Is there any relatively safe investment that makes a better rate than a CD?

I am getting .4 %.

I don't think that is even better than the inflation rate.

Thanks.

The rates for anything other than the stock market have been a joke for
many years.

If the CD is not paying 5% or more it is a waste of time and money to
fool with them.

I would just invest in a good mutual fund and let it go at that. They
may go up and down,but over a long time they go up.

It seems bad,but I have watched my IRA that is in mutual funds go up and
down in one day as much as I made in 2 months when working. Overall
they have made more than 10 % average per year in the last few years.
Some much more.
