If you invest in what people really need everyday ( food, wood and materials for housing. vineyards, expensive wood essences, you will an advantage the very rich will continue to buy just do research. however with the stocks volatility right now, i would refrain at the moment, same with housing as an investment, it is not the right time but property is a very good investment when it is a buyers market, if the interest rates keep going up, the housing market will be favorable again but not now.

Good research is the key

cheers.

This may be a safe way to invest money: Treasury Bonds — TreasuryDirect

This may be a safe way to invest money: Treasury Bonds — TreasuryDirect​

This is a good idea right now, since interest rates are on the rise. Another good investment is to shop around for a good high-yield savings account or even a certificate of deposit.

However, there are signs that the U.S. may be on the brink of financial collapse soon, so investing in crypto currency or gold or land may also be a good option. Index funds and lifecycle funds are a solid choice if the status quo remains. The key, according to Solomon, is to diversify your investments. What happens if the stock market goes up? What happens if it goes down? What happens if the economy collapses?

Wait for the price to be low, and buy into the investments that answer those questions. If you do, you'll be able to survive and thrive in spite of market ups and downs. You'll always have something to work with.

1. Know Your Money Game:
   • First things first, figure out what you're playing for. Are you saving up for a dream vacation, a new car, or retirement? Knowing your goals helps you play the investment game with a purpose.
2. Count Your Chips:
   • Take stock of your current financial situation. How much money do you have to throw into the investment pot? It's like checking your pockets before hitting the casino – gotta know what you're working with.
3. Build Your All-Star Team:
   • Pick your investment squad. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds – it's like choosing players for your fantasy sports team. Diversify a bit to spread the risk. No one wants to put all their money on a single horse, right?
4. Get a Playbook:
   • Educate yourself. Read up on different investment strategies. It's like studying the playbook before a big game. Knowledge is your best defense against fumbles.
5. Make It Rain, Gradually:
   • Don't go all in at once. Drip-feed your money into the market. It's like entering a hot tub – you ease in to avoid the shock. Dollar-cost averaging, they call it.
6. Keep an Eye on the Scoreboard:
   • Regularly check how your investments are doing. It's like checking the score during a basketball game. You want to know if you're winning or if it's time to change your game plan.
7. Weather the Storms:
   • Brace yourself for the market rollercoaster. It's like being on a wild ride at the amusement park. Sometimes it's a thrill, sometimes it's scary, but you hang on for the long haul.
8. Don't Be a Hoarder:
   • Know when to cash in some chips. It's like Monopoly – eventually, you want to trade those houses for hotels. Reap the rewards when the time is right.
9. Review and Adjust Your Play:
   • Regularly reassess your game plan. Like a team after a tough season, tweak your strategy based on your performance and the market conditions.
10. Enjoy the Game:

Edward Jones is offering 9 month CD"s at 5.4% interest, that is not to bad if a person has around 50,000 to invest with.

My dad tells me that us bank is offering a similar deal. I'd have to double check, but I'm pretty sure my current high-yield savings account is at 5.9%.

With the odds of an economic collapse it may be better to trade in high-yield savings accounts than CDs because the former allows for withdrawals without penalties. In the short-term, the rising interest rates are a wave to ride, but the higher the interest rate goes, the more interest the government has to pay on its debt and the closer it comes to insolvency.
