If you need the money 6 months from now there isn't anything that is both super low risk and at the same time will pay you a substantial amount of money.
CD's are completely safe but you find one paying 1% for 6 months and are investing $30k you are looking at a giant profit of around $150 which you will then pay tax on. Better than nothing and worth opening the account but not substantial.
Stocks are a great longer term investment but faced with 6 months time there is a chance you could lose 20% ($6k in the above). No financial adviser would recommend it.
I also do lattering for CD's for part of my emergency fund (see above) but it doesn't apply to cases where you need all of the money a short time from now.
