For a one off £100 fee I have a list of the favelas guaranteed to show 100% growth in the next 3 years. It's a bit like Phil and Kirsty's guaranteed growth list of 'up and coming' areas of the UK as shown on Ch4.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostComment

"NS&I index-linked certificates are worth considering. Both the five-year and three-year certificates pay a rate equivalent to 1.35 percentage points above the Retail Price Index (RPI).Originally posted by Bagpuss View Post
Last week RPI crept up to 4.1 per cent, thanks largely to higher interest rates and mortgage repayments. This means that savers with index-linked certificates are now receiving a return of 5.45 per cent. Given that this is tax-free, higher-rate taxpayers would have to get a gross rate of 9.08 per cent to be better off. "
A good safe bet once you've already ploughed enough into gold, energy and BRIC funds.Comment
