You can enjoy the best of both CDs and the stock market (other markets as well) with index-linked CDs. You get a guaranteed minimum return, say 1% (yes, lower than regular CDs, but better than nothing or a loss) but you also get the upside of having your return tied to an index such as the S&P500, the Dow, or other indexes such as the Nikkei, Eurostock, oil, metals, etc. These are offered by brokerages and some banks, you may have to hunt a bit as most of the people you talk to will not know a lot about them. Schwab has them listed online in their section on CDs.
I'm not sure if they have 1-year products, may be longer, or you might be able to find some on the "resale" market - people who need to get out of a long-term commitment.
