If you want access to your money at any time without penalty, you are pretty much limited to bank accounts, money market accounts and money market mutual funds. Anything else would have some time restriction or early withdrawal penalty. You could do a short term CD, like 90 days, but that probably isn't paying any more than a MMA right now.
