply shopping around for essentials, or buying things in bulk.
So why let somebody hold your $10,000 for something you can do yourself with little effort? In short, you can save the $500 on your own and still have $10,000 at your disposal any time (while your search for a better investment). |

It depends on your risk tolerance. Most people will take it 50/50 putting 5k in CDs and 5k in a more risky investment. |
