It's been the cr@ppiest week in forever, my personal highlight was being cornered by an Egyptian Cobra on Saturday afternoon in my house. 
Really? Standing up and spreading your hood for me? I'm still annoyed and horrified as the snake catcher could not find him - if I don't post anymore, you know why.

Apparently I like this assignment

Short term ‘investing’ – or better known as ‘trading’-strategies. - Not written in stone, just what I've noticed.

When world markets down/recession – Go for resources, mining (except when annual strikes take place- coincide just before union voting usually around Sep - wonder why)
When ECB, BoC, Fed announces QE – go for anything.
When Fitch/Moody upgrade country – go for anything but mostly Finance Stocks, Banks
When Reserve bank cut interest rates – go for finance, retailers, consumer goods
When there is a World Cup-anything, go for construction, infrastructure, tech, media
IPO’s  in big companies or new ones with huge/worldwide potential (Facebook comes to mind)
Buy on rumours of buy-outs, mergers - sell on confirmation
Buy week before LDT, sell by that Friday before close - yes you'll miss the divvy but you'll also skip the Ex-div share price on Monday - (except when it's a hugely successful company - only a temp dip so stay in and pocket divvy)
Stay mostly with Top40 when investing in SA, add a few wild cards/speculations

Hallo Nathan1014 

“Short term high yielding investment.” 

For me, that is a self-contradicting statement, oxymoron if you will.

Investment by nature implies long term, even if you could wing it somehow, tax on short term investment will bite you every time. As for the reason for investing in specific share, always the same – long term value company with tangible prospects, solid company.

Good Luck on your studies.

{Edit:  If they just want a La-La-Land answer, you could 'invest' short term for divvies & on rumour/speculation }

That pilot - what a boytjiie!
