As everyone knows interest rates (checking account, savings account, online savings account etc) are low. They have risen a bit, but are no where near the historical highs (or enough to overcome inflation). I am constantly in situations where I want to park my extra cash in liquid high yielding investments. One approach is to invest in quality dividend growth stocks. Stocks are risky (even quality ones) and not very liquid. This post is not about savings account or CDs. It is about investing in other fixed investment strategies. As someone who has been investing with Vanguard for almost 6 years, I wanted to point out some excellent vanguard choices for fixed income investing.
