From various trust funds i have £25,000 to invest, I plan to do regular £3,000 ISA's, but I went to see an IFA, who said to invest in Equity bonds, however now with the current state of the stock markets, and the fact that I would be charged 5% commission, twice, one from the IFA and one from the equity bonds. Should I leave it in a 6.20% interest rate account?

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/ed075

You could also do what several other Brits did: invest in real estate/land in Bulgaria. With a multi-year average rise in price of 15-18% (this year jan-sept 22%) and Bulgaria joining the EC last january 1st you can get a good and safe investment working double for you (double: you can rent out the property if you don't want to use it yourself). More possibilities are available depending on your plans and goals, now, soon and in the future.

Real Estate Investments in US are also a good possiblity. If you are an investor counting on concrete returns, I suggest that you invest as an investment partner after studying a potential project strategy. You can discuss this more at "D Invest - a yahoo group": d-invest@yahoogroups.com

10% Commission is a killer ... equiv. to about 2 years earnings .. I would say stick to what you understand (Interest Account) whilst learning about Stocks & Shares .. in about 2 - 3 years when the (just about to start) recession bottoms out you can start investing in 'recovery stocks'
