£60,000 to invest

angussavory

Hi, I have £60,000 to invest and am willing to try "high risk" investments for good return (but not something idiotic like forex). Any ideas?
Thanks.

Why is "forex" idiotic?

On that criteria, we have 50,000 odd conventional options with an unlimited number of variations. You are going to need to narrow it down more.

How much of this £60,000 are you willing to lose on these 'high-risk' investments? All of it? If not, what proportion?

Funding Circle

I tend to agree. From an email I just received from FC......

It is coming up to nearly a month since Funding Circle launched to the general public on Friday 13th August, and we would like to say thank you to all our members who have helped to contribute to a very successful launch.

try HERENCIA RESOURCES - HER. Seems to be getting talked about (ramped?) all over but does look interesting. Prefer stuff over a few pennies myself. CADOGAN PETROLEUM CAD should treble your money on very quickly, tremendous fundamentals/balance sheet.

What about buying some land in Brazil. That might be a winner?

Many years ago, there was some scam advert in a national newspaper selling land in Paraguay. You got a lot of swamp for your money.
