Where should I put $300K for a few months?

[Oxford]

After settling up with my X-wife, selling the house and paying off all sorts of things… I have about $300K which I dumped into a general checking account at my local bank (had to stick it somewhere since my life was in a spin).

I plan to buy a home in the fall and want to keep this money liquid or perhaps tied up for a few months as I plan to use alot of it for the home purchase.

I was about to start my journey into CD rates and Money Market Certificates etc… but thought I’d check into the Piggington Brain Trust first.

So, where would you folks recommend I invest the money for a good safe return for a few months.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Break it up in to smaller FDIC insurable chunks and put them in institutions that are relatively safe rated.

Liquid Cd from First Republic bank….They have a 11 month liquid CD that gets around 2.08%…You can pull money out anytime providing you leave a min of 10K in it…..They also have a Passbook savings account that will yield 2% if you have a 250K minimum….Maybe spread it around between the 2 for safety…
