iShares have an ETF called Global Clean Energy [LON:INRG] which is aimed at the 'expected' elimination of fossil fuels. Given the threats of cutbacks on the Russian gas and oil pipelines then it might be worth keeping an eye on this one.

Most private individuals who dabble, end up losing money because they don’t have the real time information available to them that the main traders have that can manipulate share prices. You can have all the knowledge in the World but nobody can predict future uncertainties There is no trading manuals and beware of websites. If the so called experts were that good they would be sunning themselves on some beach. My advice would be don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose and treat it as a bit of fun rather than a means of making your millions. Usually the more risk you are prepared to take the more chance you have of making money or, of losing it.

unless you have the time to really commit to this, suggest you invest via someone like Hargreaves, Fidelity or other reputable investment service. Buying into their funds provides you with instant diversity and a manager who undoubtedly knows better than you. Could still all go to ratshit though

Investing in Shares for Dummies, despite its title would be a good start. By the time you are through this very readable book [available from Amazon] your ability to make a success of the world of investment will be as high as all but those who are employed in the sector.
 
Recovered to the same as a month ago month after the last week, which helps those who put into S&S ISAs just before year end.
 
Strangely enough my BP, Shell and BAE Systems are doing pretty well at the moment . Pacific and Emerging Markets funds doing shit. US a bit volatile. Bit of a mixed bag overall.
 
Mike Ashley's future Son in Law gets a £100m bonus as new CE of Fraser Group/Sports Direct if he can get the share price to £15.00 within 3 years. Currently at £6.61.

He looks to be trying to take it up market slightly, not sure it will work.
