In your checking account?

6 month CD from Ally Bank
IMO (take with a big grain of salt as I'm a newbie) stock market is volatile right now to invest in stocks, bonds or currency. With the election coming up, Fed hinting at raising interest rates and Stocks already being near All Time Highs. I'd stay away from investing and find the highest yielding CD or savings account and keep your money safe until things settle down.

If you need to not take any risk then a 6 month CD. If you can risk a small loss then a short term bond fund with a low duration.

A lot of people will tell you 6 months isn't really "investing". Bank the cash.

Personally, I would try to find a rewards checking and savings account.

Savings account

I am in a similar situation, but my time line is more like 1-5 years. I am comfortable with some risk but can't decide what route to take.
What is the downside to putting $25k in vwinx or vwenx, and putting $25 k in an interest bearing account. This is money that is intended to be used to purchase additional investment properties.

Six months I'm putting it in an online capital one account and making a sweet 1% :(
Maybe a local credit union would have a CD over 1%

Use 20k to put down 20% on an 80k house, plus closing costs etc. Can you be more specific about the terms that you have the cash? Like you just have 50k and must pay back, in lump sum, in six months?

Barclays online savings is paying 1%. Thats the best savings rate I've found anywhere.
Posted on 9/22/16 at 11:18 am to slinger1317
There are a few that are right around 1%. Goldman Sachs Bank (the old GE Capital Bank) is at 1.05% for online savings. The difference would be a few pennies here or there. So either/or.
So anything like that is the correct choice. The way his question is phrased, it almost sounds like something bad might happen to one of his limbs if he doesn't have (at least) $50K in six months. But in any case, six months isn't an investment horizon, it's a savings horizon.

Yields 6.5%...

Capital One 360 savings pays .75, and their money market account pays 1 percent.
No fees, and you can get the money any time you need it, unlike with a CD that charges a penalty for early withdrawal.

MMA is the best route. Can also look at a high yield MMA. This is the only reasonable approach.
