Short Term Bonds

Options
Hi Everyone,

Can anyone recommend the best short term (say 6 months or less) bonds? By best, I mean highest interest rates.

Thanks,
Suzkin.

    Thanks very much to both of you! I've looked at both sites, and will be making a short-term investment.

    argh. two pet hates in the same thread/post.

    Bond instead of fixed term deposit and investing instead of saving. ;)

    Don't worry suzkin, its the banks that are for blame for this incorrect terminology. As seen in the natwest advert when they say bamboozle them with terms like bond...

    I think I am on a loosing battle with this one though :)

    Oopps! Sorry about the mistakes in my terminology. However, I'm open to new learning, and will try to steer clear on the word 'bond'.... I sorted out my ISA and bond this morning, and they seemed to do what they said on the tin....:j
