    Put it into a savings account with Irish Nationwide. You might qualify for 10/12k payout when they demutualise next year. you'd want to be quick though.

    How quick would you need to be?

    What's demutualisation?

    Is this definitely happening and when do you reckon is the cut off point? What is the minimum you need in your account to qualify for shares and how long must your account be open for in order to qualify to you know?

    Too late from the night before to read all that ;)

    Could anyone tell me in laymans language - if I put 10K into it Tuesday will I get a return?

    In all fairness, for a 10k investment, you really need to spend the 5-10 minutes it will take to understand the issues. It's not a black & white issue - read the thread (which is really in laymans language already), then make your decision. Please don't make 10k investments based on posts on any bulletin board.

    To get back to the original poster, you won't get a high return over a short period without taking on high risk. When are you going to need this money? What's your overall financial position - mortgage? property? pension? income?
