    Lets face it though, it was never really QE as we all assumed it would be, i.e. banks passing it out in the forms of loans.

    It's been hoarded and profiteered on. Never got out into the economy to cause inflation.

    We do have high inflation, looking over a period of years. But the problem is we don't have the wage inflation to go with it, neither do we any products providing savers with a means of keeping pace with inflation.

    So do I. But not enough of my money in them. I never could imagine them being pulled, they have been 'always there'. Should have got into the last 2 issues before last.

    I am still positive on those Shell shares, a nice juicy 7% yield, having said that it is all about diversification.

    OK, I have a theoretical hundred pounds to invest. I also need ready access to it. Do you know of any housing I can invest in?

    And the stock market, eventually.

    Heres a lesson for you...

    The stock market isn't a saving product.

    Anything else I can be of assistance with, just ask :)
