Anyone got any hot tips for the ftse?

Question

any healthy tips would be appreciated

Answer 1

dont do it, read up on Bull and Bear markets, you will release it is about suffer a drop, certainly no more than a year away.

markets have been growing for years and have outstripped their real value, so need to rebalance with a little (10% ish) drop.

The market peaked again this week, so it will be hard to buy and gain much, i would consider high interest savings or premium bonds for the next few months and see what happens.

our economy is not exactly raging so i cant see it rising loads soon, unless you look at very specifc companies or fields which requires excellent knowledge of that area.
