Taking into account the appalling situation with London’s banks, I decided to research some alternative investment opportunities. There are plenty of them around, but all require some kind of investment (the hint is in the term), some grasp in what you are undertaking, and some backbone.I am in possession of none of the above skill-set, so I mailed those helpful guys at rgfunds.com, and they helped me immeasurably. I can now say I am now the proud owner of some juicy alternative investments knowledge, and can shout that I play the Stock Market. We only invested a few thousand, but it makes me feel great, if a little terrified, that I am doing something so positive.
