How would you invest £2000?

I'd have to agree with premium bonds tbh as a safe hassle free way to use money. No risk and I know loads of people who have won reasonable money on them.

You could always buy a government public short term gild. Harder to organise but is inflation considerate and will definitely pay out unless the government falls to pieces.

You can also go for shares but that's again a risky one especially with the FTSE and other big indexes looking as wobbly as they are at the mo.

Online roulette can be fun, give yourself £100 and always bet 1/4 of your total. whenever I've done it I've always ended up on top. Had a mate who using that managed to win £1500 from £100. but he is a sod.

My first thoughts were a high interest account or an isa of some sort but I'm not sure. I want it to make me something but I'm not expecting to much back. I'm able to invest this much every 18 months so after say six years I'm gonna have 8k to play with plus what ever I make on top. I Could keep it going until I retire which is another 35 years.

Anybody else invest there cash?

If it's any use to you, i have a savings ISA with natwest with about £2.6k in it. The interest is paid monthly currently at ~£12 a month. Not a great deal i know, but i don't want to tie the money down just now as i might need it in the next year or two. If i add just £40-£50 a month to it on top of the interest its supprising how quick the balance increases.

the temptation to draw 50% out and build a high end PC is a bit much sometimes!

I think he is looking at it from the angle of your money is 100% safe and you have a chance of "winning" a lot.

Taking averages in to account mean nothing if you drop 2k in to bonds and win 50k the month after...
 
shares, isa's, premium bonds, interest saving account. At the moment with how the market is i wouldnt put it into shares..
