Its not gambling. Its investing. Putting money on the 3.30 at newmarket is gambling.

The reason for doing it is to make gains over the long term at higher rates than savings accounts. Something that has historically always been achievable.

Do you want to put your comments in context as investing for different purposes can result in different ways of doing things with pros and cons with each?

it's not a guaranteed return like loan-sharking though, so I see the reason for the aprehension.

Perhaps the premise behind the OP's apparant disquiet, is that he like many wonders why there is a general motivation and focus on the part of advisers to recommend packaged products usually backed by equities.

As ever I would suggest people pay fees alone if they want truly impartial advice

Or perhaps its just opening threads to get his signature seen

This is just spam, under the guise of creating a discussion, thus more people seeing/clicking the links. What a complete loser.
