€3k for short term investment?

Cyrus

I have a few quid just sitting about and am looking for something to put the money into for 4-6 weeks

anyone got any good ideas

bank - I think its either TSB or ulster bank that offer decent rates for thirty day deposits..

You can't get a decent return in 4-6 weeks unless you buy 3k worth of drugs and sell them to your friends at twice the cost. This however could land you in jail for a period of no less than 10 years.

aren't TSB doing 5% on deposits over 2k and paying every thirty days?

westside

i think first active.ie are doing 5.22 and also pay int after 30 days

so my brother is getting a loan of ten k for a car..
would it not look a bit boggy if he stuck it in the tsb or where ever for 30 days and took it out again .
cab watch everything not thats its illegal.

3K for 30 days @ 5%? I'm not going to try working it out on a daily calculation but probably less than a tenner after DIRT. Not worth the time it takes to go to the bank to open an account.

A shoe box to be honest.

Money clip? Seriously though, you won't get much for that small an amount of time. An idea might be to lodge it with your local credit union to build up a history with them if you ever want to arrange a loan or something.

Prize bonds? The gamble may be worth the hassle of buying them and cashing them in.

That's actually a pretty good idea.
