Right now.

Guaranteed incomes and good rate?

Or something chancey?

Serious question tbh

thats fun but no investment.

If you could make a way to win even more money you could then do more hookers and blow

I would invest it into paying off my current debts thereby increasing my overall wealth by a great magnitude.

Spelling lessons.

SeraphX · 1 Aug 2011 at 21:50

i'd fund a couple of new lenses for my camera, a part time course at college and see what happens

Just my normal savings account tbh, you're never gonna get much of a return off just 5k.

Reginald · 1 Aug 2011 at 21:51

Id bang seven gram rocks cos thats how I roll.

Winning.

Re-investment in something, don't know what though!!

I would like to know how to invest a bit of money online (buy/sell) stocks shares

But I really wouldnt know where to start

compboyo · 1 Aug 2011 at 21:55

My bank is crap these days. I can have 5k and make like minimal internet.

I used to have a post office savings account with like 8-15% interest? Those were the days

Noel Gallagher · 1 Aug 2011 at 21:56

I'd do a Peter Griffin and buy a Helicopter. Sorry.. a PETERCOPTER!

Dave M · 1 Aug 2011 at 22:00

I'd pay down debt.

But assuming I'm not allowed to then either Zopa or I'd take a chance on some tech stocks, Google or Apple probably.

Bennie-Mac · 1 Aug 2011 at 22:00

Pay off debt. Savings on interest would make it a better prospect than most run of the mill investments.

SB118 · 1 Aug 2011 at 22:02

Something seriously risky with a good return.

Then hookers & blow at the weekends.

Paul11 · 1 Aug 2011 at 22:03

It's £5k not £50k, I'd probably just put it towards a holiday or something.
