How would you invest 10grand?
If you kept 10,000 GBP out of your mortgage demands or other financial commitments,...how would you invest it to maximise it?

I'm a worthy investement!!!!! lol
Or buy some shares in an oil company, get a good dividend and share value on the up.
Or find someone who's looking for backers on their business venture (make sure it's a damn good idea though)
Or buy one hell of a lot of lottery tickets and let the good times roll

Why not?
I was actually told this by a financial advisor (with nothing to gain ) a few years ago.
he always advised his clients, who were retiring, to invest a few bob

I'd spend a quarter of it on booze, a quarter of it on the horses, a quarter of it on loose women and probably just blow the rest.

hiya, off the top of my hat it would be oil production.....with oil prices near all-time highs, the prospects for excellent returns from direct investment are the best in many years, have to shop around though....good luck
