Balance transfer, or pay off card with investments?
I wish to stooze and put the money into HL funds, which I can sell anytime and have in my bank account within a week. Would it be entirely practicable to, when the 0% period expires to sell the investments, pay off the card, and begin again with the next card? The object here would be to avoid the balance transfer fee.

That is my first priority. Money-making comes second. I have two credit cards, total limit of £4,300. If I stooze at less than…
