Re: O/T Looking for \"under the mattress\" type investment
stock index funds
low cost,you should average 6%-8% yearly over eternity.Of course you may go thru stretchs where the market flatlines for 1O years-it happens.
Set one up and dollar-cost average monthly thru automatic montly deductions from checking/savings account.
Vanguard,Fidelity should do the trick.I use Vanguard VTSMX.
You could also buy QQQQ or SPY or any other broad market exchange traded fund and just hold it but I think the custodial fees or inactivity fees could possibly cost you more than an index fund.
