Question

FOR MAXIMUM RETURNS???

Answer 1

dont invest in a car, it decreases in value

for a fast buck the stock market is your highest risk (the higher the risk the higher the chance you will make more money

Property for a long term investment
its a good sized deposit and you could get a buy to let flat/house on a buy to let morgage

Answer 2

The most important considerations for good advice are your age and what you are saving for and these you have not disclosed. I note you want high returns which automatically means high risk. How much risk can you accept ?

For savings over at least 5 years, I would recommend a low charging unit trust tracking the FTSE All-Share index.
These funds outperform 80% of the much hyped, fabulously paid fund managers and have no risk of going bust. Over the last 12 months this index rose 25%, but of course will not do that every year, and can also fall.

If you want thrills, buy oil exploration shares. If you want absolute safety, you can get over 5% interest from a bank savings a/c.
If I were you, I would put 1/3 of my money in each, but then, I am a bit of a gambler.

Answer 3

For maximum returns, you want to invest in the options market. I dont know if England has options like in the states, but this will be your biggest return. Good luck.

Answer 4

In a car, buy one. Or better invest in the stock market on a good company or save the money for a rainy day.
I would invest in the stock market.
