I think we would all like to discuss a 13% GUARANTEED investment fund.
Why not just post it here?

I'd like to know where you can get guaranteed 13% fixed without risk. Tell
me more.

There are investment funds which give 13% Returns, fixed and
guaranteed. Beats CD's, mutual funds and no loss of money. However,
this is only if your outlook is for atleast a year. Drop me a message
if you want to discuss this.

Investing is about being realistic and having a long term plan. When
you have done some more study,.you can in time become a savvy investor
and try moving towards slightly more aggressive investing, perhaps the
stock markets or forex markets.

You raise a good point. If I wanted more return, I would be tempted
to *reduce* my safe cash holdings, and invest that money in equities,
say.

Keeping my cash as safe. Rather than taking risks with my cash.

Another solution would be to invest in securities paying a higher rate
of interest in another currency eg New Zealand or Iceland.

However you would then be fully exposed to exchange rate risk. Last
March, the Icelandic currency nearly had a horrendous crash. The high
Icelandic interest rate reflects that risk.

You really can't escape risk and return in this world. More return,
more risk.

Money Market Funds.

However risk and return go together. If a MMF is paying much above
the market rate, the odds are it is doing something with derivatives
to enhance yield-- this increases yield but also increases risk.

My second link showed all the peers sorted by best yearly total
return. Haven't looked closely at it recently, but best not to take a
strictly cherry-picking approach. The funds vary in strategy
(duration?) so that they randomly swap between the good to the bad
section based on things like falling or rising rates. And the very
high and low flyers may violate the spirit of the approach. Look at
longer term returns and dig a little deeper on their strategy.

Interesting. I looked up the first link and when I
went to the "performance" section, it looks like this
fund is trailing the index and its peers. How do I
find the peers that are able to perform as well
as the category?

If you aren't stuck in the fetish that a tiny % of potential capital
loss would be a disaster, then suck in bigger yields rather
brainlessly with bank loan funds such as http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=ffrhx
or http://news.morningstar.com/fundReturns/FundReturns.html?category=$FOCA$BL

Better in what ways? Anything better than T-bills will mean more
risks. Are you willing to put your emergency cash at risk?

I am putting my cash, which is for emergency and down-market needs in
T-Bills and CD's paying about 5.5%. Any ideas of better place to park money?
