I went to different banks and the best offer I got so far is 1% APY for 24 months investing ,000. They told me the rates are really low right now. Somebody was telling me about Money Market, Bonds, etc.
Anybody invested with ING?? Are they a reputable institution? I want to invest with no risk, thanks for the advice

How many of you would love to start a business and let the taxed public assume all this risk?
Do you pay a football tax, do you believe that the public should pay for private companies and if so should said company have to sell stock and pay dividends, or issue bonds or get free money from the tax payers?

Invest more in Bonds (Mutual Funds)?
I am 24 and currently have some money invested in a Vanguard Target Retirement mutual fund.
I am considered investing in another fund through Vanguard, and I was looking at the performance of the Total Stock Market fund and the Total Bond Market Fund:
https://personal.vanguard.com/us/funds/snapshot?FundId=0084&FundIntExt=INT
https://personal.vanguard.com/us/funds/snapshot?FundId=0085&FundIntExt=INT
I hear repeatedly how someone my age should invest primarily in Stocks, and roughly 10% bonds, if any.
However the way the market is going, and judging by the performance of the two find linked above, someone who invested in Bond funds would be much better off, even if the market didn’t go as sour (the yield on the Bonds fund is greater than even if you extrapolate the growth of the Stocks prior to the recession).
Is it a wise move to invest a bit more in Bond funds such as this or should I stick to stocks?

What does it mean to roll your capital gains in the stock market?
i.e. – Speaking to my financial adviser in North Dakota, she recommended that I should purchase 20 shares of Cellu Tissue Holdings, Inc. (CLU), an initial public offering at 12.901 per share. Over the next couple of days, the climbed 12 basis points yielding 9.5 percent I rolled my capital gains and invested in Jo-Ann Stores (JAS) at 35.201 per share. Later in the month, I sold short some of the shares. Over the next couple of days I picked 40 shares of Black Rock Income Trust (BKT) at 20.146 per share.
AND
Summering in West Virginia during 2008, it was a tough time for the market, with the failure of Bear Sterns and Lehman’s. I cashed out 50 shares of ACE Limited (ACE) at 48.234 due to the insurance industry taking a hit in the financial crisis, and converted to treasury bonds, which kept my losses to a minimum and cover my margins Recently recognizing that the airline industry is stabilizing and fundamentals looked good. I dived back into equities and purchased 40 shares of Continental Airlines (CAL) at 18.751 per share. Then, realizing that any growth in the first quarter will take place in the technical sector, I decided to purchase Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) at 59.801 per share to hedge against any losses.
It’s a puzzle and I’m looking for a three digit number out of each paragraph.

what is the least amount of $ i need in order to invest in the stock market?
I called a broker and asked what I could do with 00 to invest. I didn’t want long term mutual funds, or bonds – I just wanted to risk the cash and buy something I could watch go up or down on the market – He said with such a small amount of money he’d be wasting his time to work with me. Is my idea really that crazy?
