okay, here's the scenario- I have a small sum of cash right now, but I will need it in one year. what could i invest in that will be safe but will get me a better return than my checking account.
I was thinking 1 year treasury bills...but I have no clue how to invest in them.
basically- i'm clueless...and i figure there's got be at least one finance major on this board.
