Stock Market investment

*Serious Journal if u dont care dont read on*

I will obtain money from a relations will (not a close relation) sadly he passed away but we did not know him that well in recent years. I am not able to draw out this money until i am 25 however i can invest it. Being a Business Student it is interesting to be able to do this and potentially make alot from it. So i can occasionally buy the financial times and see my investment rise (hopefully).
So basicly want to see what people here would invest a reasonably large sum of money in. Not going to disclose the amount though. (its nothing like a life changing amount before u get ideas)

Companies from the FTSE 100 plz, as this money is an investment and i dont want it to be a gamble.

As Business people know , investing all ur money into one thing isnt usualy the most viable way of investing so i will probably invest in 3 companies. Most likely some in super multinatinal companies and im thinking as we are currently in a recession invest in a luxury product company while the share prices are lower?

What do u think? directed to people who know about the stock market. NOT KIDS, all stupid posts will be ignored. ty

ha nice. There are 14 million combinations to the national lottery, so thats a 1 in 14 million chance of winning. You have a 1 in 9 million chance of dying while u watch the national lottery at home.

We aren't in a recession anymore, I would invest in a gold company tbh, the price of gold has gone through the roof

Don't buy shares; it's a really bad time to buy shares. Spread trading is a better option. Both the UK and the US are pursuing expansionary monetary policies at the moment so commodities are a good bet (gold and especially silver), or if you insist on going with shares then maybe invest in some new mining companies in Western Australia or elsewhere.

i dont know if investing right now is such idea. because we are still in a bear market, the move from march to the highs in january was just a correction of the market.

i wouldnt invest in bank stocks as they are still very volatil, and i wouldnt invest over a long term view, just a couple of weeks, depends on the market moves

and whatever u do, use a stoploss of about 10-15%
