Best Investments

I'll take a stab in the dark and say shares in Blizzard Entertainment, especially with all the releases they have upcoming atm, they stand to make a fortune :)

EDIT: I dont know much about shares so that above might be completely stupid :(

In that case, the current share price will reflect such future earnings potential already :)

If you had a bit of spare cash and didn't really know what to do with it, what would you invest it in ?

If I didn't really know what I was doing (which I don't!), I'd go for something safe (i.e. cash investment in ISAs, bonds etc). No chance of making any serious money, but 'risk free' at least.
 
Personally, I would buy some high quality generic domain names, but you have to know what to buy here, it requires a lot of research first, but they can be bought cheaply and sold on for a decent profit if you know what to buy.

Again personally I would buy some shares, but you have to do a lot of reading on the subject and it is definitely not worth it unless you are prepared to do a lot of reading first as otherwise it's very easy to lose money.

I might be watching the property market too to see if the present dip could be capitalised on in some way.

At the very least I would put the money into a high interest account.

Disclaimer ..... do your own research etc.

When conroe was still in pre release a few guys suggested intel stock was undervalued. If you watch it from before the conroe release date up until even now in the market down turn, its still showing a decent profit. It doesnt usually work out simple like that, you cant just buy a company because you think their product is good but its not a bad start for looking at an investment especially if you have a special understanding of the market.

Obviously intel is bigger then that but theres also apple who have risen in recent years on the back of their sucessfull products, google also. I guess there might be others you could guess at in a similar way, always consider the sector as well as the company though.

aren't domain names about to get released form the tyrant .country regime?

this is going to make for interesting purchases and sales, but probably drop the bottom out of this type of trading.

Shares is good if you keep constant tabs on your investments, or buy in something solid.

but as an example: HBOS (halifax bank of scotland) shares were 11quid last janurary, today they are £2.68.

all depends on how much. My honest first thing would be to max out an ISA. every year thats the first thing I do. even if I dont save a panny elsewhere (i.e. last year I bought a house so didnt have any left to save) I still hit the ISA with an injection. put it in and forget.
 
it depends on how much you're looking at, if it's a quick investment or something you want to keep putting money in

put some in an ISA, If you've got a monthly amount to put in look at Halifax's regular saver (10% for a year but max deposit £500/month, or 12% if you have a regular savings account with them as well)
 
I would look at commodities if you have plenty of cash. Copper and some other metals should go up in price. You have Oil is not a bad one either of late :P

A good time to start a regular purchase of those shares maybe, they are the largest mortgage bank and have suffered for recent events but with a p/e of only 2.5 it should go up easily in the long term. They also own substantial interests as far away as australia

Energy companys have allready done well because of oil prices (dont buy at the top)

these shares helped me buy my house. Thinking of buying in again at this price.

as you say on energy and oils, i am not sure if purchasing now is so good, purchasing 5 years ago would have been better :)

always a gamble no matter what though. one piece of advice on share dealing is to NEVER spend money you CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE.

Hope my point is clear :)
