Roth for long term and CD for short term gaining.

Best way to invest 10000?
It is hard to answer this question without knowing your situation and what your long and short term goals are for this money.

yea depends on what your goals are I guess. I'm looking to buy a new house soon, so I threw 10k into 2 different CD's with 4.5%
I also opened and maxed out a Roth a couple weeks ago. I haven't heard a negative thing about it

where did you get a cd w/ 4.5%?
Posted on 7/28/08 at 2:04 pm to lsutigers11
You can easily get some around 5%. Look on bankrate.com or bankingmyway.com

Cap One also has a new Savings account that pays 3.5% (min balence $10,000)

spend some of it to get very good investment advice from professionals and then follow it. I started with 10k 6 weeks ago and now have 24k. I made 21% today! cd's and savings accounts will guarantee that your money will slowly erode to inflation.

Just like a lot of things in life, it depends on your goals and where are you currently.
If you're 25 and have (with any luck) several decades in front of you, it's hard to go wrong with buy and hold in a Roth or 401.
If you're 60 and have plenty already, spend it on booze and loose women. 10K probably isn't a big deal to you.
If you're 60 and have little or nothing, probably the best thing is to either give it away (so you can qualify for subsidies) or bet everything on a spin of the roulette wheel.

im 24 years old. plan on going back to school in 2 years to quadruple my salary. the schooling is 2.5 years long. this is relevant because i plan on saving for the long term when i get out of graduate school. So i am looking at short term investing. The reason for asking is that I am in agreance that money in cd's and money market's just lose to inflation. I feel that I am not really making money, but that the american dollar is just getting weaker. I may have no choice but to go with a cd though. found one through gmac bank with 4.15 interest. what you think of that?

What degree and graduate school? Never heard of a graduate school besides MDs that can do that much damage unless your making like 30k now!

Stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, annuities, mutual funds, money market funds, et al. Mutual funds would probably be your best bet for long term. Depends on your situation.

agree totally. money market acounts may not yield much better than cd's but they are liquid and your money is not locked up. BTW, what did you invest in?

I trade options. Very volitale, when I go out on my own ideas I lose. When I stick to what my paid expert tells me to do I make from 20% to 65% returns in about a week or less. I get a pick to trade each week. It has been the best money I have ever spent. It paid its annual fee in the first trade!!!

Stock options or commodity options? I never cared for options. I would much rather just go long or short on a commodity. But hey, whatever works ride it out.
