If you need the money today buy CD's. Best rates are from places like Ally on line banks. Do a ladder of 1 through 5 year CD's. They even have a "raise your rate" CD if rates go up. If you have 10 years or more of income requirements then a broad mix of low cost index funds is the best answer.
Excellent information. Thank you very much for your advice!
