What are some good choices for short term investments?


Question:
I have 100,000.00 I want to invest short term (under 5 years) and make as much interest or gain off it as I can. What are some good options?

Answer:
Consider the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund with a current yield of 5.10%:

If you are in a high tax bracket you may prefer their tax exempt money market funds:

Sometimes other institutions will have a higher teaser rate, but Vanguard tends to have the highest yields I've found over the long run.

(If you are adventuresome, you may want to consider putting a small portion in stocks or mutual funds, but you could lose money with your short time horizon.)
Invest in these companies,

AKAM, AAPL, SHLD, HLTH, IMMR, SBUX
Stocks with the help of a Portfolio Manager like myself.
