Looking to invest 150000 has anyone got any ideas on what to invest in.
looking at Pipex and Healthcare enterprise group

Desire Pet. is still a good buy if you fancy a roller coaster ride! Don't forget to hold on tight.

Two essential investments for everyone:

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham updated recently by Jason Zweig

A Random Walk Down Wall Street by ??? Malkiel ??? (spelling unsure) now in its eighth edition

Each of these books will cost around 10, possibly including postage. I got the second one from Amazon and the first from a bookseller's on the phone. They're probably both available on Amazon; in addition, Investor's Chronicle seems to be recommending both of them in its "book club" and giving a phone number to order them.

Shares magazine and Investor's Chronicle are for keeping up to date with what's happening week by week; the books are more for strategy and understanding how markets work.

After reading lots of exciting "get rich quick" stuff, these two books were a breath of fresh air. The Intelligent Investor, in particular, contains a large dose of solid common sense. These books are possibly the best investments you will ever make because they will warn you against being silly with your money and throwing it away on wildly speculative shares or losing it gradually on commission charges and share-price spreads.
