I have been investing with them for the past 5 years and they even seemed to profit during the recession. The beauty is that the minimum is 5k! its definitely rare to find it but they are out there!

Of course, I imagine many people in combat zones are there for reasons other than the 10% return. It is nice to hear that the government has a program to help build the military members financial future while they're serving the country. I imagine it's kind of hard to manage an investment portfolio in the middle of a war. Matt, talk about weighing risks and rewards!

If you are in the military and are in a combat zone such as IRAQ, there is a military savings program that allows money to be invested at a guarenteed 10% return over the extent of the deployment. For those that don't want to be in a combat zone for a 10% return, investing in an equities portfolio over the long run has returned about 10%.

If you have an employer match you get much higher guaranteed rates of return since you effectively double your money on day one. You're right that the "answers" provided by the article don't really give the questioner what they wanted, but I actually like the doughnut portion. All the author is really saying is that great opportunities arise all the time that can give you a lot more than a 10% return, but you have to be paying attention to find them. In the doughnut case, the guy was listening to others with an ear to how he might solve their problems and make some money doing so. And one final note: all penguins are pink -- on the inside!

Then there's little trouble. It’s tough to get a guaranteed 10% return if you’re excluded from all of the goodies that are available to qualified investors (a.k.a. the rich).

For every $1 you personally contribute to your super fund, the government contributes $1.50, thats a 150% guaranteed return. The downside is you can't access that money until you're 60 or you pay hefty taxes on it. Otherwise, its taxfree and accumulates interest, snowball of money!

I just earned a guaranteed 10% on a one year cd. Also, you could join the military and be deployed to a hostile fire area and earn a guaranteed 10% on up to $10k in the military's Savings Deposit Program (SDP). but point taken. ;o) This isn’t completely true.
