A question about : Looking for a good interest account for student

My son had Ј3900.00 in the Halifax on a 4% odd ISA which comes to an end beginning of March. He's a student. Not sure what the best thing to do with the money is. Nothing seems to have much interest being paid on it so I don't want to tie the money up at 2% for 4 years although I guess it might be a long while before interest rates and ISA rates improve. If I had to, I could pay in Ј25-40 a month into an account for him if that's the best way to get interest.

A question about : Stockmarket newbie

I have tried to research a lot on the stock market and the more I research the less I know!

So I figured the only way to get a good feel of the stockmarket and understand it better is to buy some shares. I understand the risks involved and ready to take the gamble with Ј500.

I'm in IT so was looking to buy some shares in the technology sector.

What's the best way to start this up?

A question about : Saving a small amount over a long period of time, need guidance please

Hi, I don't have much spare money but I am looking at saving around Ј5 a week + any spare over a long period of time (10 years+) I don't mind high risk but I am looking for a much better rate than what my bank is currently offering. Any suggestions what I can do with it, I was thinking a stocks and shares isa but with fees would it be worth it investing such a small amount.

Thanks in advance, I will consider all options

Does anybody know what has happened to Leeds BS Diamond Saver? Customer Service has unhelpfully said that I must talk to an adviser before they reveal the new name/interest rate of my existing account!
