Be wary of high risk private investment
Article Abstract:
It is vital to seek professional advice before making any investment, as this will allow you to establish your attitude towards risk. It is worth reading personal finance information in newspapers, especially if you are considering investing in a scheme which would bring high risks. It is important to be aware that unconventional schemes can suffer many more problems than ordinary stock market investment. Investments such as unit or investment trusts investing in developed markets do not bring large returns in the short term, but are generally very reliable.

Days to go, and the taxman rubs his hands
Article Abstract:
There are 3 million Britons who still have not sent their tax return for 1996 to 1997 back to the Inland Revenue, even though the deadline for doing so, Jan 31, 1998, has almost arrived. The Inland Revenue warns that it will levy fines on those who fail to meet the deadline, so it is vital to give this matter urgent attention. It is important to check the form carefully, as any mistakes may lead to a delay in processing it and therefore a fine. It is worth making use of the Inland Revenue's assessment help line.

Avoid being mauled by the tiger economies
Article Abstract:
There will clearly be risk associated with investing in Asian markets in 1998. Economic uncertainty in the region will also have repercussions for other parts of the world. There are likely to be advantages associated with investing in Europe, especially as companies are increasingly run for the benefit of shareholders. The US may not seem as attractive as Europe, but still offers opportunities. Investing in the US spreads risk, and it may be less vulnerable to developments in Asia than Europe.
