We'll be a wholly owned subsidiary, operating independently. No beaches for me.
My job gets to be a lot more fun, seeing as how I'm on the WFO side... woot woot
 
Water ETF's. Need some recos. Thought a couple people gave them a while back but that may have been in another thread. I'm thinking med-to-longterm.
 
Sold my GPRO, making a cool $5.5k. Wanted to wait, but this stock is volatile as ****. Was down to $11 just 2 weeks ago. Had to jump ship.

Nice work.
I bought a bunch when it was at around $10, but sold when it approached 11 because I was looking more closely at a REIT that I really like.
Wish I had stuck in it.
 
bump.

Question for you guys...

For the first time since the post-2008 collapse, I have some money I need to park somewhere. Pre-2008 there were a few places I had some cash that was making around 5% with very minimal risk. Those options seem much harder to come by. I'm looking, though.

Desires:
*I don't need immediate access to the cash, but I want to be able to get to fairly easily and without penalties.
*I want transparency. What am I investing in?

It's obviously been a while since I've done anything like this, so please enlighten me on anything else you think I should know.

Appreciate it.

I want to do a little trading like this soon. But I'm also trading on the energy market with some awesome returns, so I'm looking more for a safe long-term parking spot right now.
 
Most of the "safe" long term parking options aren't going to yield 5%.

You could try a bond fund, but those will take a hit by the end of the year because of the interest rate increase.

Pick a safe, blue-chip mutual fund that yields dividends. That's probably about as safe as you're going to get these days while still giving a decent return.
Here are a few to look at:
VYM
QDEF
FAGIX
FSMVX
BERIX
 
Just out of curiosity, is anybody retreating from bond funds due to the initial and upcoming interest rate increases?
