Which Is The Good And Safest Way To Invest Money In Usa Apart From Savings Bank?

External Contributor — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 06:39:37 +0000

Safe is a pretty relative term. There are a variety of options available for anyone. Savings accounts typically yield a low interest rate however hsbcdirect.com and emigrantdirect.com both pay around 5% for a savings account and are FDIC insured. That is the safest I know. Outside of that the top three safest options would be: 1. money market account / CD 2. bonds 3. S&P 500 index funds
If you don’t need the money for at least 5 years check out an S&P Index fund from either Vangaurd or Fidelity.
Good luck and consult a financial planner if you have more questions.
