I think that David is right - money market mutual funds offer similar if
not higher yields, and you can withdraw the money whenever you like, and
with only superficially higher risks.
or, better yet, paying off high interest credit card
balances.
... but in today's economy, paying off high interest rates is by far the
best investment.
In 1998 I was involved in a very bad auto-accident, and I obtained a
large amount of money in the settlement. At that time the stock market
was at an all time high, but I chose instead to invest my money by
paying off the mortgage on my house. Even though this was a
significantly boring investment, the peace of mind it brought (and that
the stock market had a big crash soon after that) makes this one of the
best investments I have ever made.
