Higher rates make investments other than equities look more attractive - what are the other investments?

I read this in an article and was curious what are the other investments - other than equities

fordex, foreign currency exchange. very risky, and long returns. any good investment firm can guide you, some take as little as $500. many banks also have investment brokers. its best to have a mix between stocks, bonds, and something like a IRA. always balance the risk and returns before investing. never invest more than you are willing to lose.

Bonds, notes, bond funds, CD's and money market funds. Some of these will not lose any equity, while being assured of a fixed rate of return.

Lies.

please log on to "www.questnet" low investment and high returns

The following are investments OTHER than equities or ownership shares:

1. Savings deposit
2. Time deposit
3. Money market fund/placement (inquire with your bank)
3. Treasury notes/bills issued by the gov't (risk free)
4. Notes / Bonds of a company. This involves varying degree of risk depending on the company's credit standing. But of course, the higher the risk, the higher the return.
5. Gambling (if you consider that an investment. Again, high returns involve high risks!)
