It's a rocky environment for stocks, and short term returns have risen to nice levels
I'd consider 2 alternatives- DVY, which is an ETF focused on dividend paying stocks- it has a 3.6% return plus upside potential if stocks rise
My other favorite is closed end funds- you can buy them at a discount- check out the closed end preferred funds- 10% discount at least and 8% area yields - no long term upside though

It depends on what you want your money to do and how long you plan on having that money work for you. Honestly I don't see interest rates rising much more. We may see one more session where they do rise. History shows us that rates have been under 6% more times than they have been over. If you put your money in bonds you will recieve a fixed income stream with the chance of the bond going up in value if rates decrease. In the short term take a look at some good value stocks that pay good dividends.

Use mutual funds. Read "Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey.

If short term, go for bonds. If long term, go for shares.

Mutual Funds (stocks) offer the best return over the long term.

Long term, stocks!

It's a pretty tough environment out there with rising interest rates and inflation which are negative for both stock and bond returns. I'd park my money in cash for the time being.
