Try putting a minor amount (<1%) in VanEck Russia ETF (RSX) to hold indefinitely and see what happens.

An annuity could be just the right thing to buy into depending on your situation and risk tolerance. To each his own…

Annuity salespeople have to put bread on the table.

look into I bonds, you can only invest $10k per year, per person, but they are paying 7.12 % right now, will readjust in April most likely going over 8% good luck

Yeah, I want to do this but TreasuryDirect.gov doesn't have very good reviews.

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned a couple energy stocks as i think it was then and even more so now that oil related products were going to skyrocket in price.
Companies like Devon Exxon Chevron who just announced a 10 billion dollar stock buy back program are going to make a ton of money.
Simply put the major US oil companies have not drilling for new oil right now because of the present administrations policies regarding fossil fuel energy.
The problem is you just cant turn on these wells that have been shut down as the workers have moved on and most importantly their are very few truck drivers out there to transport the oil.
in an earlier post i predicted the price of a barrel of oil Brent would reach 110 i was wrong it has hit 123 I believe . I predicted gas at 4 bucks a gallon and i was wrong as the national average is much higher.
If the US stops buying Russian oil which i think they should i think the national average price of gas could go to $5 and maybe 8 bucks in part of California.
High gas prices all areas of transportation and we will see inflations like never before

In what way? For a government site it is fine. I use it every month to buy T-Bills.

Parady, REALLY? NO WAY. Hidden fees. How do you think they pay for all their lavish promotions and their billboards all around TV.

I'll take another look at it but it seemed to be asking weird questions to set up an account. Thanks!

I don't remember that part. I registered years ago. Most finance related sites now use two factor authorization for access. Maybe that makes setup more complicated.
