It depends on what you consider "good." That is a subjective term, different for everyone. You must define your terms better, and be more specific, e.g., what is your risk level?
Some people think the Iraqi Dinar is a "good" investment, while I think it is a little too speculative.

Send me your money. I'll put it to good use. However, you may not get it back.

No one knows what you mean by a good inventment.
CDs are good for some people but not others. you could invest in gold. you could buy stock options or cattle futures (like HRC did). Maybe they will go up, maybe down.

For Long-term Dollars. Dollars not needed until age 59 1/2 or older. Why pay taxes on Interest you are not going to spend untill after age 59 1/2??????
The Best SAFE MONEY products are the following:
1. Fixed Index Annuities ------Where your account value does NOT Decline in Value. -----Where the Credited Interest to your account does NOT Decline in Value. -------Where the interest you earn each year is based ONLY on the Upside of a Stock Index (You would accept a Cap on the Upside of say 8% in exchange for not having your account decline in value, wouldn't you???? I know I would!!!!) The Cap varies by company & annuity and is usually guaranteed for 1 year. Other crediting methods are also available.

By the way, the way the insurance company is able to vary the interest you earn which is based on a stock index is by the use of a derivative for the interst part only.
2. Fixed Deferred Annuities - Where you have a wide selections of multi-year guaranteed rates or for 1 year, 3 years or 5 years. most are 5 to 10 year products. To Learn more and see most of the rates for yourself visit: http://www.jdsannuities.com/annuity_rates
3. Immediate Annuities - For Guaranteed Monthly Income for Life, Joint Life or for a Period of Time: Go here to learn more - http://www.jdsannuities.com/immediate_annuities

If you want safe, bank CDs pay good now.
If you want something just a bit more risky, the stock market is the way to go. You generally need alot of money or alot of time to make good money in the stock market.

Your best bet for moderately safe long term returns would be mutual funds, its not as risky as the stock market and it pays alot more than a CD would!
