What about US Bonds, and CDs? 3 months.?

OK, I have been in banking for 13 years and I cannot understand your question- Am going to try to explain what\nI THINK I understood. \n3 month cd or treasury bills, the rate you are quoted is the APY 4% - that is the annual percentage yield - the interest you would make on that money if it was to stay in that account for 12months at that rate. But since it is a 3- month, you will have to take the money out and invest it in something else. You cannot compound it because the deal expires after 3 months - Now does that make sense ?

The bonds have an interesting history, but retain value only as collector items.\n\nThe bond issue was largely subscribed by Poles living in the US, and was subsequently converted at least once to bonds that became due in 1958.  Because they were largely bought in the US, this is about the only place you will find them.  Because they were converted the original issues are rare.\n\nAccording to the second source I link, they have no financial value and can no longer be redeemed in any form.\n\nBut one bond in Fine condition is listed in my third link for $120 (go down about a third of the way to "POLAND; bonds & shares").

You have up to three months to fill it. Once you fill it, it expires one year from that date

In order for it to be an investment-- there must be risk and reward. CD and money markets are NOT investments since the Principal amount is guaranteed by the bank or SIPC. The ONLY investment that should be considered "safe" are U.S. Government securities. The U.S. Government has NEVER DEFAULTED on any ISSUE. Now the rate of return is not that great but the returns are exempt from the IRS.  The returns can be taxed by the state.\nI am a Former Regestered Principal with the NASD & NYSE Firm

It depends what you invest in. US t-bonds will give you about 5%, German bonds 8%, and Brazil 12.5% or so (no capital gains taxes in Brazil either!). Of course, as you can guess, though, the higher the reward, the higher the risk.

You can choose to roll it over for another 12 or 24 months. I believe the interest rates are better this year too, or you can draw it out. I don't think at your age there is any penalty.

I suggest you to start with as much money as you can to retire early.\n\nOpen a brokerage and margin account at Ameritrade.com today.\n\nIf you want to get a higher yield than CDs you need to invest in ETFs, Mutual Funds and Stocks.\n\nDrop me a line if you need more detailed information.

Yes, but you won't receive the fuill value. After only a month, you will probably only get what was paid for the bond.

It's going to take a long time.  I would write all 3 credit reporting agencies and see what you can do.  If you need to buy something in the next 5-7 years you may have to rely on a friendly relative with good credit until you get it all paid off.

Go to bankrate.com and look for rates on savings and CDs.  ING direct has high rates but there are others with even higher rates.

If you dont plan on touching the money for a while, a CD would be good. They have interest rates around 4 percent.

Hmmm. Sasha is right...and Richard is probably a taxable guy.\nMunis trading at "par and 3/4" are trading at 100.75, ie, Sasha is right.\n\nMunis don't trade in 32nds, govies do. Even corps trade in decimals and 1/8ths.\n\nIn answer to the question, trading at par and 3/4 means 100.75. So, if you are buying 100 bonds, you would be paying a net of $100,750.00 plus accrued interest.

It's a lottery type thing. Not on the shores of the US--that should cause you some concern. Their website says you get your return on investment in two years.
