Best short term liquid investments?

You can use them for margin as well.

 

Thanks guys, I will look into your recommendations.

 

what is all this crap about safe investing on ET??? Has this become a nursing home for aging traders

 

aging? I'm 27. Is that old now?

 

the dudes got 50k of safe money he doesn't want to risk. he does his risking trading. i have substantial money in cd's and money markets. that's my safe money that no matter what happens in the market it's there. i have a wifeand kids so it's my duty to be able to support them no matter what happens in the market. people who risk all there money in the market won't be trading very long

 

Well said Joey!

 

Real Estate for you: 50K is a nice Down payment on an income producing property. A rental house or a duplex.

 

Best short term liquid investments

 

Steve's bio says he lives in N.Y.C.

You'll have a better chance winning the lottery than finding a cash flow positive property anywhere near N.Y.C.

 

Yeah, not liquid enough for what I am looking for.
