Hello online investing community!

I have about $10,000 I will not need to use for about 6-9 months and would like your opinion on how to invest it to maximize yield.

Details: I can afford to loose only 10% ($1,000). I have other investment portfolios and strategies; I would just like your opinion on this one move. I have the money sitting, waiting in a Scottrade online account.

The original plan was to place this money into a conservative mutual fund, however I have been tracking a few low risk funds with 5 star Morningstar ratings and they have been doing very, very poor since I’ve been watching. (TAREX, AIGYX, HWMIX).

So I’m not sure what to do. What would be the best investment? CD, Bond, Bond Fund, Mutual fund, Conservative stock pick?

The more specific the better!

buy any stocks then sell: deep in the money covered call options each month until you need your money again. For example buy EBAY right now at 39, sell a covered call option for october at 35 for a 4.60 premium. You wont lose ANY money unless ebay falls 60 4.60 cents, and you'll gain 60 cents/share for 1/2 a month. 1.5% for 1/2 a month with little risk, less risk then the aforementioned.

1.5 percent? You mind as well put it in ING. ING gives 3.4 and its FDIC insured.
