best place to put money?

[Solidec]

someone noted this lot aren't covered by financial regulations on another thread recently

Well yes because its not savings, you are investing cash. Are shares or property covered by financial regulations? Same types of risk involved.

If you want guarantees, stick your money in a bank.

Else zopa is a valid alternative for decent returns.

is that a question or a statement?

actually I'm not entirely sure, as I have never stopped my salary and dividends

the point being that it sounds a lot like banking, giving people loans etc

actually it sounds a lot like loan sharking
