Question whats the best way to make money with £6k ?

I personally think the fastest way to make money with £6k would be to play the stocks and shares, other mate thinks £6k would be better off in post office premium bonds, dont know whos right, if either of us, wondered what scoobynetters thought ?

Buy and sell cars if you know what you are doing, stick to a grand/ two grand each to limit your liabillity and get trading, could easy double that figure in six months. Made 3 grand last year, and then binned most of it on a Fiat Coupe, oh well.

If you have no Stock Market knowledge then it's certainly the second quickest way to lose your money, next to burning it.

Premium bonds are a no brainer and could earn you a million in 3 months, then again you could still have 6K in 10+ years.

Selling cars requires knowledge too although a sheepskin coat helps.

You need to find something you know about to gain.

If you're not 100% sure then with only 6K you'd be better off in a higher interest account somewhere, taking advantage of your tax breaks.

Boring but realistic.

Put it in an ISA. Reasonably safe, high interest and no tax.

Question

high interest bank ac eh, not to quick of a return tho, or have i got that wrong ?

I rekon the buyin an sellin cars could be a lot of unwanted bother, the stock an shares seems to be a fairly good ide to me, jus pick a well known company, buy cheap sell high...?

Can it be that easy ?

In a word, no.

If you want to make money out of the stock market you need to do your homework. Yes you may get lucky, but without the time and effort invested doing your research you're basically just playing roulette with your money.

A bet on Labour to win the Election is a safe bet .....

When I put £10k on the bet the odds were not good - but, I will gain £1600 when they win ......... its as good as in the bank!!

And then they'll have it off you within months as more new taxes start to feed in.

if my guy scratches a car outside the wash, i will pay for it myself, if it is a large sum the public liabilty insurance will cover it £700/year for the top policy )

if the car is scratched in the carwash itself its out of my hands and the franchise owners pay up

swings and roundabouts

the cash is also made from the valets + other services you offer, i am looking into one of them paintless dent removal courses in the near future, so my customers can pop in for a valet and get a few dents popped out,
if you snooze you looze
