We have launched a new website which replaces this blog - www.shininglights.co.uk
The sole purpose of “Shining Lights” is to provide varied sources of
quality information and analysis on the subjects of managing finances
and investing money.
It is inspired by a simple idea but an idea which can create profound change.
“Being the difference you wish to see.”

<!--[if gte mso 9]>
<![endif]-->
According to most financial papers, the answer is
