What's the best way to invest (safely) about $250,000 for about one year, in Canada.?

Question

banks are currently offering 3-3.5%, GIC is about 3.6. is there anything else?

Answer 1

There are lot's of great options.

The best way to invest money is to invest in someone's business. I have invested in my friend's small business and now I am getting guaranteed 40% annual interest.

Please email me for more details.

I wish you success!

Answer 2

Nobody invests for one year.  I'm thinking 3.5% in a money market is the right thing.

I'm not sure why you put (safely) in your question.  Investing safely for 1 year is HARD.  your question is restrictive enough to only have one right answer.

Investing safely for 50 years is a lot easier than 1 year.

P.S. If you don't know, offering "Guaranteed 40% interest" is basically a big flashing "get scammed by me" sign.  Thats the traditional way you get people in a Ponzi scheme.  Stay away!

Answer 3

Open an account with an on-line broker...deposit SOME of your money...buy shares of HTE and/or PWE...nice Canadian oil/gas/energy companies. Every month you will recieve deposits to your account that amount to well above 12% annually.

It could be a fairly safe way to get a good increase on your original lump sum by year's end.
