need advice re Money Markets

Hi, all. My husband and I have only ever had a standard checking/savings account and would like to set up a higher-yielding money market account in which to park emergency funds and funds for home renovation. We have about $10k to start with. I have heard the Zions Bank in Utah has great rates for money markets, as well as Countrywide (I think) and some others. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on the best/most reliable institutions for excellent rates, or any general advice regarding money markets. Thanks!

Well, I can't provide you with banks and their exact rates but you could invest into gold futures or if you don't want to speculate bonds could be an alternative.
