Lump sum saving for grandkids
I wish to invest a one off lump sum for my grandkids aged 3 years and 3 weeks. Their parents are saving for them as well.

I want to keep control of it in case…

debit card question
I recently used my debit card to the amount of £4000 . This was rejected and a call from the banks fraud squad happened in minutes. While this was good it leads me to ask the question of how much I can spend or move with my debit card without sending alarm bells off? Thanks.

Shares and CGT planning..?

Anyone just had a Post Office 7.05% bond mature
Hi, Last September I put 35k into a 12 month fixed rate 7.05% bond which matured on 10th September. From early August I started to receive the usual blurb to reinvest with further bonds once this matured, I didnt intend to as the PO uses Bank Of Ireland and is outside the FSA scheme, I'm sure Ireland wont go bust, but…

Reviewing my investments
This will probably come over as naive - but I'm looking for some advice ... About a year ago I started a regular monthly investment into some funds, via H-L (not an ISA, already used that). Not noing quite how to play it, as there's a lot of conflicting advice out there, I went for half of it in an all share tracker, and…

To sell soon and then dripfeed back in?
Ok not sure what to do so I want a few opinions. So far my investments over 3 funds have gone up quite a lot in the last few months and I suspect will continue to do so over the next month.

Norwich and Peterborough RS deposits
Just got my passbook for the N&P 5% RS. Bumf makes mention of deposits in branch and by post - they even enclosed a couple of envelopes to send cheques.

Zopa - what are the realistic returns if you lend?
Hi folks, I have around £20k to invest in the mid-long term and was looking at zopa as an option as it looks interesting. The thing is they dont exactly make it clear for you to work out what the returns might be, the bad debt isnt explained very clearly so its hard to work out what you might ge back. Does anyone one know…

The only safe way to invest is to Hedge for safety
You can maximise your ROI if you use a leveraged product such as spread betting (tax free) or CFD's (similar but TAXED). I know most people either don't think about them, or are scared. BUT Use them properly and you can 'Hedge' your postions, which eliminates the risk of losses and maximises your profits. Basically you can…
