What is a good 1-1.5 year investment? Are CD's my only option?

I dont want to play the stock market myself and I can't afford to lose too much of this money.

If you think CD's are the best choice where can I find the CD that pays the highest rate?

THANKS

After many years of professional experience in all the capital markets, the best priced CDs tend to do better than anything else, but on occasion you can find an investment grade corporate bond with similar maturity that pays more. To check, go to www.etrade.com, but you have to fund an account first. If you do not have such an account, then just get the CD the differences would be at best nominal.

DO NOT USE A BOND FUND! The risk is too high.

CDs or Money Market accounts. OR I recommend ING Direct.

Their basic savings account pays out at CD rates, and the interest will go up as the market goes up. (It could go down as well. You decide what amount of risk you are up for.)

You can find good rates online but check out HSBC. They have an online account that is paying over 5% which is not to be sneezed at. There are probably others too now.

Best way is to read and educate yourself on several options. Some major companies in Hedge Funding can be quite good because it doesn't matter if the share market goes up or down. Anyway, education is the key. No easy answers

high interest savings - look for an account for around 5% interest
