Recently started trading shares again and currently using an HSBC share trading account. I’ve been banking with HSBC bank since University, had my current account for over twenty years: yep I’m a loyal customer. Whilst at University I traded penny shares with my student loan (£850) so we could afford to rent a property off Uni, the first mining share I bought (at 4p a share: and can’t for the life of me remember the name of the stock) over doubled in price within a week, so everything worked out great.

Updated the Britain Attracts Foreign Investors and Entrepreneurs in April 2014 with up to date infographic like images. Read a very interesting news article today on Reuters news about Britain lures talent: sci-tech entrepreneurs move in. In the UK we’ve had years of very negative attitudes regarding immigration, with a lot of the working class believing inward immigration is damaging the British economy.

Lots of Brits believe “immigrants are taking their jobs” for example! There’s a LOT of negativity towards foreigners in the UK and I’m sure it will have an […]
