Hello everyone ,

I m considering investment options and came across an opportunity to invest in a loan note for Terra Firma Energy

My understanding its unsecure loan , but the company is well known .

I d like to know :

1- If you know people got success with their investment and got paid as agreed

2-Your opinion

3-What steps would you take if you were to invest with them ?

Reading your post, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Looking at the accounts of the company, I wouldn't touch it with the world's longest barge pole, even if I were wearing hazmat gloves, standing on the opposite side of the globe, and using a drone to extend the pole further. In fact, I'd rather teach a cat to swim than invest in this.

What have you gathered when you looked at the company account please ?

Over the years lots and lots of well known companies have gone bust.

Yes , but if I use this as a rule , I would not go with any company to invest .

What other options have you looked at ?

Bonds, social housing, buy to let .

Why are you looking at unregulated investments (particularly high risk ones) and not conventional regulated investments?

What is wrong with what the large majority of people hold in their ISA's, pensions etc 

Such as index trackers and multi asset funds. These contain many hundreds of different shares, bonds etc the risk of one going under is much diluted.
