    Awww! I never got round to investing my money into the UK-based high technology start-up they were listing, the kind of company which I usually associate with having the cash burning ability of a blast furnace, but which was caring enough to provide return to its investors whilst it was still developing its product and before it was able to generate any income. Oh well, my gain is someone else's loss...

    It is always different this time. The only thing that is the same is the outcome.
    Portfolios are like personalities - one that is balanced is usually preferable.

    Nearly everyone knew it was going to happen.

    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    To be fair to Jegersmart I think what he was saying was we cannot dismiss every opportunity without investigating it first.

    After endless googling I am no closer to finding out if this is a legitimate company or not, some say it is and some say its not. Is there any way to find out?

    why be so keen to know, and not just choose your own investments or see a financial advisor?

    Yes, but you can dismiss things like uinvest after spending as much time investigating as it took me to type this sentence.

    Nothing about it rang true, nothing about it smelt legitimate, and nothing about it was worthy of more than a cursory glance. Anyone not able to see this will find themselves being scammed over and over again because of their own gullibility and willingness to believe in the impossible.

    Brilliant!

    Now there's a woman who doesn't need make-up as no-one will ever look at her face.
