I'd buy a few shares in Apple and Netflix. When investing you have to know the company, and to make a profit, you have to see future potential in the company. Apple is gaining lots, and always releases new ideas, Netflx doesn't release much, but they are becoming the next big thing. Their stock price doubled to $200 per share recently. I currently have 2 shares of AMZN (Amazon) which I put in 3 months ago, and the stock price already went up by $50. Amazon is another good company to invest in, nobody is buying in-stores anymore, and nearly everyone you ask from either the UK, US, AUS, NZ, or Canada has at least bought something from Amazon because it's just so convenient and easy.
