Long-term bonds historically return about 6%.
If you have an assload of money and have access to them, you can consider hedge funds, private equity, or other specialized stuff. |

Vintage guitars and amps.
They have gone up fast than real estate in the past 20 years and are staying there. in 1980, you could get a 59 Les Paul gold top for under $5000 or so of today's dollars. Today, that guitar fetches more than x10 that price! |

Machine guns. I average WAY over 5% and have made more $$ with them than my stock portfolio (the conservative one anyway).

I have an Orange savings account from ING Direct at 4.5% with no minimums, and it is compleatly liquid and linked to my checking account for quick transfers. Some other online banks offer this as well, some are up to 5.0% now. Most offer CD's as well with higher rates.

Long term or Short term? What's your risk factor? Load or No-load? How much do you have for an initial investment? Are you willing to pay taxes on the dividends or are you looking for a shelter? Guns, Antique cars, Uranium? WTF? If your looking for off the shelf investments buy Canadian Maple Leafs. If your willing to risk your stash play penny stocks. Go to the library and check out a dozen books or so. wishyaluck! |

Wildcat oil wells. Junk bond mutual funds might not grow 5%, but they'll return you around 9%. Growth is a bonus. Look at T. Rowe Prices high yield bond fund. I put in some $$$$$$ when it was about $6 a share. It's grown (gravy) nicely, plus pays monthly dividend checks. |

Exactly. There's lot of shit out there, probably 100+ different things we could name. For a random pick, buy some discount notes. Or tax liens. Both can yield 10%+ pretty easily, but you need to know what you are doing and need to be proactive. I once made 6,000% on my money in 24 hours on an investment I had maybe 10 minutes of time in. What are you good at? What do you know? |

It's not my thread, but: Short term (4 months tops). Low to medium risk (no securities). $200,000-$250,000 investment. Taxes don't matter if the gain is high enough. I'd go for a 4-5% savings if you haven't got any other suggestions for me. =) |
