I would do HYSA until rates go down. Gives you the most liquid option with a good APR
I like HYSA and CDs not checking unless you may need the liquid cash for something.
Others might be more versed. Equities create risk, especially in a 1-2 year horizon.
CD / HYSA are relatively risk free. I'd want to understand the rate premium on having my money 'locked up' vs variable rate of high-yield. Also how certain you are in your time window. 'I need this in 12 months for grad school' is different than 'I might want to buy a house'. Less certain, I'd probably value the flexibility of HYSA.
IMO, no reason to do checking when HYSA is on the table.
Asking from an ignorant position so maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in. What about muni bonds? Don’t they offer good returns and are tax free? Drawbacks?
Why hysa for the ones whove saud hysa
Reliable compounding interest and can withdraw at any time without penalty. You do get taxed on interest, but it’s minimal at most
