The safest investment is U.S. Treasury Notes, Bonds, or Bills, as the US has never defaulted on these obligations. You won't get much more than 5% return on them, though, at current market rates.

Stocks give the most return over long periods, historically. But they are not safe at all. They are subject to great volitility. You can make a fortune in a small period of time, but you can also wake up one morning, check your account, and see that you've lost everything.

The best solution... DIVERSIFY. Have some money in stocks, some in bonds, some in Real Estate. But before you do any of that, PAY OFF ALL YOUR DEBTS. You have no business investing at 5%, 8%, or even 12% if you are in debt on a credit card at 20%!!!!
