Isn't a major market for platinum in catalytic converters, which are going to become less prevalent as internal combustion is phased out?

Vince Green Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 You need to sign up to Hargreaves Lansdown and follow their recommendations. I have never failed to get double digit returns by following their guidance. Just to put in into context, my investments with them have grown by 3.6% in the past month and that is fairly typical at the moment. If you are not confident about picking your own choices look at their portfolio plus scheme and let them do the picking for you. I have just set up something for my granddaughter with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashman Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 1. Vanguard’s fees are low and they’re well regarded. 2. Doing anything yourself as a direct investment will probably lead to you being scammed. 3. You appear to be an everyday/restricted investor, so you are limited to “safe” platforms such as Vanguard. 4. Pay an IFA for advice if you want to try something for racy. If your investments fail, the FOS & FSCS try to return your money, so it’s a no lose punt. The FCA are trying to protect retail investors from themselves at the moment. 5. Personally, I’d look at med-tech investments. However, you will never see decent prospects because you’re a retail investor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how you look at it. Lots of people over here are buying in Costa Rico. It’s up and coming. Rent out to make the payments and a little cash. Then save two weeks a year for yourself to vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at buying a laundrette probably about 10 years ago but it went for twice the auction estimate (and that was before things got as silly as they are now). Town where I live, the longest standing unit in the high street and which remains unchanged is the laundrette. Wash dog beds and double duvets and you’ll Always have a business. Someone on here has a couple of laundrettes - he was looking at a bore hole in the back, something about HMRC and his water meter 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
