Where would you invest your money to avoid the volatility of the stock market?
SouthJerseyGuy asked:
Stocks have been crazy this past year. Most recently, five drops of over 200-points in the Dow in the past two weeks. As of this writing, the Dow is up, but most mutual funds have started this year off in the negative. If you have money to invest, but want to avoid the ups and downs of the stock market, where would you invest? I want the best yield I can get for the risk.

Consider the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund with a current compound yield of ~4.64% APR.
If you are in a high tax bracket you may prefer their tax exempt money market funds:
Sometimes other institutions will have a higher teaser rate, but Vanguard tends to have the highest yields I’ve found over the long run. (Vanguard money markets are not FDIC insured, however.)

ING and HSBC often have rates close to Vanguard, and most of their products are FDIC insured. Bankrate.com provides links to CD’s with high interest rates as well as high interest rate banks. You can check these at the following links:
P.S. If you can stomach the volatility, a diversified no-load index fund will give you a greater return over the long run. If you can’t stand the volatility, try the above methods.
My choice income now and poss cap gains down the road.
For safety buy treasury bonds.
The market has always gone up.
