Johnny what did you do in the end??

Apple shares are now $132.34 up from $93.51 an increase of around 42% in 2 1/2 months and a given really since the iPhone was due to launch. They'll climb even higher with the leopard launch at the end of the year.

Google shares are now $541.63 up from $479.06 which isn't as much as Apple and yes they are more expensive but certainly around 15%.

What people need to remember is shares are like property 10 years ago people wouldn't have dreamt of paying such high prices for properties so now they can sell them on as their prices increase. It's great if you can buy them for a low price but others which are pretty likely to increase in value i.e. Apple would have been a good investment for Johnny if he could afford enough. If he had invested say £2k he would now be looking at a return of a profit around £750 today to invest into something else.

EDIT: Just seen you had 6k so you'd be looking at a total of £8250 today. An ISA is the safe thing to do with that kind of money but I personally would have invested some and kept a close eye on it and sold if things started to go south.

Investment advice you say?

Dear Mr/mrs Johnny, suffering from serious ailment. I am married to Engineer Silas…….. an Englishman who is dead. My husband was into private practice all his life before his death. Our life together as man and wife lasted for three decades without child. My husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament. I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from this relationship, which never came.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10 Million (Ten Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the ailment. With this hard reality that has befallen my family, and me I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.

It is often said that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband's hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be with the Almighty when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in UK. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. Due to banking practices in UK, they will need a sum of one thousand Great Britain Pounds Sterling. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your family. Reply to my mail through my email address.

The contact at the bank is Mr Islawambada Brohimbo-Jones, he is a very nice man who you can place all your trust in.

From Mike Steve
