dinsdale Report post Posted September 23, 2005 HiWhat can I do with 40k so that I can invest it properly before buying a house? What deposit accounts offer the best returns? cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why not go for a 1 year bond? - I've done this with the West Brom and Portman Building Societies over the last couple of years. OK - it's not sexy but if you need a regular fix you can get the monthly interest paid into a current account. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

right_freds_dead Report post Posted September 24, 2005 buy a 10k gold bar investment package and a ground safe. 10k in a 1yr savings account. slap 10k into prem bonds and use £9,625 to flutter about in stocks. the other £375 use to buy a fridge full of red stripe and a radio ga ga single.

vinny Report post Posted September 24, 2005 I'm so glad that the advice given here has not been that of double your money on spread bettin,oil vs. gold, time share, derivatives, split caps etc. Anyway : there is a tread pinned in the investment in general area dealing with the best rates. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roman Abramovitch Report post Posted September 24, 2005 The current odds about "my lads" beating Aston Villa in the Premiership are 1/4 so a wager of £40,000 will return £50,000. Nice return for an afternoon's work. Have a good weekend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
