I am thinking of investing my money in treasury notes. Alternative is investing in corporate stocks/bonds but they are not that stable and I would probably need to pay a broker some money to handle for me where as government bonds are very stable and guaranteed profit though interest is not that high.

I am 90% sure i wanna go with government bond but wanted to ask your guys two cents on what should i do. Should i risk buying corporate stocks and hire a broker? Interest is more and also a professional like a broker to handle it will give me pretty good security. I would also have to pay taxes on it though.

what would you guys suggest. I am planning on buying govenrnment notes from treasurydirect..
