What is a safe investment?

Answer by  withsmluck (793)

Saving accounts are your safest investment, earning less interest than more risky investments. Next would be certificates of deposit (FDIC insured! ) Stocks and mutual funds are likely to yield more profit, but more risky. Real estate is a good investment, but requires time, effort and knowledge to control the risks.

The safest investment is a savings account in a bank that pays interest. US debt securities ( T notes and bills ) are very safe with small returns.

A safe investment is anything that is FDIC insured. The next safest investment would be in U. S. Treasuries. Real Estate is kind of sale long term also.
