As a younger person in his 30s, what would investors recommend:

I get a $2000 check from my employer every year for savings/investing. What are the safe and best options to do with this money?

Last year I put it in a Roth IRA. Was that a wise move? I know nothing about investing.

A Roth IRA is not an investment. It is a tax qualification. What did you invest it in?

All I know is that it was some sort of an IRA/CD that I can contribute more money into it before April of 2011 and then it becomes mature?

If there is a maturity date I'm guessing the money is in some sort of U.S. Treasury issue. As Con Alma pointed out a Roth is just a tax mechanism, you pay taxes on the income currently but when you withdraw after following the rules the distribution is tax-free....it doesn't have anything to do with how you invested the funds.

It depends on how risk averse you are, if you want to keep your prinicipal Treasuries and bonds usually are less volatile. If you want to invest in equities there are some exchange traded funds that have reduced management fees.

Money Market Account is where its at.
