  • I'm now thinking of gettng my graduate account with HSBC, so I can make use of the global invesment centre. I like the idea of funds so I was thinking of holding say for example, 2 bonds, the FTSE Allshare tracker and 7 medium/high risk funds. Obviously I have a lot of learning to do!!

    Its always a good idea to be really diversified so you won't be hit by a downturn in any one sector or geographical region - and your idea there is pretty well diversified, with an overall risk appetite that looks in keeping with your age. I think you're on the right track here.

    I was going to start buying using HL. Opening up with about £500-£1k at first to get started.

    I am looking long turm like 5-10 years depending on how it goes.

    HL is good for unit trusts and its the best idea if you are new to investing

    Microsoft is down 9% today, its just lost its May gains so we'll see how it progresses, or not
