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

Scrip's lottery

Depends on what sort of returns you are after. I would suggest CFDs and/or Forex for the best returns, but they do have a higher risk.

I have some nice south sea island equity i could let u have at a small premium. I also do a good line in Tulip Bulbs.

i have a lovely line in canadian wildcat explorers i can recommend!

I'm very big in ladies underware.

The Other Kevin, ROFL.

Just money, Investing in something decent other than highly speculative loss making small caps.

What do you guys/girls thinks about Pipex and healthcare enterprise group and sorry dscott62 am new to shares so i dont know what Forex CFDs is but i dont mind high risk

I'm in Pipex and it has plenty of potential. Good management but it doesn't do anything very much. I would suggest you read previous postings and look on ADVFN BB. The one I'm starting to get excited about is HMY. Again read old postings and look at other bb's. You must get a feel for a stock yourself and don't be influenced by other's. Research as much as you can. Look at the management of a company as they are the people to increase shareholder value. And remember it's easier to loose that to gain.

One more thing, with the amount you have I would suggest you look at several investments rather than one. It spreads the risk and don't get carried away with greed and blinded by the numbers.IMHO

justmoney - Sorry to have been flippant earlier but if you have 150k to invest and don't know anything about shares, don't be tempted by anything you read on any of the bulletin boards. Put the cash on secure deposit and then DYOR.

Agree, Or at least spend some of that money buying a course or something so you can learn.

guys, there is caution and there is caution.

dip your toe into a stock or two to become familiar with the mechanism and habit of trading the market (i mean a few thousand pounds).

keep those stocks in a FTSE 250 name and steer clear of small caps. the last thing you want is romp home a winner in your first week and then realise that they are not all that easy...as you lose a few hundred grand!

IQE IS FLYING AT THE MOMENT. YOU COULD RIDE ON THE MOMENTUM

How much will you pay me!

Watch, buy in cheap and sell high.

The is no rush to buy stock until you are sure you have a feel for the one you are looking at.

Make sure you do all the research you can, on all sites you can subscribe to.

If you are lucky you will win.

If you are foolish you may still win, but then again probably not.

I could give a deeper analysis of certian stocks but so can every one else. We are all experts in our fields, or at least we think we are!

Market is generally rising which is nice, but it is better to do a little bottom feeding like daves dazzler does, sometimes!

He waits for a company to make a sudden big drop in price (evaluating the reason why it drops and the likelyhood of a bounce back over a period of time),and buys in at usually the right moment, and then sells before it tops out, therfore avoiding any further drop.

Clever!

My he is also so flippant!!!

Nice one seawall.

Fund manager:

If you give me the money I can deduct my money for managing it, deduct the MMs fees on the spread, deduct the stamp, oh and you want me to manage it for more than five seconds... that will cost you another percent or so... costs are expensive these days... now we will manage it.. sell.. deduct MM spread, deduct costs, deduct fee for managing to do it

Deduct money to send you report for telling you how we are doing.


Oh, did we say what you lost on that share... oh never mind, it is very useful to be able to offset that against the massive gains and big CGT that you may have to pay.
(incidentally and not joking on this one, I actually got a big high profile solicitors in London charging big fees to be executors on an estate who messed up on transactions telling me words to that effect!)

Anyway what I am saying is.. why are you asking BBs this? You have a bit of dosh, so?

Are you trying to impress?

Okay will I counter that..

'more than one' of my trades I have on at the moment is more than that.... will you give me your money to manage.

Will you trust me?

Will you buy things I tell you to buy?

Do you trust me?

Be careful, and good luck!
