There's always exchange rate risks of course but the rates are higher out there which hedges/negates the currency risk I'd have thought?

There is also significant tie in for the highest rates, not sure the other rates are worth the time organising though, unless you have links and cash already there

Yes. Stock market fell 2% today. It fell 0.02%. It's a totally yield bond though. Get about 5.5% or something. Buy through discount stockbroker like hl or iii so no charges.

If anyone is considering investing in bitcoin be very careful. In addition to the normal risks the bitcoin trading arena is full of scams. I have just been conned out of a grand. pm me if you want the name of the broker to avoid.

If you want investment advice for what to buy 3-10 years ago I can share several suggestions. I'll trade my advice for a go in your time machine -- fair?

I'll trade my advice for a go in your time machine -- fair? Can one of you put a bet on for me that Leicester will win the premiership in 2015/16 - you should get good odds in 2008! (Leicester are outside the top two divisions back then.)

I think the real question is, were you particularly looking to buy sterling denominated junk bonds? If that's your genuine requirement then this is probably a reasonable way of achieving it.

I got good odds (17-1 IIRC) at Xmas. Good considering that they were top of the table at the time. I only wish I had bet a lot more.

Yes, every time they were top of the table. (Best discontinue this infantile natter as people are apparently looking for serious advice. Good luck on finding any here.)
