Try a pyramid scheme..... Seriously speaking,stocks are out of question. T bills will give you some pocket money. What you need is to invest in some fast moving products.... But this can only work if you are already established in such a business. The best option: maintain status quo.

We fail exams because we don't take time to understand what the examinar is looking for! If isn't interested in stocks but money market. What is money market? May be I'm wrong.

Maintain status quo,or go for a 3 month fixed deposit account. The interest rates are good at the moment.

@ jerry. In adult learning,the use of terminollogies does not necessarily imply that the inquirer is well versed in the subject matter. MONEY MARKETS means different things to different persons. In this instance,I find the responses appropriate. Let the guy pick what suits him.

richsure... your friend might want to try ICEA's at 9.24%?

if you can not be kind,at least have the decency to be vague
