If I gave you 5,000 quid how woudl you invest it?

[Jambo]

In my ecommerce/wholesale distribution business.

 

[sigma]

Lots of penny sweets and a few 10p ones and some chomps, maybe some marshmellows.

 

[Dave M]

zopa?

google stocks seems pretty safe?

zopa, google it, it's fairly safe but good returns.

No stocks are safe, utilities are gold, but tech stocks are always risky - something you'd want to keep an eye on, not buy some and forget about.

Sod off to the far east for another 6 months.

I would buy cases of 1p sweets from a supplier, then when they go up to 2p sweets I would sell them for 100% profit.

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

This.

 

[Mr^B]

I dunno would it be crazy to aim to make over 1k per year lol...what woudl be a good invetemtn to most?

10% per year? 20%. 5%

????

Yes, it woudl be a crazy invetemtn aim.

lol.

£5k is nothing, stick as much as you can in an ISA.

Penny chews are near enough 10p now anyway.

Personally i would invest my £5k into a fat pc setup, bit-grind and make some moneys

(when the economy of bit-mining kicks up)

if you look at how much the price of gold has rocketed since brown flogged a chunk of britains about 10 yrs ago, it may be a good bet although a little risky.

if i wanted to do something more environmentally friendly, safe (and i would definitely do it if i had a family and would remain in the house i currently lived in for the next 30 years), i would put it towards one of these http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk...gy/Sell-your-own-energy/Feed-in-Tariff-scheme

or i may put the lot on barcelona winning the cl next year

all 3 options are win.

 

[Destination]

Right now.

Guaranteed incomes and good rate?

Or something chancey?

Serious question tbh

I'd send you on a sports science course.....

 

[EndlessSky]

What about one of those Nigerian Bank accounts? Or reply to one of those rich Nigerian generals who are always looking for a place to help them stash some cash?

You could always invest it in a meth lab and then start cooking in an RV to fund your family then recruit a local guy to help. You'd need to become a chemistry professor first mind.

 

[DJ_Martin]

I'll read the thread next time, especially for a 1000th post. I am disappoint.

To the people saying they would buy sweets and wait for the price to rise. How would you be able to resist eating your stock with £5k worth of sweets stacked up next to your desk?

I would probably put it toward solar panels.
