I was going to say GIC/Saving's account, but you need an annual interest rate of 9% to get that much.

Possible with mutual funds and stocks, but there's also the chance you'd lose money.

i dunno i dont remember the formula, it's probably less than 9% with the compounding so maybe it is 6.75

And considering that, adjusted for inflation, the stock market is where it was a full decade ago, that seems a tough gamble these days.

Unfortunately, there is definitely, absolutely no sure-fire legal way to do this.

i dont need to worry about inflation, basically what i am trying to due is make more money off some savings rather then pay something off with it

i owe 5800 bucks on my windows
I pay about $43 a month in interest, rather then paying it all off right now and lose 6k
I want to offset the interest so in ~8 years i still have that 6k

make sense?

Yes but in 8 years you'll still owe the $5800 on the windows so you won't really have made anything.

Won't happen. There's a good reason banks make billions and every company wants you to finance: interest on you. Also notice how banks make money, despite giving out interest: more in than out.

You are better off paying your windows out ASAP. Think of it as -6000k, but $43 extra disposable income per month.

Edit: Forgot to add. I have tried to reason financing a bunch of high price items like you. Every time, I can't even neutralize the bullshit administration fee with 0% interest cause they already though about it, and interest payout to you is too little.

Well to be fair, you can figure about 1-2% per year discount due to inflation. This can be very important on large amounts (one of the reasons I still like interest only loans in some cases). But trying to manage this for a 6k loan isn't worth it.

Uhh... is that $43 interest or is that the payment. If it's the former, you wont pay off the loan. If is the latter, you are better off just paying the windows off and then saving up the 43 you would have otherwise spent.

I would do PVX. Its been a stock I've had off and on for years. Price generally runs between 9-11. Dividends are 10% a year paid out monthly (unless its recently changed).
So 6000 x 10% = 600, paid monthly is a bit under 60 bucks.

HOWEVER. As with any single stock prices may go down adversely affecting the value. I am NOT a stock broker or investment advisor. The information given is worth what you paid for it.

Extremely short-term, street corner loans. What could possibly go wrong?

You need one of the following:
5.5% yield with an annual increase in payout of 13%
6.0% yield with an annual increase in payout of 12%
6.5% yield with an annual increase in payout of 9%
7.0% yield with an annual increase in payout of 7%

The only way you could do this is to go after a REIT or a bank with a 6.5+% yield and reasonable growth prospects.

I would avoid REITS right now entirely.

I would not recomend any particular stocks ..... you need to make hte decisions on your own. I'd wait for BAC to release the next quarters data prior to investing, but that is your only bet to accomplish your goal (that I can see). The thing is, after taxes, you probably will not get the dividends that you want. granted capital appreciation is probably going to put you in the green (but if you are looking at total low risk return, you are better off with WFC).

----------------------
You are asking the wrong question though. What is hte interest rate on your debt? What do you have to make annually after taxes to make the debt logical to take on?

If you are paying an interest rate of 7%, you need to figure out a no risk way of making 9% annually. After taxes, you should make over 7%.

Given the nature of your question though, you are not qualified to make an investment decision other than buying a S&P 500 index fund. As others are saying, you might as well just pay off your debt (windows?).
