    7% to 20% (recently high due to stock market bubble which will pop soon).

    Money invested is at risk and not insured. Play at your own risk.

    I didn't say it was my method, I said I could at least put it in an interest bearing savings account, which I should have clarified and added "and at least made something off of it?". Im sorry.
