d) less risky might include fixed interest  which of course carries the risk of inflation (or guaranteed rates such as NSi which track inflation plus 0.5%)but that is only one unknown element you must factor in unlike others e.g. where you would have to factor in many more such as a) b) and c). I was careful to say less risky not risk free.

By the time you factor in ancilliary charges and income tax (it is unearned income) you will have lost money over a given period.  Gerry will be able to explain more. (Overcikpeedoff)
