Good to see that you at last are honest enough to acknowledge the underlying hidden state of the economy. Why did he sell those gold reserves though-you never did answer that!

Invest in property abroad.

Plenty of options for the booms that are replicating the hay-days of the UK.

Plus when you're bragging about your LG & Classic, you can say you've property abroad.

 

£50k + £2-3k on choice options = New RS4

Failing that, I'd do the boring obvious, and pay off the Mortgage.

 

Buy a house in Florida Pete, the property market is booming out there!

 

Welcome to Zopa (UK) - The first lending and borrowing exchange

 

Is this for real?

 

Yes its for real.

I am averaging just under 7% return at the moment.

Some lenders are achieving above 10% return.

 

Cheers all .......

In answer to the question on Premium Bond returns - I am currently getting 8.6% Tax Free!! Pure luck, of course, still good all the same!

Risky, but property abroad (as someone else mentioned) is an option.

A friend of mine has doubled his money buying property in Romania.

Not sure i'd risk it though

 

I'd hire a hit man (or would it be several hit men?)

PS only kidding Pete, SN would not be the same without you

 

Land in this country, not property.

Example, 12 acres of agricultural farm land would cost you a few years ago £52620 (£4385 per acre).
It will then take you 4-5 years to convince planning to turn them into crofts -not houses. (I won't go into specific details here, but we were planning on 12x 1 acre plots).
You need to plant some nice trees and provide services, wind turbine energy is extra brownie points.

When you've done all that and obtained planning permission, you then sell 10 plots of land for £120k each.
Aim for the top end of the market, the owner will spend an extra £200k to build the house, and it's instantly worth £1/2 a million.

Job done
Dave.

P.S. Plots will officially be available from August 14th, but there's 4 sold already.

 

Pete - for a man of your means 50k isn't worth bothering about. Even if you get a risk free 10%...... I think that adds up to about 1p a minute .

 

I'm about to be Banned for a build up of Infraction Points following this thread

What a crock of **** the Infraction System is

 

PMSL

 

they do seem to be handed out ***** - nilly!
can people who do that not be infracted themselves?

InfractionMan (new username for you!)

 

Can only posh members do that?

 

would appear so.........

wrx-kris, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

 

The Infractor should be named .........

Then we would see who the cowards are, who the cry babies are and who have 'issues'

NAME AND SHAME !!!!

 

sounds like you are the cry baby to me

 

Put a deposit down on a few up and coming supercars with a long waiting list. Then over a period of time, sell your position on the waiting list for a profit!

 

That used to work with MORGANS ...... does it still work?

AND I remember clever smartarses paying a deposit on a Jag XK220, a heafty deposit, in the hope of selling their place in the queue.

It all went ****-up and no-one wanted the car ...... they lost ££££££££££££'s!

I didn't get where I am by taking silly chances

 

The infraction system is not only useless but a positively bad thing.

It should be stopped!
