Re: Savings or bonds
ONLY go for 100% GUARANTEED return..unless your risk appetite is strong!! I think its good to be able to have access to your funds when ever you need them..thus I would personally go for a bank's high interest e account. Do govt bonds really pay that much more and can you access your wedge if needed?? Having said ALL that the one or two finance companies left like Marac and UDC must be worth a look too..they have the govt guarantee scheme and UDC has a double AA rating..have a gander.
