okay but what about people who listen to all sorts of genres?
I listen to Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rock, "IDM", 80's, pretty much anything as long as I like it! Does that mean I come from every class?

OK, a poll then. What does your parents do? What level of education do you have? Do you consider yourself to be 1. working class 2. middle class 3. upper class?

ISA, but frankly the returns take the piss. Tax free my arse.
Someone I know put their full student loan into an ISA and the returns from the ISA (supposedly tax free) are less than the interest on their student loan charges (which are meant to be as close to interest free as you can get)...
Takes the piss really, if you can make more money as a supposed "non profit company" than an account made by the govt. to encourage saving.
They wonder why there is overspend and the economy is up the creek :(

doesn't that hinge to much on FDA approval or the equivolent in Sweden?
I mean, they can spend all this money on R & D, and then, without approval, that's it........
I obviously don't know what you know, but I stay away from pharmecuticals for that reason.
at least you are investing and putting your money where your mouth is, I hope that stock does well.

Even if you would poll everyone here as to what their background is, you wouldn't get an accurate result because this board is on the internet. That by itself would bias the results quite a lot, and the results would be of people who listen to idm AND visit the xltronic message board regularly.
Oh, and to answer this threads original question: I invest in computer security stocks.

I've often thought it strange that people invest in the company they work in. Fair enough if it is small, your productivity may result in good returns, but in most middle to large companies you'd make a negligible difference. Also, if your company goes belly up, you not only lose your job, but your investment is worthless :/

like I said then, the drug in development will be subject to FDA approval.
it is kind of the end all. If it gets approval, hooray, if not, then they are saddled with a huge R&D bill and no product.
I don't like my money riding on such a whim, but again, I don't know anything about the company noted.

at the UW i get pretty good benifits in their UW retirement program. i can pay in 15 percent then they match my contribution 100%. this is then invested in a few 401k style investments that i can customize. so far, even with the shit econmy i have been making money.
before that the best investing i did was in pokemon cards. invested about $1500 in 1st ed. cards when they first came out. sold them within a year to more than double my initial investment.

i think it's smart to have your $$ work for you, and if you're savvy you can make a lil bit and get out before the bottom drops out.
that said i invest in mostly equity bonds.....they are riskier than normal investiments, but when you're young you can usually afford to be more risky with investiments than when you're older.
i also invest in the company i work for, which is going strong and is considered one of the best buys in the industry.....i think money voted it one of the TOP 30 stocks ever!
for example.....had i invested 10 grand in 1972.......i'd have 10 million or more RIGHT now.....ehehhe.....NOT a bad return eh.....
nice to see others are thinking of their future!

I just invested a couple hundred shares into your Low Cost Competition, AirTran.

Well I changed my mind from my earlier post.
I'm investing in a larger penis. I feel that 13" is far too small to pleasure a woman.
I'm going for 18" length and 8" girth. I feel that should be enough.

ok, well I really tried to support individual private investment in a market I think is poised to grow.
I backed it up today with another large (for me) investment into a growing company.
I hope you guys put your money to work for you, my portfolio is up 110% or so over a year, and that is the money I worked hard to earn, now working hard for me.

this mornings investment in AirTran, is a regional airline out of Atlanta here in the states.
It's a LCC (low cost carrier) much like Ryanair, or easyJet is around your parts.
Good growth, professional but fun culture, and profits. Much like Southwest pioneered decades ago.
I'm also invested, as I mentioned earlier, in future fuels, which has netted me a 100 odd % growth in price.
I don't like risk, but sometimes I get a gut feeling, follow it up, and do it. I think the time is right for getting back into more risky stocks as the market trends upward.

I have been told to not worry about the future sooo many times recently, you are starting to reverse my mental conditioning with all this talk of investment in the future............
I am tempted though. I do a bit of trading on e-bay etc which I enjoy & have made a nice profit by selling the bargains I have found for sale in the local paper, other trading sites etc........ After all, e-bay is a stock market & I understand enough to make it work in my favour. I'm thinking maybe I'll move up to the dizzy hights of the stock market but I'm gonna have a go at cracking e-bay first..........Well, You gotta start somewhere...... right!
