💨 Abstract

The article discusses short-term investment options, focusing on yield, guarantees, liquidity, and personal financial situations. It highlights that high-yield investments often come with risks or liquidity constraints. Key options include CDs (high yields but with early withdrawal penalties), high-yield savings accounts (FDIC-insured with daily liquidity), money market mutual funds (liquid but lower yields and not FDIC-insured), and I bonds (inflation-protected but with redemption penalties).
