Not surprised. I've met too many rich kids with inherited wealth - and they tend (with a few exceptions) to be total tosspots. If I can afford it I might leave my kids with a mortgage free property to get them started. That's good enough, I reckon.

Apparently Bill 'Boy' Gates is still promising to give away 90% of his wealth before he retires, so might be worth your while sending him an email as well...

Quite SG.

And let us not forget, you cannot live in a stock nor a share, for that matter.

Property for the long run, stocks and shares for both the short and long.
Balanced portfolio, old bean.

Up 3.9%?

But if you'd put your money in a FTSE tracker it would be at least 12.5% up over the year...

PS: Apologies to AtW, but the BBC just won't listen to me
