good low risk short term investment for 100K
Posted on 1/3/15 at 8:21 am
Posted on 1/3/15 at 8:21 am
I have 100k that will be spent over the next 4-5 months on a renovation, and taken out in draws. I hate for it to just sit in a savings account. But I don't want to lose very much of it, if any. I'm not the most knowledgable when it comes to the stock market. Is there anything you would recommend to make even a small gain short term without the risk if a potential big loss? TIA

You will be looking at less than 1% in 5 months for a low risk play.

Oh, I thought he wrote 4-5 years!
Yeah, there's not much you can do.
Buy DBO and hope oil doesn't go any lower.
You can't elimate risk in a 4-5 month time frame. It's impossible.

Put it in an Ally savings account, get your 1% APY and like it.

Foolish to risk the money if you know you are going to need it in such a short period.
I agree with a savings account or short term CD.

i am interested in why someone would recommend a long bond fund now.
Rates can't go lower and seem headed higher making bonds cheaper.

I read a book that promotes ~70/30 stock/bond allocation with annual rebalancing. That doesn't mean I understand how bonds work. Thanks for the insight.

I would spread it between a few rewards checking accounts. UCB offers like 2% on up to 25,000. I think Dow Credit union offers 3% but only up to 10,000.

As rates go up bond values fall. The longer the bond the more volatile. Certain types of bonds react differently but the vast majority behave this way.
