I have mine invested in mutual funds through the US Gov't, my employer. It's called the Thrift Savings Plan. It does generally good.

The key to stock investing is to purchase and ride it out. Unless you have the time and resources to play with it continuously.

ING Direct. Conservative, yes, but it's always growing and I never lose anything because of what consumer confidence is like or how much debt Americans carry.

I believe the key to investing is to have a widely and globally diversified portfolio - both equities and fixed income. People who own a handful of stocks at any point are taking on a huge amount of risk and are going to end up losing sooner or later.

The only things my money's invested in are the bank and college...lol. And those aren't great investments, especially the second one.

Our home and retirement plans. We only owe a mortgage, our sailboat and cars are paid off. I have been more into reducing our debt before investing other than retirement funds.

my money's in my college education...and some in ING. if anyone wants to open up an ING account of their own and make $25 for doing so, let me know. :)

Owning a home, no morgage is my investment. No Auto notes, next adjenda. Thats all for now, then start think about other things. Not haveing monthly notes is great.

I have no money! My home will be paid off in 5 years. I always pay cash for beater vehicles.
Since my pension got slashed I am hoping to have enough to cover the mortgage and utilities until my ebay takes off.
