I keep hearing that municipal bonds are the way to go if you want to make sure your money is safe. They are tax exempt and usually have decent return rates.

May be something to look into.

State and Gov workers like myself almost lost our retirement today if the fed's had'nt bailed out AIG, they insure Ky's retirement. Looks like I can not count on the state for my retirement, so what are some good retirement investments, you have mentioned some, any other ideas? I am getting to the age that retirement age is drawing closer and need to be prepared. Thought that is why I took a State job for was for the retirement and benifits, but now what??????????????????????????????????????????

I work with a fellow that stayed in a bad stock for almost four years hoping it to rebound where it once was. At one time he made good money on this stock and was convinced he would again. After four years of some marginal up's and down's mostly downs he figured he lost over 9,000 dollars on that one bad investment. The stock market is to be played and dabbled with not married to one or some options, as it can leave a nasty hole in your wallet sometimes, lol.
