In the news

Last time I went to an IFA I told them that I had some cash but I was looking for a house to buy ASAP. I was expecting them to say 'find a high interest instant access account and come back to see us in a couple of years'. They told me to tie it up in a one or two year bond. Wankers (not that I listened obviously).

my adviser works for Natwest, so only interested in selling RBS products. btw my index bond matures in august 2015 looks like a 27% return in value and better than any high interest account / savings blah blah.. these are rare today and the stock market has been steady for three years.

When quizzed i was told RBS invest in Stock Market companies without asking where the money really goes. So I could be funding a weapons programme, security in hot spot regions, dam building in china, or wake up to muffin empire..

obvs no one qualified to answer the fricking question ffs
