If you had £50,000 UK Sterling and had to invest it today, what would you do with it?

Or £10k, or £100k. Don't change up the currency. Is there anything worth buying in Britain these days?

 

Have fun paying 0.5% stamp duty and staying poor.

 

maybe buy a ticket out of there and go somewhere freedom is allowed.

 

Spread bet the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices, tax free profits.

 

FWIW, quick web search;
The top 5 stocks in the FTSE 100 Index by 1-year total return as of January 16, 2025 are:

1. NatWest: +101%
2. Rolls-Royce: +94%
3. DS Smith: +84%
4. IAG (International Consolidated Airlines Group): +83%
5. Barclays: +81%

 

I'd split it in between the stock & Crypto. what 'bout you?

 

If you want to INVEST in GBP, I would consider long-term UK Gilts.

Prices have been under pressure in recent months amid the outlook for increased UK borrowing, offsetting 'safe haven' demand linked to the economic outlook. Worst case return -assuming no UK default - is mid- to high- 4% (in nominal terms of course), but there's potential for a higher return if economic conditions in the UK improve.

But I guess this is probably not what you want to hear on a 'trading' forum...

 

What in fuckery are you on about?

 

Social media do that to people.

They think we live in a Mad Max world where darker skin people rob us and stub us like there is no tomorrow lol

Let them believe... Opium for the masses

 

A zero can make a huge difference in someone life.

Also, the fact that you are in Britain or hold GBP doesn't mean you have to buy local in 2025... Just keeping the pound has been a terrible investment since economically speaking idiotic Brexit.

The only decent European stock I have is ASML.
But over 90% of my investments are in the American market.
Why should I bother with domestic or patriotic investments...

All I care about is me
