Low risk investments - Trading-Lab

I'm looking to park some of my trading stake in some low risk investment vehicles. I'm gonna put it in my savings account for now. However, I'm sure that there are other more rewarding places to put your money to work. Does anyone have any other idea?

hmmm…first thing coming to mind when you say "low risk" would be T-Bills! Have you looked into that? I think CDs from a reputable bank or T-Bills are your best bet here. You can go with corporate bonds too, but risk increases a bit.

for every additional unit of reward, you should expect a comparable increase in your risk. There's no free lunch. As markb said, I would stick with CDs or T-Bills.

CDs will normally get you 5% a year. Thats a good return for not doing any work; and its insured by the federal government.

ING and HSBC have some great money market rates for small accounts. In some cases, will rival CD's.
