These questions range from: "What are the safest money investments available?" to "What are the best high yield safe investments?" -- but they all involve the central themes of low risk and asset security for safe investing.

But there's one catch! Before you can gain access to the most lucrative investments available, you have to meet certain qualifications. If you qualify, an exciting new world of opportunities awaits you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;According to Wikipedia, "&lt;strong&gt;R&lt;/strong&gt;eturn &lt;strong&gt;O&lt;/strong&gt;n &lt;strong&gt;I&lt;/strong&gt;nvestment" (also known as &lt;strong&gt;ROI&lt;/strong&gt; or "&lt;a title="Return on Investment" rel="nofollow" class="exlnk" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_return" target="_blank"&gt;Rate of Return&lt;/a&gt;") is the ratio of money gained or lost on an investment relative to the amount of money invested. Return on investment is a common benchmark, expressed as a percentage, that is used by investors to evaluate how their investments are performing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;It may surprise you to learn that most investors in the U.S. do not currently have access to (or even know about) many of the most lucrative investment opportunities available -- and this is mandated by Federal Law!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, a select group of people who meet certain qualifications under this law have access to a spectrum of investments with extraordinary return on investment potential that most investors wouldn't believe possible AND will also never see.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;QUESTION: &lt;em&gt;What is the "world's simplest way" to maximize your portfolio return on investment?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ANSWER: &lt;em&gt;Determine if you qualify as an "Accredited Investor"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Surprisingly, there are a lot of people who qualify as Accredited Investors that don't even know it! Also, most people don't know what the term means or the benefits associated with being an Accredited Investor. But as mentioned earlier, if you do meet the qualifications, a whole new array of investments are available to you. And, the potential return on investment for most of these will rock your world!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On the flip side, if you don't qualify, you will never hear about these investments. And the reason for this is because it is actually illegal for investment companies and financial advisors, according to the Federal Securities Act of 1933, to share information about them with Non-Accredited Investors.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BACKGROUND:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After the stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing "Great Depression", the US Congress decided that it needed to institute tighter controls on the investment securities industry and financial markets. So, in 1933, the Securities Act of 1933 was passed. One component of this act defines the qualifications required for investors to participate in certain types of investment securities based upon their personal net worth and income levels. Those persons who meet these qualifications are known as "Accredited Investors".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEFINITION OF AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the United States, for an individual to be considered an Accredited Investor, they must have a &lt;a title="Net worth calculator" rel="nofollow" class="exlnk" href="http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/networth/networth.html" target="_blank"&gt;Net Worth&lt;/a&gt; of at least one million US dollars or have made at least $200,000 gross income each year for the last two years ($300,000 combined with his or her spouse's income if married) and have the expectation to make the same amount in the current year.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEXT STEPS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you meet the qualifications above, you should get together with your Financial Adviser right away. Tell them that you qualify and would like to be made aware of all current and future investment opportunities to which only Accredited Investors have access.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you do not have a Financial Advisor, you should get one soon to learn how to maximize your portfolio's return on investment with the spectrum of investment opportunities now available to you!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMPORTANT NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;One pitfall to be aware of when dealing with most Financial Advisors is that they will typically restrict the investments that they share with their investors (Accredited or not) to the investments offered by their company (the ones they earn commission on). And most often, they will only deal in "Traditional Investments" like stocks, bonds and mutual funds. As a result, you will never hear about investment opportunities in real estate, precious metals, commodities and other "Alternative Investments" because the Financial Advisor won't earn a commission on them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To overcome this issue, look for an Independent Investment Advisor. They are not restricted to one particular company's investment offerings.

and this is why&lt;em&gt; raw land development&lt;/em&gt; can be so profitable.  It is this &lt;em&gt;entitlement process&lt;/em&gt; that creates an average 300-500% increase in the value of &lt;em&gt;raw land&lt;/em&gt; - often with limited associated costs for even higher profits!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: times new roman; font-size: 16px;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: tahoma;

Obtaining the necessary governmen&lt;/span&gt;t approvals to build on&lt;em&gt; raw land&lt;/em&gt; requires time, experience, relationships and the ability to manage against competing intentions for the property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: 16px;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: tahoma;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(1, 88, 71);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;B.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; The land developer makes formerly raw, undeveloped land available to builders and construction contractors in "&lt;em&gt;ready-and-approved-to-build condition&lt;/em&gt;" -- often with turn-key access to utilities, municipal water and sewer, roadways, etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: tahoma;

font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(5, 5, 6);"&gt;All of these factors help make raw land development projects among the &lt;em&gt;safest high yield money investments&lt;/em&gt;

