Investing
Subject: Investment Advice With HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50. £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5. However, if you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214. So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.
One of the biggest advantages of working in Bangkok is that the cost of living is substantially less than that of Australia.
So I’ve been looking into ways to invest my savings – call it a beacon toward adult sensibility.
However, with the economic landslide happening at the moment over in the US, tax disincentives to keep my money in Australia and my overall lack of knowledge in what constitutes a solid investment, I’m pretty unsure of what to do, so have turned to my sister’s boyfriend – a man of finance – for a bit of advice.
Here’s what he sent me:
If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95.

Yep, sounds about right. A bit of a lottery really when investing, so good luck.
Is that a picture of your cash for your daily milk and bread purchases?!
Make sure you keep investing wisely cos i'll probably need to hit you up for (another) loan one day.
Mr Bell in the event you might be interested in returning!! Mr Alexander
