If your living in the US, you're going to be seeing a shit return with your current interest rates. You're much better off converting any money you don't need immediately into a foreign currency like AUD or maybe euro (dunno what the euro rate of return is like at the moment, I think it's 1-2% less than the AUD). You're going to see an extra 3-4% return on that money, plus the AUD/EURO will likely rally against the declining US dollar so you might see a bigger increase if you wait till the american dollar is in the shitter.

I wish the American dollar would strengthen - I remember when the AUD was trading at $0.49 per USD and it was friggin awesome because most if not all publishers pay me in USD. Now I gotta earn twice as much to see the same amount in my bank account.

Also, the ING USA division has a deal where if you deposit over $250 you get a $25 bonus. You need a promo code though, if anybody wants some lemme know.

Solid advice... a year ago.
 
My experience trying to sign up for an ETRADE savings account was so awful that I pulled the plug. I'm not handing my money over to anyone who employs the kind of incompetent BOOBS I had to deal with.

For the moment, my money is still in savings at ING, checking with Wachovia, stocks with Scottrade.

Really? How do you apply to only their banking products, though? Seems like you have to become a "member" before you can use anything, and their website says that requires being military or having a relative that is.

You will have to get a member number. It's a non-insurance elgible number. You have to call in for that, I believe (it's been a while)

DurkaDurka is actually on to something... Luxuries are the only commodity futures that NEVER fall during recessions, simply because the rich people continue to live the high life...

Personally, I'm of the opinion that if you're going to invest, find a solar panel manufacturer that has an export license/agreement to California (or the U.S. in general) and/or Australia.
They're soon going to have trouble keeping up with demands thanks to government rebates on solar paneling.

It's still solid advice if your looking for a relatively risk free cash investment. If you don't beleive me, what's your great idea?

While I agree things havn't "peaked" yet. I don't neccessarily agree this is the best course of action. One year ago sure.
 
Under the mattress, and also in the bank. A little credit union from my hometown gave me like 5.5%. ;)

I have USAA for checking, savings, credit card, stocks, mutual funds, car insurance, home owner insurance and retirement. 90% of my portfolio.

They totally rock if you can get in the door!

They were running a promotion to get non-military recently with a large min to get in the door.

Found this today :

Availability restrictions apply to purchase of certain products. Use of term "member" does not convey any legal, eligibility, or ownership rights. To remain eligible for auto and property insurance, military personnel must purchase auto or property insurance underwritten by USAA by December 31st of the year after they leave active, reserve, or NG military service. Once you meet eligibility requirements and purchase auto or property insurance underwritten by USAA, eligibility is generally ongoing. Eligible parent must purchase auto or property insurance for eligibility to pass to children. Eligibility may change based on factors such as marital status, rank, or military status.
USAA reserves the right to change eligibility guidelines at any time, without notice.
