Definition: When a business or investor "parks" their money, it means they have moved it to cash, cash equivalents, and other "safe" and conservative investments until they see an opportunity to move back into stocks or bonds.  It is used predominately when the market is thought to be overpriced or unstable.

Example: Bob thought that the market was getting too expensive, so he sold his stocks and moved them to a money market account to wait until general stock prices fall.
