The jr ISA -have you taken such an ISA at the Halifax this year?
I was recently told that if I have an ISA and also open a jr ISA for my child the jr ISA would attract a 6% interest. Is this correct? Would this be a good investment?
But the money would be locked for some years, until the child turns 18, isn't it?
I am not sure if they really give the said interest or is there any catch in this type of saving?
Have any of you done this recently? Interested what finance experts think of this offer from Halifax?
thanks

3 AnswersBooks & Authors10 years agoMonk fans, how do you feel about the series finale today?
Are they never going to make anymore? It is one of the few stories we watch at home and its finished! But thank God they did a nice, sweet ending. I can live with that.
Was going crazy fr weeks that they might do Mr Monk in, kill him off or something horrible and swore i would get up there and kill the makers myself if they dared to do that at all!
Natalie is so sweet, and so are the Captain, Randy seems to have become a Chief and all great. Long suffering Natalie is really my favourite, she is so caring and thoughtful even after all the fuss Monk makes.
Finally Mr Monk is happy! Can hardly believe my eyes!

1 AnswerCelebrities1 decade agoOil spill -- is it not possible to install a large enough pipeline over the mouth of the oil spill and siphon?
off the oil into tanker ships? Has anything like this been attempted so far?
Surely by now, after several disastrous oil spills round the world such a system would be kept on as a Plan B?
I really think it would be a better and easier job to siphon off the spill rather than try to stop it because stoppage could create a burst up elsewhere.
see the oil spill ticker here, its so alarming and almost 50 days gone by and threatening to get much worse!

3 AnswersFinancial Aid1 decade agoWhat would Ayn Rand have to say about the collapse of capitalism now if she were here?
Objectivism, free enterprise and capitalism was her bible, but we are witnessing a complete collapse of the system. The No:1 capitalist country is in a severe economic mess bringing several other countries down with it, so what would Ayn Rand or a Randian make of this or explain the failure of free enterprise?
Surely, free enterprise has led to excessive greed and brought everything down and the country itself to an economic collapse leading to a chain reaction pulling many other nations into recession?
What do you think?
