Which investment options would suit my goals?

Q.

I?m 23 years of age, just finished university and am now working full-time earning $50k. I'm looking to buy a house in a year and a half. Since beginning work this year, I have saved $10,000 and my family have given me $50,000 to invest. Which investment options would suit my goal?

For a short time frame like 18 months you cannot afford entry or exit fees or the risk of the market falling. Therefore I suggest you stick with the on-line high interest bearing accounts offered by the major lending institutions.
