Hold onto the cash. You may well need it down the line. It's not alot.
I'd agree or at least put in an account which you can access within 100 days or less but don't expect much interest (UK Nationwide seems best at the moment).
Good luck with your new studies.
If you wanted to invest a portion eg 50%, I'd recommend looking at National Grid (UK), Irish Continental Group and IFG Group. Good divis and reasonable capital appreciation and yawn SP value scan go up and down etc.0 -

You have made my point for me newacc2015. S&P was at 1500 in 2000 and 666 in 2009, hows that for a 9 year return. The point being it depends on your entry and exit.newacc2015 wrote: »There are thousands, probably millions of traders who successfully trade Silver Futures. There are thousands more who invested in Silver 10 years ago and have seen their investment triple.
Who are massive traders of Silver? Gold is traded more and is thrown into the pensions for 'risk diversification'.
Are you aware Silver was around $15 an oz in May 2006, it is now around $15 in May 2016. Where are these people who tripled their money? Plus they lost out of dividends versus shares. The annual return on the S&P 500 during the same period would have been 10% pa.
SNP is close to all time highs and I know you know to buy low and sell high
[font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]To the Original Poster, With a timeframe of 5 years I would park my money in real assets as opposed to Stocks. If you were going for stocks i would consider etfs like the GDX or even the GDXJ for better bang for your buck.[/font]

Surely the previous 5 year performance of your recommended ETF would be sufficient reason for OP to steer clear of that. This isn't just some spare change, it appears to be his entire savings/assets, and shouldn't be traded, regardless of how safe the option is perceived to be IMO.0 -

It is a trade, albeit a long term one. Of course the OP can place his cash in the bank.0 -
Stocks are real assets though.

I should say Commodities.

What exactly is your point? Where are the investors who have tripled their money on silver? Or did you just decide to put the a few high and low points on the S&P 500 to prove a weak point than highly volatile silver which was performed horrifically is a good investment?
Yes it is about knowing when to buy or sell. But it is seriously naive to think you can do well on silver as you read a few websites on it.When you invest in the S&P you dont need to be worrying about buying and selling it to beat a market that you cant beat.
Are you seriously calling metals with little industrial use a real asset? The return on that the GDX ETF is horrific for the last 10 years.0 -

Of course Silver is a real Asset. It s a physical Commodity which doubles as an industrial metal and a physical one. I haven t just read a website about it, I ve been investing in it since 2008 (caught the bottom at $9). I m sure I ve posted about Silver a number of years ago on here.newacc2015 wrote: »You have made my point for me newacc2015. S&P was at 1500 in 2000 and 666 in 2009, hows that for a 9 year return.

My point is simple, if you think buying the S&P now and just siting for 5 years is a guaranteed return, you are mistaken. The S&P is currently expensive relative to earnings. We haven t had an economic slowdown for almost 8 years, there are no guarantees.
But as anybody with investing experience will tell you, humility in markets is essential as nobody can exactly predict the future, not even you.
That said - I have a huge number of reason as to why I think Silver and Gold have a good future.
EDIT - Full Disclosure - I am currently long Gold, Silver and Short Nasdaq.0 -
