I'm not a financial expert or anything so take this with a grain of salt, but I'd look into mutual funds.

Mine's been pretty flat so far but I only started my account in May. It claims, based on historical data:

(time period - average annual returns)

1yr - 11.77%

3yr - 19.63%

5yr - 16.50%

10yr - 8.11%

(Vanguard 500 Index Fund Admiral, for reference)

E: Hmm, apparently it shows different percents if I google it vs. if I'm just logged in. Odd.
