I would invest in a index. An index is a diversified portfoilio of securities, this means that the unique risk of firrms has been diversified away, and the only risk you are exposed to is market risk. Returns on these tend to be quite good, without being subjected to the ups and downs of only one company. These indices can usually be bought on your securities exchange.

In general, the lower the risk, the slimmer your returns will be. Historically, though, utility stocks have been a good way to go. Utilities (electrical, gas) that supply our power are regulated by the government, and so are the profits they make. Thus, they're guaranteed to make a profit, are therefore stable and always able to yield both dividends and modest growth at the same time. Taken together, their dividends and growth often outperform most other stocks ... You might survey a collection of utility stocks or of utility stock mutual funds and see how they're doing. You can trade them like stocks and sell whenever you wish. If you're saving for the downpayment on a house you can also designate this investment as your IRA (individual retirement account) and still use it for that purpose, thus sheltering it from taxes when you cash-out. Pretty neat, huh? :)

An online high yield savings account is 100% safe because it is FDIC insured.
I personally have one with Emigrant Direct that pays 5.05% interest.
You can link it right to your current checking account which makes it easy to transfer money back and fourth from each account.
If you are talking about stocks; than I agree that a simple index fund from a company like Vanguard is the safest way to enter the stock market..

Higher risk = higher reward. You're not rewarded for reducing risk. But, you should be able to make 4-5% from bonds and treasury bills and perhaps some CD's or money market accounts.
I'd also look into Dividend Reinvestment Plans with very stable, blue chip companies, like Exxon. Your dividends buy more stock, and they buy more when the price is low but less when the price goes up, so it forces you to buy low automatically.

Least risk comes with least money. Highest yielding comes with it higher risk. This is how it is. No miracle.

Go and apply for job in the govt. mint! You'll be making lots of money, only you won't be able to use it.
Rather like hungry Midas trying to eat something, and it turning into gold.
