    Possibly a physical ETF that tracks the price of rare earth elements.
    They seem to be up for increasing usage, but as their name suggests many are in fact "rare"

    Holding for life would be no good as far as capital gain goes because you'd never be able to sell it
    Don't forget tax-free uplift to probate value on death and no CGT on death!!

    Hung up my suit!
    I think like others - a decent (preferably income producing) low cost ETF.

    My last investment was iShares STOXX Europe 600 Insurance UCITS ETF which has a nice 4.8% yield
    Money won't buy you happiness....but I have never been in a situation where more money made things worse!

    Money for nothing........

    I know its been around forever, but do you not think eventually people will stop buying it to a degree? With all the health awareness increases regarding how toxic sugar is? I know they have reduced the sugar in certain products, but it is still total junk after all.
