Getting rich

[mudskipper]

I'm off tomorrow. Expect a whinging about jetlag thread. And a whinging about Americans thread. And a whinging about work thread.

FTFY

I'm gonna be sat in my y-fronts alone tomorrow. Expect the usual fantasist bollocks I spout.

Good luck!

Yeah, but as you're not on the same plane with your flatulence problem I think we may make it.

She's not allowed to charge for that!

I can assure you that is untrue. She just doesn't charge very much.

Following the RM fiasco, I've got a shade under 5k in cash sitting in a stocks and shares ISA.

I could just return it to my negligible interest savings account, but wouldn't mind giving the investment thing a go.

So what's a good idea for a beginner? Managed fund? FTSE 100 tracker? Individual shares?

Thinking a mixture - perhaps 2K FTSE 100 tracker, 1K BP shares (or Vodafone?), and the rest in a managed fund?

Haven't a clue what I'm doing - just want to make sure that the above doesn't sound really stupid...

This is where I would put money at the moment: an all-Europe (including UK) index tracker.
