looking into a six month cd at e-trade @ 5.25%
don't really know what else to do with it...I'm looking for safe/conservative ideas...

I would love to be able to get 8-10% on it...but I have no idea where to look since I'm new to investing...

guys...please present some ideas for me...

5.25 is not worth it as you can get citibank esavings at around 4.75 and can take your money in and out anytime you want.

Look for a solid mutual fund for 8-10%.

Plenty of energy/oil trusts yielding 10% + a year plus rising with the commodity bull market.

Right now, if you are under 50 yo, cds are about the last place you want to be keeping your wealth.

A year ago I could have turned your 20k into 38k in 3 days.

The first 550 should go on the St L Cards over 84.5 wins -110 at OLY
{over 85 -120 Piny}. That might be the easiest money you ever make.

Will let you know about the rest later, though their 21% initial deposit
bonus should be tempting for a large chunk of it.

After that's rolloed over some might WD and deposit at BJ for another
juicy 20%, and so on.

Pig, stick with the CD you mentioned. 6 mos is over before it began. Play it safe which is a far cry from the advice in here.

Haha, dump it all into SIGA Technologies (NASDAQ: symbol SIGA)

That's just me, I'm crazy like that.

Good luck with whatever investment you choose.

cd or mutual fund I would just stick with a cd for conservative. If you want long term invest in a blue chip stock that pays a dividend
