Looking for some financial advice from all you gurus out there...

[SKKY]

Here's the situation. I'm going to be looking at purchasing a house in about 6-7 years time, and wanted to get some advice on what would be the best place to stash the savings I'll use for the down payment that will give me the best return. I've got a decent chunk already, and will add to that monthly. I don't mind a bit of risk, but I'm not what some might consider "aggressive". What would you guys do in my situation?

1. Certificates of Deposit or money market accounts are a decent bet.

2. Stay away from Treasury Notes

I hear that they're just worthless IOUs.

3. CD

4. If you go for the CD's

look at www.everbank.com for good rates. Don't take any chances with the money unless you know what you are doing and have ample time to watch.

5. The investment outlook isn't really positive.

Here's a good, low risk idea for you to consider:

6. Combo

As interest rates rise buy CD's or check out ING Orange Savings Acct...very good rates and no lock in on your money. You can sign up online and can transfer money between the savings acct and your checking acct.

As interest rates fall...buy an intermediate term bond fund.

one doesn't invest in maya but in the treasures of the soul.
