Two suggestions for you (and others) to look into.
In addition to the
many suggestions for high-yield savings accounts, I can recommend the
CapitalOne Direct High-Yield Money Market Account.
- All-online access
- Electronic transfers to/from any checking account at any bank
- 5% interest rate
- Accounts are FDIC Insured up to $100k
I also recommend checking out
INVESTools. They sell an investing training course, mentorship program, and access to their online website tools which collect and filter a shockingly large and useful quantity of financial data. Of course it's expensive (around $3000 to buy in, then $50/month for website access after the first 6 months), and really depends if you're interested in active investing. Their website is really light on details, but their free information seminar was VERY informative. Unlike a lot of other products, I found their website tools both well-designed and useful (as both an amateur investor and a software professional).
Cheers!