 A typical &lt;em&gt;raw land development project&lt;/em&gt; will take anywhere from &lt;em&gt;one to several years to complete. &lt;/em&gt;This all depends upon the size and complexity of the project, plus government approval time-lines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;

Buying Investment Property (PART 2)</title><content type='html'>&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;PREFACE:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In today's chaotic economy, whether it's verbalized or not, a main topic on investors' minds is: &lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;"Where can I find a &lt;em&gt;legitimate&lt;/em&gt; high yield investment without a lot of risk to my principal?"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this a fairy tale now or can investors still find good safe investments that earn solid returns?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This series of articles provides answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Part One of this series (see blog below dated 2-27-09), we focused on "WHY" investors should consider buying investment property in the form of &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/land-development.html"&gt;raw land development&lt;/a&gt; projects and "WHAT" makes them legitimate high yield investments. &lt;b&gt;In PART TWO, we will now discuss &lt;em&gt;"WHERE"&lt;/em&gt; to invest in these opportunities:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December of 2004, the acclaimed Washington D.C. think-tank, Brookings Institution, sponsored a research project by Virginia Tech University titled: &lt;em&gt;"Toward A New Metropolis: The Opportunity To Rebuild America".&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This study explains that in order to accommodate &lt;a href="http://www.census.gov/population/www/projections/usinterimproj/natprojtab02a.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;U.S. Census Bureau&lt;/a&gt; population growth projections, the United States' future raw land development needs will require 209 BILLION square feet of new community construction between 2000-2030. This massive expansion will take place primarily in 10 major metropolitan regions the study calls "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megapolitan_Area" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Megapolitans&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" and at an estimated cost of $25 TRILLION.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only does this study underscore the fact that buying investment property is a legitimate high yield investment opportunity, it tells us WHERE to invest! This was well-documented in a November 2005 article by Paul Kaihla in Business 2.0 Magazine titled: "&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2005/11/01/8362817/index.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The $25 Trillion Land Grab&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Here is what the 10 Megapolitans are being called and WHERE investors should consider investing right now:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;1. CASCADIA:&lt;/b&gt; Will encompass land from Seattle, WA to Portland, OR. Vast quantities of cheap, prime property give this Pacific Northwest megapolitan tremendous growth potential. By 2030, massive land development activity will have filled in the greenspace between these cities, making this one huge, intertwined metropolitan region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;2. NORCAL:&lt;/b&gt; Will encompass property from San Francisco to Sacramento plus the Central Valley of Northern California. There will be much more activity buying investment property east of the Bay Area, where there is much more reasonably priced raw land. The Sacramento region, in particular, is expected to build more housing and office space than any other Western area excepting Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;3. THE SOUTHLAND:&lt;/b&gt; This megapolitan will include real estate ranging from Los Angeles in the north to San Diego in the south and through the "Inland Empire" to Las Vegas in the east. Surging trade with China through the nation's busiest seaport in L.A. will spur massive expansion in logistics, warehousing and distribution centers throughout the region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;4.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;VALLEY OF THE SUN:&lt;/b&gt; Will encompass land from Phoenix, AZ to Tuscon, AZ. This will be the smallest megapolitan, but also the one with the biggest amount of "buildable" land at the lowest prices. This is why it is expected to become the fastest-growing metropolitan region in the United States. The main attraction: Palm Springs resort lifestyle at a substantial discount.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;5.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; I-35 CORRIDOR:&lt;/b&gt; Will entail land spanning San Antonio to Dallas to Kansas City. No region better captures and caters to the Latino population explosion. A new generation of Hispanic business owners and industrialists will drive the growth, and the area will become a magnet for foreign companies trying to cash in on the U.S. Latino market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;6.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;GULF COAST BELT:&lt;/b&gt; Will encompass real estate running from Houston to New Orleans. Surrounding megapolitans will enjoy spillover growth because of the region's higher risk premium punctuated by Hurricane Katrina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;7.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;GREAT LAKES HORSESHOE:&lt;/b&gt; This will encompass land from Chicago to Detroit to Pittsburgh. With manufacturing's decline in this region, these industrial cities are evolving into a "service industries" region and are expected to attract a flood of new people to this megapolitan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;8.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;ATLANTIC SEABOARD:&lt;/b&gt; Will include property from Boston to New York City to Washington D.C. America's most heavily populated megapolitan is set to experience another expansion. And most of the new development is expected to "vertical" with new skyscrapers providing much of the new construction. Expect more urban growth versus suburban in this region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;9.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; I-85 CORRIDOR:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Will involve land ranging from Raleigh-Durham to Atlanta. The expanse running from Atlanta to Raleigh is becoming a contiguous strip of homes and businesses. As the textile industry fades, financial services in Charlotte, telecom in Atlanta, and high-tech in the Raleigh-Durham Research Triangle will drive future growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;10.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;SOUTHERN FLORIDA: &lt;/b&gt;Will encompass land from Tampa through Miami. Florida posted the nation's highest job growth in 2004, as baby boomers from the North poured in to take advantage of the job market and climate. Land scarcity will also drive urban growth in this region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;BONUS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; UTAH 'MINIPOLITAN'&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; This is an add-on to the Brooking study markets. Key areas in Utah are experiencing tremendous population and job growth and need to be added to the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that summarizes "WHERE" investors should consider buying investment property (particularly: raw land development investments), as a "legitimate" high yield investment opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;PART THREE of this series will focus on the PROCESS of Raw Land Development.&lt;br /&gt;PART FOUR of this series will focus on HOW to invest in Raw Land Development projects.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;u&gt;About the author:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Hanlin is an Independent Investment Consultant specializing in low risk investments and retirement portfolio planning.

