<prompt> Human: I have 40k just sitting in my savings account. I would like to take about 25k of it and do something with it. Ive heard about mutual funds and stuff like that but dont know anything about it. What do you think would be the best use of this for mid term growth? I dont desire to stick it in a CD and make 500 bucks over 10 years.  <response>: Have you seen the sidebar article, I have X, what do I do with it? ?
