Yup, 5% a year on average in a good one. A standard ISA will give you up to 1% a year with the bank. Its cumulative, but that 5% takes a damn while from 2k. Year one you have 2.100. Yeah 2 you have 2205. Meh. Id rather go slightly more risky. Casino investment true you need a bit more cash. But if you get it people on average spend 30k on a site, have wages covered from 6 months on an affiliate manager and CRM person, and in month 2 they break even, month 3 on average its 10-15k profit. Got one site in month 3 clearing 60k. Madness. And yes they pay their players haha.
For me, id go down plus500 and invest in stock directly with leverage on something i was confident in. Canadian cannabis is due a jump.
