Virgin Money (Northern Rock)
Opened the new Saver Account @2.85% G when VM launched these a few months ago. The rate is this week advertised at 2.60% for "Issue 2" ? How does this work? Do people like me with the original account still get the 2.85% rate and, if so, can we still add to it? Or is it the case that existing account holders have to open…

Investing in Greece
Any thoughts? The Athex is down over 90% from its peek. I think it presents a very interesting opportunity. I remember the Indonesian stockmarket after the currency collapsed. The market fell by over 50%, and stayed down for about 4 years, but since 2002 has risen 12-fold

Kent reliance 60-day notice account 3.3%
This account doesn't show up in many league tables, but seems to be like a good deal: Kent Reliance's 60-day notice account paying 3.3% if you put more than £50k (3.2% above £25k), which is slightly more than the no-notice accounts. Anyone has any experience with them? I think I am going for it (I already have a couple of…

Bargain Hunt - Which shares do you have your eye on as they fall?
I did quite well last year when Diageo fell with the rest of the market, but it's holding up alright this time round (so far).
