any suggestions for low risk investments?
 

I'm invested in mostly stocks & a bit of bonds with my long term investments (i'm under 30 and bullish) but I need a better investment with my emergency cash.

My money market account is a safe vehicle and allows my cash to become available quickly but the returns are terrible (about 3%) so I'm looking for something else.

Any ideas of where to invest 10k in emergency cash so it's relatively secure, available quickly and earns a bit more than my money market?

3% money market? Where?

put it in AirTran

you'll double in about 4 months

Well the rate varies, i signed up cuz they said it averages 4%, but i don't think i'm getting anywhere near that since i'm only making about $2.50 a month, sometimes less than a buck....3% might be overestimating...let me dig up exactly which one i picked, i just know it's through ameritrade.

short Acacia?

ok brad, it's The Reserve Funds, Primary Fund, looks like they have 83% invested in COD's from around the world. Only 15% is domestic.

I'm scared that thing might keep going up! Bubble isn't ready to burst yet....besides shorting a stock is hardly a safe investment!

Once cases start going to court and webmasters start winning it may start dropping like a rock, your 10k could turn into 100k in a couple of months. But yea, not the safest investement. :)

what is emergency cash?

Cellphone companies... either US or European. Vodafone would be my pick!:thumbsup
