Isa Shares

There are any number of shares & funds that you could invest in. It's all about your attitude to risk and how long term your investment objectives are. With all the money printing that has gone on, a number of people expect the markets to have some sort of melt down, yet the markets have been pretty resilient to date. (Partly fuelled by the money printing) Real assets (Gold, commodities, oil) would be expected to do best if we have a melt down.

e.g. with funds, there are managed funds and exchange traded funds. In theory, the 'experts' managing the managed funds might be expected to beat the indexes. In practise, many do not. The managed funds carry higher charges and the exchange traded funds funds carry the lowest charges. (This is significant in the long term, as gains may be eaten away by charges.
You can buy Exchange traded funds that track many  of the various indices around the world. (FTSE, DAX, DOW, European market, Emerging markets ....) You can also buy ones that contain commodities (Gold, silver, precious metals, oil, Agricultural), technology shares etc) See the list on the ETF prices link. Take a look at DBX trackers & ishares.

I have ISAs with Funds Direct and Alliance Trust. Alliance Trust allow you to hold ETFs in your ISA. (The firms get more out of managed funds, from the higher charges)

Have a good read and a think about it & post some of the investment types you are considering & ask people's views on them. Best of luck.

There's a number of useful links on my website

AIM shares - check out HER and SNRP. As always, DYOR etc, but these two will be absolutely massive within the next 2 years. These are my biggest two holdings atm.

SNRP could be huge - they're in talks for an off take agreement.

Ferrum Crescent (fcr) been mentioned to me this weekend so will have a look and research that one this week. Colleague who tipped it reckons it could be worth 200p (now about 17p!). His argument is the team who are behind the company are very very proven.

CAD is another share that should yield big returns this next few months.

Cheers Joey, I am already on CAD at 24p so very very pleased with that tip

Many Thanks

I've a serious investment in CAD (1.5 million shares). Returns should be enormous.

Joey,

Good call on CAD - i am currently maxed in my isa on RRL with a low average . Have bought XTR recently who look very promising with a very small market cap with a great portfolio currently 4p.

RRL has huge potential with puntland prospects.

XTR I see tipped a lot on forums but it's not one we've studied in depth.

Nice to have these dual listed aim stocks in the ISA - FCR is one very much worth looking at for an ISA play. Massive potential on S.A Iron ore. Some say it could easily get to 100p (currently 17p), only floated at christmas and not yet given great exposure which will change shortly.
