What's a good place to put 10K for 10 months?

How about Mutual Funds, they are getting up to 100% returns at the moment. Always try to be alert by watching the market periodically for any sign of a pull back....

Thanks Phil. About how much is the fees on those? The China and Emerging market funds look attractive. Do I have to commit to them for a specific time or can I trade them?

Abe,
Make sure you read the prospectus for fees on those funds. Foreign funds typically have higher expenses than a domestic based fund. Fees can also negate any 'trading' you might do. After the mutual fund mess a year or so ago many funds now impose a fee for what they define as early redemption. An foreign based ETF may be more appropriate if fees become cumbersome.

Ok. Thanks very much Brownsfan.

SHV is a bond fund I put excess cash in. It is an etf, you can buy it like a stock. It gaps down at the beginning of each month because it pays a dividend.
check it out - easy, low risk
