Where to invest £131.20

Comments

  • I am in possession of £131.20.

    Where is the best place to put it? I'm willing to put somewhere high risk, and maybe release it in 5 years time.

    Thanks.

    Spend it on a ceramic pig and a 1970s-issue dollar coin to put into the pig? Not the most obvious thought that comes to mind when training to be MSE, but if OP hasn't yet sobered up from when he posted the question I am sure he will have fun sourcing these items from ebay.

    Pay some of the student loan off.

    The OP wanted to wait 5 years, I think they might have serious problems if it was still there 5 years from now!

    Yes indeed. That kind of stagnation would suggest OP should engage in some quantitative easing and liquify his assets before the bottom drops out of the market.

    I opened my funding circle account with £100 in Feb, I think I now have about £107.

    Maybe you could do something similar?

    I hadn't thought of this, thanks very much. :money:

    Euromillions Mega Week

    To soften the blow, of the price increase from £2.00 to £2.50,
    they are doing a Mega Week with extra prizes.

    I'm certainly buying more.

    Is that a 100million% return on investment?

    If everybody buys lots, and I win £131million, I will invest it in Terminator technology, which self-replicates (because it is cheaper), and take over the world.

    I hear Hugh Heffner sold the Playboy Mansion, did it come with the Bunnies?
