Where is the safest place to invest your money in a recession?

Asked by pbucelwicz on August 19, 2008

Simple question right? I am not watching the market everyday trying to time it. I’m an average young professional looking for long term growth. Currently I am investing in my tax deferred 401k at my company, my Roth IRA, Brokerage account, and MMA.

Within these accounts is there a sector which would protect what I currently have for a while? Foreign, Bonds, MMA etc. Saving my money in my MMA is almost a wash with the rate of inflation. I am getting about 4% APY, and inflation seems higher than that. My funds in my IRA, and 401k have gone down about 15-20%. Do I just sit tight and hope for a rebound? or do I move into safer funds for the time being?

Short-term high yield CD?

Asked by ccastracane on January 16, 2008

I’m looking for a short-term (~4 month) high yield CD. My current CD with Bank of America will mature in a few days and it had a 5.45% APY… I can renew this CD at 4.80% APY but am wondering if anyone knows of a better one!Thanks!
