Best place to put your warchest?

[DaveB]

offset current account linked to mortgage ?

W5*S, if you have a mortgage and the best mortgage rate available is still higher than you are getting on your savings then an offset will get you the best return on the cash.

If you don't have a mortgage you're screwed as far as getting a decent return from any of the high street offerings goes.

One Bitcoin is now worth around $73.75, up 84% from just two weeks ago when it was worth around $40.

The cynic in me sees that correcting itself back down to $40.

Saying that, Thomas Cook continues to climb when I wouldn't invest at 80p, maybe I am risk adverse after-all.

My current plan is to get all the expensive jobs done on the house, new central heating and a garage roof have come in with surprisingly low quotes, probably makes sense to get these done when tradesmen are struggling for work.

That was certainly the trick in the early nineties. A former colleague got his rather large barn re-roofed and turned into offices for about 5 grand.

My Lad has loads in some stuff with F&C - been doing really well over the past year.
Otherwise I'd say that the only other option is market trading - but you have to invest in the companies. Even these ETF are sucking these days.
Option three is in your mattress.

I read a newspaper article that said when considering where to put your savings, you should consider the rate of return you are looking for, the level of risk you are prepared to accept, and how accessible you want your money to be.

Well, I'd like a nice old-fashioned savings account, with very low risk, easy access to what is after all my money, and a modest return over inflation.

Not too much to ask, surely?
