Short Term Investment???

    I am saving to go travelling and plan to go in June next year.

    At the moment I have €1500 sitting in my savings acc, will also be getting another €1500 in Oct and €3000 in Dec, other than that I will sell my car before I go.

    I hate to have the money just sitting there doing nothing but also realise it is a relatively short period of time.

    Does anyone have any ideas of how I could make it work for me?

    Would it be worth my setting up an online account and investing in shares?

    Stick it in RaboDirect. 5% per annum.

    Shares - you could lose it all.

    Inflation is running at 5.1%.

    But Rabo or something like it is probably the best that you can do.

    if it was a 99 percent deadcert the odds offered would be 1/150

    I would maybe stick it in a Rabo investment fund - more stability than a single share, and greater potential funds than a current account.
