Where can i safely park my money?

Corporate Bonds

Include corporate bonds in your bond investing strategy to get the highest interest rates. Corporate bonds are bonds issued by businesses. These bonds are sold and traded much like stocks. Because there is a chance that the corporation may fold during the term of the bond, interest rates are often higher than for government bonds.

You can get a 6% or so yield from utility preferred stocks. You have to be cognizant of the interest rate cycle as well as stepping aside when the market is melting down in which case, they're quite tradeable.

6% isn't a fortune but most are issued at $25 and you'll eventually get that at maturity (or if called) unless they're perpetual. Remember, we're talking low risk,

Simply put, the amount put out for long or short term investments should not affect your daily lifestyle or liquidity.

You are locked into 3 year investments with default rates OVER 10%!!!!

You will break even after 3 years if you are lucky. Prosper and LendingClub are both facing bankruptcy. Stay away.

wow thanks for the heads up. It seems like a legit business if only so many borrowers didnt default. As the economy gets better, it might improve.
