<prompt> Human: Ive got some money saved up and Im still saving for a down payment for a house sometime this year, so Im looking for places to invest it safely for the next few months. Im told that mutual funds are a good place for short-term, low-risk investments. Keep in mind Im in a relatively high tax bracket so tax-free investing is especially attractive. What are some good places to invest?  <response>: A few months? Dont invest. Just keep it in the bank. There are no investments that will give any significant or reliable return over that short of a timespan. Most short term investments e.g. short term bonds are meant for more like 1-3 years.
