Hi,

Iv been saving around 200e a week for the last year on aib online savings. Im thinking some of this money might be better invested.

The last few weeks iv been looking at stocks and trying to learn about investing.

I have an inital 5k to invest, im 23 with no ties, so not really worried about loss.

Im thinking of planning my portfolio like this

40% bluechip stocks
40% gold
20% other stocks and silver

What would be my best option regards buying theses?

Bluechip, good broker for these?
Gold, looking at bullion vault and goldmoney, would pert mint be better?
other stocks mostly uk and irish, so thinking of goodbodies or davies.

Also looking at the option of prizebonds too, are they worth it?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks
