If you are not really experienced in the stock market, and you want little risk in the 10% to 20% lower risk level, I would do some Mutual Funds, funds are safe and they usually dont move that fast, and you get a nice return. But dont look for anything quick on doubling your money that fast. But in the long run it gives a great return. If you would like absolute safety practically no risk, A simple Money Market Account through your bank or finacial instition would be fine. If you are planning on doing any type of trades online choose Ameritrade, I use to be with Fidelity, and Fidelity kills you on trade costs, and monthly fees. Ameritrade is the lowest, and they dont charge you for quick out fees (buying and selling fast,I.E. Day trading)
There are some great off shore Money Market Accounts too, like the 1st Bank of St.Croix, i think currently today, there MMA interest was at 12.2%, that is at least 7% higher then any US MMA and you are not taxed, but the only downside is that it is not FDIC insured.
So its your money, have fun, oh and remember if it falls any lower then 8% of what you bought it at sell it. Dont hold on. Be smart responsible, and dont get cocky. Thats number 1. If you need any help just PM me, I am a intern at Salamon, Smith , Barney. Its my second hobby, come cars.
Oh and dont be afraid to ask people questions.
Hope I was some help