(PART 1)  Buying Investment Property</title><content type='html'>[&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This is the first part of a new series&lt;/span&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Economy"&gt;today's economy&lt;/a&gt;, most investors are asking this question:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;"Where is the best place to invest money right now?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This series of articles, starting today, will set out to answer that question. Specifically, the series will explain why and where savvy investors should be &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;buying investment property (real estate)&lt;/span&gt; -- our recommendation for the best place to invest money right now. Furthermore, the series will explain why these investment properties should be in the form of &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.johnhanlin.com/Raw_Land_Development_101.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;raw land development&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; investments&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;First, some background:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is widely held that more riches have been created by real estate than any other form of investment. Taking that one step further, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;raw land development is the most profitable form of real estate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, you can do the math: Where is the best place to invest money right now? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Raw land development.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you think of a better time to purchase real estate than in a down market? The golden rule of investing is to always "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;buy low and  sell high&lt;/span&gt;" right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Here's WHY investors should consider buying investment property right now:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;More millionaires have been made by investing in real estate that any other investment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Raw land development is the most profitable form of real estate investment.&lt;/span&gt; Per industry average: professionally managed raw land development projects increase the value of undeveloped, raw land by 2-5 times its original price. (i.e. A professional raw land developer will sell their completed raw land development project for 200-500% more than they originally paid for the property. And it can be much higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; In addition to being among the most profitable forms of investment, raw land development (professionally managed) can be one of the most secure, low risk investments an investor can make.&lt;/span&gt; This is because the raw land developer will typically back their investors' principal with the assets of their project (the property itself). In addition, they will place their investors in 1st position for project assets and revenue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This means that in the event of a developer default on a raw land development project (heaven forbid), the land itself can be sold so that the investors can recoup part or all of their principal plus any net profits. Also, it means that the investors, being in 1st position, are first in line to be paid if project assets must be sold -- making this one of the most secured forms of investment available to investors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Property prices are reasonable right now.&lt;/span&gt; Buying investment property in the form of undeveloped, raw land is a 'buyer's market' today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is because landowners aren't any different than other folks. They have been affected by the stock markets and the overall economy like everyone else. The net effect is that many are willing to sell their undeveloped land right now for very reasonable prices because they need the money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result, raw land developers are in need of investors right now to help them acquire raw land at these 'bargain basement' prices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The United States population is projected to grow +29% from 2000-2030.&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.census.gov/popest/estimates.php"&gt;U.S. Census Bureau&lt;/a&gt;) That means the addition of 82,000,000 new people in America. And these people are going to need new homes, new schools, new stores, new communities to support them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where are these new homes, schools, stores &amp;amp; communities going to come from? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Raw land development.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you starting to see the answer to our question:  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Where is the best place to invest money right now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;Look for Part 2 of this series coming soon:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;"Here's WHERE investors should consider buying investment property right now" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For FREE independent financial advice about safe investing and retirement, visit my website at: &lt;a href="http://www.johnhanlin.com/"&gt;www.JohnHanlin.com&lt;/a&gt;.

