What safe investment instruments are out there that yield 7-8% without fully accepting all risk with equities?

You can't get a return higher than the risk free rate without accepting some risk. Focus on what you can control(transaction costs, taxes)

You may contact an investment advisor at websites like http://oktutorial.com/debtadvice.htm .

Government bonds or a plain old bank. Mutual funds can go between 15-20% with relative low risk, but some education is required.

But seriously...I started stocks in Janurary-ish this year, and I've already gotten about 33% return. Education is so available, you might as well try it. There are a few really good books.

Nothing. Only junk bonds carry that rate. Stock mutual funds will probably provide 8-10% over time.

I know a company currently offering 16% annually without risk.
