    ISA deadline is up soon, where are you going to invest? Is there some value out there at the moment due to the current uncertainty?

    At times of uncertainity one should care about preserving capital rather than trying to profit - the chances of you losing a big chunk of capital is much higher than making a profit. Keep it in liquid cash. Maybe buy some canned goods, matches and some easy to use fuel materials.

        Gold or Gold Funds, thats what ususlly gets recomended when times are looking grim.
        Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.

          Property funds qualify as ISA investments these days.

          The only way is up!

            Any spare penny goes striaght to the mortgage these days, (the cash can come back out as quick as it went in), before the fixed rate is up in 20 months or so...

                    I've been slowly buying bank shares for my pension.

                    Other than that there isn't a lot of value around at the moment, although I'll start buying if the FTSE falls below 5300.
