Safest way to invest money?

Buy a CD from a federally insured bank (in the USA anyway)

Try Treasury Bonds, notes or bills. These are issued by US government. Safest way to earn interest / return. This has a great advantage over CD and that is if you need money before meturity date you can easily sale it.

This comes from 4 weeks to 30 years.

Give it to me! I guarantee you'll never see it again! 100% guarantee on that!
Kidding, go with a CD or US Treasury Bonds.

The absolutely safest way to invest money is to buy a U.S. Treasury bill, note or bond. They are backed by the full taxing and borrowing power of the U.S. government. The principal can't be lost and the interest is always the same, unless the U.S. government goes broke. Their safety is the reason that foreign countries invest their trade surpluses in U.S. Treasury securities, in spite of higher rates available elsewhere. Bank CD's from banks that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are the second safest investment because they are backed as to principal and interest by an agency of the U.S. government. They also typically pay slightly higher interest than Treasuries.

government bonds. the government is not going under any time soon so investing in it is the safest way to get a return on your money

become a prophet,then you could accept money and invest from that also...you will be happy always,cause you will see God.

The absolute safest? Wrap it up in plastic, put it in a coffeecan, and bury it in your backyard----no investment income, but very safe! (All investments have some degree of risk.)

If it's money you need more than 10 years from now any bank CD will lose you "buying power" (inflation & taxes).
