How do i invest my money safely?

The first poster is correct. Bonds (or Treasury Bills, T-Bills) are the safest investment. They are considered risk free, and they're currently paying in the high 4-5% range.

However, you can get a better return for just a slight increase in risk... you don't need to be entirely conservative.

I'm sure there's a lot of ways and I also know that putting your 401K, Roth IRA to a fix account could give you a safety net in this volatile market. Try buying US Treasury bonds too, like I Bonds.
Hope this helps you...

Government bonds are probably safest.

try roth iras or government bonds. something that has a pretty steady interest rate which wont fluctuate very much. you might also want to try cd investments.

It is also a good way to by raw materials like natural gas or copper index. just a little bit take risk, but the results are better. Make portfolio with Bonds, raw material indexes and a little bit of shares on a huge company like APPLE

Safe money = money worth less (over long periods of time) because of inflation and taxes. You'll have less "buying"power with Savings & CD's and some bonds in 20 years.

Learn investing. Read a couple of books to start. It's worth the time.

T-bill are a LOT saver than government bonds. And the interest if exempt from state and local taxes. You can buy them directely from the government. Here is the link.

The US dollar is a breath away from a collapse. You say you don't believe it? Ask the Argentinians what happened to them when they went through hyperinflation. 60% unemployment, etc. The best thing to own now is money. Not cash, but silver and gold, and other equities. When I say own, you actually possess the equity, in your hands. Some people might say "just buy certificates", but what if the company holding your assets goes out of business, and sells your asset to pays it's creditors? It's happened before! Therefore, best investment = Hard Money.

Hold EZM for 2 years and you will find the best investment on the planet.
