Annuities aren't short term investments

you could try CDs or 13 week US treasury notes

At the very least it should be in a better savings account or CD.

if you can't afford to lose the $ then put it in a online savings account, such as ge capital, discover, or ally bank.

The T-notes seem risk free, am I missing something? Why not that at the very least?

There is a thread discussing ask this stuff already.
What do you call short term? How much you looking to make? (Don't say as much as possible)

Synchrony has a 1 year CD at 1.23-1.25% depending on the offer you can find.

Searching function on this forum is annoying at best

looking into the barclays and synchrony - thanks!

Looking to make more than the 0.05% in the bank as I mentioned - not being greedy

You can put into an amex or tiaa direct savings. Both offer 70 bp or better.

I wouldn't mind 5 years...

Barclays has 2.25% for 60 months - looks very attractive

-1, there plenty of annuities with terms similar to CDs (FDAs). Not that I'd suggest one in this situation, but your statement was incorrect.

[bukin86]

Does anyone here have an account with Barclays online?

[ADG]

Is that the best you can do with 15k ? whats the next step higher on the risk factor but below putting it all on red? (anything in the 8-10% yield range)
