The key term in your question is "short term return". That limits your choices greatly. Equity investments are completely out of the question. During the short term they can very easily drop in value.
As one of your responders mentioned, T-bills is the only investment that makes sense during the short term. They come in 3 month and 6 month varieties. Also shorter terms are available but those two are the most popular. Here is the link to where you can buy them. The big advantage of t-bills is that they are tax free from state and local taxes.

The best way to invest is to see what the best investors are buying and selling. You can see this information at http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is a charting feature, so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500. Also, you can create your own "group" so that you can see how you are doing compared to your friends.

The safe way...a bank cd or savings certificate. If you don't have any good banks in your town, go to bank rate . com for 5 or 6 %.

i wouldnt invest my money in any company because there are so many things that can go wrong for a company. i would just save it and add it up and just keep saving it for emergency money or money when you need it.
