is it possible to get a safe 7-10% return on your money?
 

I have most of my money in a money market fund getting 3.75% the rest is in real estate and gold. Im pretty young so i should probably be taking more risks but i worked hard to get what i got so i don't want to lose it.

Anyone here getting a safe 7-10% return on your money? If so what are you doing?

Thanks!

i bet youd make more gambling :) its really stable :thumbsup

(just joking)

haha tried that, i always seem to lose :sadcrying

With the current inflation rate, maybe you should think about taking bigger risks.

Gold. :thumbsup

Annual returns between 8-13%, depending on current market pricing. And dividends are paid monthly.

Look into insured city bonds.
Edit I forgot, do not just pay attention to the percentage yield, look at the tax advantages as well.

There are some tax free bonds going for 6.5% - 8.5% !

buy some index funds, sp500 for example, spy or ivv

good picks!
i have about 20% of assets in ACG for the last 5 years.....easy $$

Invest in commercial real estate in a growth market like Austin, Texas....I've reallized an 8% return over the past 30 years.

Yes a hundred percent there is buy a share of Warren Buffets. Bershire Hathaway. Only prob it is like 88k a share!

class b shares are only $2980 BRKb.

if you want to keep some cash in a risk free savings account, insured by the FDIC, I would recommend www.HSBCDirect.com - 4.5% APY

INGDirect is another choice. I think they're roughly competitive with HSBC. Both are multinational, gigantic banks that invest funds outside the US where returns are much greater.

I've been with INGDirect for about 6 months, and they've raised the interest rate they're paying me 3 times. And absolutely no fees, everything is linked to your checking account at whatever bank you use for regular transactions.
