Investments Options

Not sure how many of you have any investments, just thought I'd share a little. I was rolling over my old 401k from my previous company and noticed the thing has been kicking ass big time so I left it with Fidelity as an IRA. I have most of the cash into two of the fidelity investments: FDIVX (Fidelity Diversified International) and FDVLX (Fidelity Value) and have had a 14.5% rate of return over the past six months alone. If any of you have IRAs and are maybe looking for some aggressive investments, these two funds are pretty sweet.

with capital one, you can go to their site online and set up a internet only money market account (wont get a debit card and you have to set up your bank account info to transfer funds in and out). its high yield with a 5% interest compounded quarterly i think. Its something insane like that. What I did with it is throw all my student loan money i got into it so that it would earn a little interest and then I would dump the account as need be. Good way to earn $20 if you can keep a good amount of money in there for most of the semester. I recently dumped the account though. I think ill do it again though when I start at Texas State. every dollar helps.

Is it up to 5% now? Alright, strike my 4.5%. It compounds monthly. Paid two months of rent from interest collected from student loans last year Recently dumped a large portion of it to pay off my truck and currently debating on ditching the 1.9% credit card balance with the remainder. Think I'll leave it though. 5% > 1.9% afterall.

I think I've seen them as high as 5.5 or 6 online. I haven't look lately. The higher ones were ING and HSBC.
