As I type, the Dow just dipped 400 points...Cash is good, right now.

Look at the minimum amt required, the ability to electronically exchange to bank accts, the tax-reporting procedures.
'
All of the mmkts are close in yield, which is currently pretty low...but you can also purchase short-term corporate and muni (tax-exempt & AMT-free) bond funds, which have at least 3 x the yield of the money-market accounts...their principals aren't guaranteed.

EverBank.com has some short and intermediate-term CD's which ar a possibility for a portion of the cash...they're FDIC-insured and can be in commodity, or currency-backed formats.

Look for a MM where your deposit is fully insured and no possible loss of principle. Then of those look for one that pays the most interest. Although, MM's tend to run close to one another.