This is Part 1:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"The Safest Money Investments Today"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#1.  CASH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First off, I want to clarify one fact: The is no such thing as a completely &lt;a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4748970_safe-investments-today.html"&gt;safe investment&lt;/a&gt;. There are a number of 'low risk' investments, but none are completely safe - although people still use the term 'safe' to refer to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, we'll start the conversation about &lt;a href="http://www.johnhanlin.com/Safest_Money_Investments.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;safest&lt;/span&gt; money investments&lt;/a&gt; with the idea of putting your money in your mattress or burying it in a coffee can in your backyard. (People still do this!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are 3 risks associated with this strategy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Inflation risk. Assuming 3% inflation, you'll lose 3 cents on every dollar each year.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Someone could steal your money from your mattress.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You could forget where you buried the coffee can!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;I also include in the Cash category: &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fdic"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;FDIC Insured banking accounts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; such as Checking, Savings, Money Market Deposit Accounts and Certificates of Deposit (CD's). These are considered by many to be the safest money investments you can make because of the FDIC insurance factor. However, you are limited to the amount insured by the FDIC (has been raised to $250,000 per bank per individual through 2009).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The risk associated with these investments is &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation"&gt;inflation&lt;/a&gt; risk. The rate of interest you earn on your money will probably not keep pace with inflation, though it's a little better than doing nothing with your money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Checking Accounts&lt;/span&gt; typically pay no or very low interest and access a menu of fees and penalties which usually result in the average account pacing well below the inflation rate. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Savings Accounts&lt;/span&gt; are notorious these days for their sub-inflation interest rates. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_market_deposit_account"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Money Market Deposit Accounts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; pay a little better, but still typically below inflation, and have limitations on the number of checks and withdrawals you can make - therefore: limited &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidity"&gt;liquidity&lt;/a&gt;. And even the best &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Certificate of Deposit&lt;/span&gt; investments aren't much above the inflation rate, plus you'll need a very large amount of money to get the best rates. Also, you have to be willing to forego access to your money for an extended period of time, perhaps years, unless you're willing to pay a stiff penalty for early withdrawal (no liquidity). And even then, the interest rates you earn isn't going to rock your world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that's CASH: Safest Money Investment #1. Part 2 of this series will be about &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"U.S. Government Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds"&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For FREE independent financial advice about safe investing and retirement, visit my website at: &lt;a href="http://www.johnhanlin.com/"&gt;www.JohnHanlin.com&lt;/a&gt;.

I've consolidated them into two central themes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What are the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;safest&lt;/span&gt; money investments available today?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is there such a thing a safe investing anymore?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are some good ways to invest money in this economy?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Where is the best place to invest money right now?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are the best low risk investments?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are some good investments today?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are some safe ways to invest money?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are good &lt;a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4748970_safe-investments-today.html"&gt;safe investments&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Where do I find good safe money investments today?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Can I still find &lt;a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4748462_best-high-yield-safe-investments.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;high yield&lt;/span&gt; safe investments&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is safe high &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_%28finance%29"&gt;yield&lt;/a&gt; investing still possible&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are the best investments for today's economy?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Are safe high yield investments a thing of the past?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are secure high yield investments today?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What is the best place to invest money right now?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are the best fixed rate investments right now?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;I'm guessing that you're probably asking similar questions yourself. I know that I am! So, I have done a good amount of research on these two topics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's interesting is this: depending upon which investment '&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru"&gt;guru&lt;/a&gt;' that you listen to, there are a lot of different opinions being given in response to the first central question above: "What are the safest money investments available today?"  And the opinions vary even more on the second central question: "Can I still find high yield safe investments?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the completion of all my research of numerous expert writings, internet searches, blogs,  television and radio interviews, etc., tempered by my personal knowledge and experience, I decided to create this blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In future blogs, I will be sharing information about what I consider to be the safest money investments, also  where you can find high yield safe investments &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in today's economy.

The global economy is on tilt, largely being driven by the United States, the world's financial core. Stock markets are experiencing significant devaluations, financial institutions are defaulting left and right, the foreclosure market is rampant and the price of oil has plummeted. Sound like Armageddon?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's an investor to do? What is the safest place to invest money today? Is it possible to find high yield &lt;a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4748970_safe-investments-today.html"&gt;safe investments&lt;/a&gt; anymore? Or should I just keep my money in my mattress where it won't lose value? Oops! What about inflation? Even in my mattress I'd be losing money!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For answers to these questions and more, please stay tuned!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For FREE independent financial advice about safe investing and retirement, visit my website at: &lt;a href="http://www.johnhanlin.com/"&gt;www.JohnHanlin.com&lt;/a&gt;.
