    It depends on what you are looking for. If you simply what a savings account, then ING direct is not a bad place…they offer 3% interest on savings accounts…which is about what you can get anywherer else. If you are looking to build an investment portfolio, which is a great idea, sharebuilder, fidelity, or charles schwab are other great choices. Personally, I use ING direct for my savings, IRA, and sharebuilder for my investing. Just to less complicate things. But, again…if it’s just a simple savings account you are looking for…go with the one that will offer something around 3-3.5% interest, since that is as high is it’s going to be. Good luck!

    Ing Direct is a great bank. It’s totally free and even an pretty good interest rate on their checking account.http://www.jr-quality.com/ING-Direct/dir…

  • Thinking of investing your savings?


    While increasing your savings is good, multiplying your money through smart investments feels great - there are lots of opportunities out there and you can be successful if you're arming yourself with the right information.

    Where to start?

    If you're going to try your luck on the stock market or trading options, first start by learning the basics and delay as much as possible buying real positions. One way of getting hands-on experience with the markets is through online trading - either forex or binary options are good learning grounds and most online brokers offer trial accounts free of charge (if you're wondering what are binary options, 24option.com has very good resources on it, besides offering a free practice account and a wealth of information about binary trading in general). Final warning for the very eager: binary options are exotic financial instruments; real trading involves substantial risk of monetary loss.
