Where are you putting your US Dollars? - GoFuckYourself.com

I have a $100K sitting in a 4.5% savings account, but inflation is going to turn it into

fast. Where/how are YOU safeguarding the value of your USD?

pocketkangaroo · 03-06-2008, 09:34 PM

Whoa, where you getting 4.5% in a savings account? I can't find any over 4%.

Well, they recently lowered their rates (again), but... https://bank.countrywide.com/

Now at 4.25%.

Yeah, I have some stashed away like that too, but the USD is devaluing so fast that it's really dumb to hoard Benjamins right now. Many people are jumping on gold, but I think that may be reaching its peak. (???) Wish I'd bought gold 6-9 months ago.

This is not a joke. I just took this picture with my cell phone while I was pinching one off.

I hope there's a bucket of petrol on fire on the ground catching that roll.

Found a few good buys in the stock market which is keeping me ahead overall about 50% this year so far... Really not sure what is a safe investment right now, I don't think realestate has finished dropping yet either.

lots of gun ammu, salt, water purification equipment

Kard63 · 03-06-2008, 10:51 PM

How does one go about putting it in a european bank if they live in the US? Do they pay similar interest rates ?

VikingMan · 03-06-2008, 10:52 PM

Buy gold on the big pullback that may be on its way. You can just use the Kitco pool account. Don't have that heavy yellow shit delivered as that is just plain stoopid. Plus you can sell in an instant if you wish.

Once it breaks and stays above $1k it should rise nicely after a few "tests".

The world is fucked in case you have not heard

paymeback · 03-06-2008, 11:26 PM

Wow 4.5% that sucks one savings account here in Australia i have upped their rate from 6.65% to 6.9% today

cheekycherry · 03-07-2008, 12:11 AM

Well, I lose value when I convert them to pounds. I lose value when I buy houses. I lose value when I buy shares.

Everything is fucked. SOoooooooooooooooooooooo...

My answer? Forget investments for now and concentrate on building my business - then when the good times come round again, I'll decide where to stick them.

Eva PSC · 03-07-2008, 12:16 AM

i hear silver is even better to invest in

I forgot about them. I guess with the troubles they've been having, I was a little skeptical about using them. I'm currently at ING.

Sloane · 03-07-2008, 03:28 AM

Park your money in New Zealand...interest rates are high there. You can get 8.80% at the moment through WestPac NZ. Nice stable country with the backing of a large Australian bank. Very safe..
Rates

Not sure if they have a US dollar account, may have to convert into NZ dollars..

WebCashMaker · 03-07-2008, 03:40 AM

What about Steel and Copper ?
Since China and India are still building like crazy and need a lot of it.
