You can always do a "CD Ladder". I would just roll over 3 month CDs myself."

The credit markets are going through some tough times, even Bernanke admits to failures of US banks in the near future. You gotta be very careful with money markets this moment, i.e. whoever you buy the debt instruments off, you gotta keep an eye on their stock prices and fundamentals closely.
At the same time, the returns gotta beat the bank and inflation rates to be worth your time."
