I'm sure most of you are aware of the economic downturn revolving around the stock market and our financial system.
All of our banks have crashed and need bailouts constantly, to the point where the UK have dropped the interest rate down to 2% i believe. Luckily im getting 3.10%.
Now onto my problem, Considering i was getting 5.50% before, i was building up my savings slowly since the end of last year and have £2,650 in there. Thats only going to get me £78 if i dont add anything else.
I'm actually deciding on withdrawing and either putting a certain amount into the stock market and learn how to long/short stocks, or put it into poker to cushion my BR and maybe move up in another month or so. As im back onto grinding 50nl and improving daily.
Any suggestions/opinions on what i should do?

that's a relatively small amount of money, you should probably keep it in the bank for special situations/emergencies |

How so? most of the stocks have flatlined at their lowest point, such as oil which is hovering around $35/$45, when it recovers it could go back upto $100. |
