Consider the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund with a current yield of 5.05%:

If you are in a high tax bracket you may prefer their tax exempt money market funds:
https://flagship.vanguard.com/VGApp/hnw/FundsByType
Sometimes other institutions will have a higher teaser rate, but Vanguard tends to have the highest yields I've found over the long run. (Vanguard money markets are not FDIC insured, however.)
Article on teaser rates:

ING and HSBC often have rates close to Vanguard, and they often are FDIC insured. You can check these at the following links:

If you were investing for a long period of time, greater then 5-10 years, it would make sense to buy a diversified portfolio of stocks. However, over a short period of time, stocks are too volatile to invest in. You may end up losing money.
I hope you find these sites useful. |

CD's or Treasuries because of your short term time horizon would provide the most safety |

Do some reading on a few " financial" sites ( finance/yahoo...moneycentral/msn..cnbc/b... Get an idea of what " investing" is...then go to E-trade...open an account... and start a portfolio.
Start with a couple of $ 2500. mutual funds...one " global balanced"...one " emerging markets"....with the rest of the money...look into ETF's ( they cover a particular sector of the market ( materials, energy, tech, financials, mining/ metals) or maybe a country or area of the world.... you can buy as little or as much as you want ( easier than a " fund")...and get in or out anytime the market is open. Reading is the key...info is what you need...there is always something, somewhere getting real decent returns... make a couple of buys...let it ride...or move on to something better.
That 10,000 can be 15,000 in a year ( or it could be 10,500...if you put it in the bank!)
another site is: http://beginnersinvest.about.com/
also look at: http://wwwtop10traders.com/
You can see what traders do to get decent returns...and what stocks, ETF's or funds they hold. |

i agree with the poster above put SOME of your money in mutual funds of emerging markets, these are really hot right now and should be for the following year, don't put all your money in one basket tho, diversify |

I know of an investment that can give a 80% return on your investment in less than 10 months. http://www.geocities.com/mikeerv/index.htm |

Diversify.
CD, mutual funds, precious metals. Can't go wrong with some in each of these. |

It depends on the level of risk you want to take.
Less risky investments like U.S. & Corporate bonds are good but don’t give high returns like other investment vehicles.
Mutual Funds are risky but not as much as single stocks picking. If you have no experience you should look into mutual funds.
You can buy individual stocks through a brokerage firm or bank but its risky, if you’re knowledgeable about preferred or common stock investing then takes this route.
If you’re fearless, trade futures, preferably trading options on futures. But statically people who trade futures lose most of the time, so you have to be highly skilled in this arena.
Forex and option trading are good investment vehicles for advanced investors.
It all comes down to how long you will not touch the money and how much risk you want to assume. During the current subprime crisis wall streets extremely volatile, so be careful. |

My guess would be a money market CD, but I tend to be risk averse. There are much more knowledgeable people you could ask, but they tend to charge money. |

Def the stock market is a great idea! With that kind of money you can see great returns. Small cap stocks especialy, they range from $1-5 and they have the potential to double if not triple in a matter of weeks if not days! You can find these stocks easily if you do a little research, i am using http://goldenbullpicks.com check them out you will be impressed! And always remember to do your own research. |

ETF's are cheaper than mutual funds. ETFs have very low annual expenses, nearly 20 basis points or 0.2% less. As against this, actively managed mutual funds show average expenses exceeding 135 basis points (1.35%). This does not include the extra 2% - 5% as loads, 12(b)-1 marketing fees, transactions costs, and soft dollar expenses mutual funds, passed on to you but never informed, except in very fine print that nobody cares to read. |
