I accumulated a nice chunk of additional capital over the years and I'm now in the process of looking for new creative investment ideas? Does anyone have any investment ideas they would like to share? I'm not looking to get my hands on your trading secrets

..just looking around for additional ways to make my money work for me!

what kind of return do you have in mind? If you are looking for US dollar denominated investments, CDs look very interesting now.

Go to http://bankrate.com/ to shop for the best CD rates around. Since we are all expecting the FED to tighten sooner than later, you may want to consider picking longer term CDs (up to 5 year) to lock in current interest rates...

how about investing in Master Limited Partnerships? Not for the faint hearted though… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_limited_partnership

you may also want to consider high-dividend stocks like utilities, etc. you get a stream of dividend payments which can be reinvested AND some long term capital gain from stock price appreciation.
