Effectively he just needs to get the attention of his Tutor - in the end he wants a 2:1, not a sure fire way of making a notional £5k in a month.

Perhaps he should focus on the naivete of those that think its possible to get 5% easily in a month using conventional investments and anything with that potential on a regular basis would be speculative and risky.

For a personal finance module, you would expect some realism with the use of conventional investments as teaching anyone that 5% is possible on a regular basis without significant risk would not achieve anything.

This could be where the tutor finds out who understands risk and reward which is one of the major requirements when you invest.

I would really agree with this advice. To demonstrate critical thinking skills, examining the question and its implications should enable him to score more highly than just thinking there is one correct answer and providing this.

HOWEVER if through his research he does find the correct answer, please PM me!

Not if you want 5% per month you won't, no
