Peeps,
I've been saving for a house for a while now and have a substantial amount saved in an account. I don't fancy buying any time soon as I believe prices still have some way to come down (I live in Dublin) so I was thinking about investing some or all of the money in shares or such like.
Unfortunately, I'm not exactly Gordon Gekko and wouldn't know where to start, all I know is that if you invested in gold this last decade you were on to a winner.
Any financial whizz's out there care to lend me some advice? Would you spread the money around so as to minimise poential losses and is there any point to this if I was looking for a return within 24 months or would you just leave it in a high interest account?
