How to get the most out of 2000$?

I have 2k in my savings I want to do something with it, but
1-i don't want any long term investments 6mo-1yr seems fine
2-cd's at 5.05% yeah right.. I'll be rich after a year` lol :)
3-stocks? i don't know much about stocks... although i have an account on sharebuilder.com.... I'm ready to take risks but don't want to blow up all my money either
4- "index fund that mirrors the S&P 500 and just leaving it there." somebody wrote this in response to a similar question any idea of what is it?

TAHNKYOUUUUU

Honestly, ... try this.
Visit swisscash.net
I am an investor with them and have a US$50K portfolio there. I'm getting paid every month on time as promised and guaranteed. The average returns are 20% per MONTH!
You can recover your initial investment amount within 8 months and then it's profits on the run from there.
Read the details...it's easy to understand.
It's not an MLM...nothing to 'market'. You can just be an investor and reap ur returns which are guaranteed as stipulated.
You can visit my financial site provided by them at www.swisscash.net/sgamk1632202
There are alot of negative blogs and people tagging it as a scam.
I know what has happened. There were reports that SC investors scammed others...but I wonder why the corrected newspaper reports are not being circulated. It was never a SC involvement but some clowns scamming others by encouraging them to invest with some Swiss Union Bank. Anyway, hell with others. SO far there has been no complaint from a single SC investor that he/she did not get paid as guaranteed.
By the way, I am in touch with some senior consultants of Swisscash and I must say, they are serious dynamic professionals and I'm confident they will be profitable for at least the next few years.
I started with $1K initially and then after my confidence with them, I have now increased to $50,000.

If you have any debt whatsoever just apply it to that. Knock out a credit card or car payment. If you are debt free I would buy a mutual fund in Asia like Mathews Pacific Tiger. It is very volatile but Asia is where the action is at.
