Yep my main concern for this part of my investments is safety with return above bank interest but having some flexibility may be a good idea. After all it wasn't that long ago that banks paid more than the current 30 year yield on a straight savings account. I may have to investigate Munis somewhat as I assume they are relatively safe. My day trading (through trademonster) is non-qualified and I'm in NC (just moved here). Any hints on good municpal bond sources appreciated, but I'll be googling too so don't need to impose too much if you have nothing handy.

Thanks much again,
