Now is a good time too invest as everything is low because of Japan and Libya but it could take a fair while of losing a bit and gaining a bit before it evens out.
The thing to look at is AIM penny shares. My girlfriend and i both have a grand in shares in a petroleum company drilling in Somethingastan. She bought hers at 2p a share and i bought mine at 4p and they are currently about 3.8p a share so i am losing a wee bit but she has basically doubled her investment since January! The thing is is that if these guys strike oil then they should go up to 50p+ a share and we could make £30000 but if they go under we have lost £2000. It obviuously wouldnt be ideal but we can afford to lose that money and that is the key.....only invest what you can afford!
