With winter upon us, this might be your best short-term play. Good luck.

This is a very risky venture. If you "need" to put your money in stock for 25 days then it sounds like you "need" to make money and can't afford to lose any. Having a one month time horizon is not a prudent way to invest.
If you must invest for the short term it depends on the amount of money you have and time on your hands. If you have a decent amount of money I would look at large cap stocks traded in the DJIA b/c they will offer high volatility. This also means that you should monitor the share value constantly and try to buy on dips and sell on peaks. You can do this several times a day and probably make decent money. But odds are.... you are going to lose. Make sure to place "stop limit" orders on day trading.

with a short period of 25 days the only stocks that could make decent profits are high volatile stocks.
you should talk to a stock broker who can give you proper advice.
even some of the best stock traders lose money on stocks u never know whether it will go up or down.
also stocks arent the only way to make money, think about some other options.

The answer to your question is very trickey!
If this is your first investment, then you may want to buy mutual funds. if you already hold some stocks or mutual funds (also called as MF's) then you may want to take a look into the market trend and buy them. As far as my knowladge goes, tech stocks are in huge demand, better choice probably!
But If you want to invest it for a short period of 25days! its not advisible. you are better off keeping that in some high return CD or savins accounts

you don't buy stock with such a narrow, fixed time horizon. Just forget it.
