Secure Returns: Where To Invest Safely For Yield
Stocks are collapsing again!
And interest rates are hitting new highs!
As much as I love dividend investing, we’re at a point where savings accounts and low-risk bonds are paying more than stocks. And without the same levels of risk.
Here are three safe havens for growing your money.
1. A Reputable High-Yield Savings Account
A Capital One savings account currently yields 3.40% per year.
Ally Financial is offering 3.60%.
And Citi pays 3.85%.
While none of these yields are spectacular, your money is FDIC insured up to the first $250,000.
And, there are situations where holding dollars is a good investment.
While the USA is suffering from high inflation, other currencies are doing worse. If you live abroad, your dollars can appreciate against the local money — increasing your buying power while you collect interest, too.
I’ve actually talked to several Turkish and Argentinian friends, and simply holding U.S. Dollars is a common inflation hedge in both countries.
