Bs? Ruddy hell i'm not Warren Buffet.

If you can't lose it it sholdn't be in anything with a risk profile above diversified AAA bonds and stable cash (good luck finding that too). Outside a select few there are very few people who don't work in finance that have any business at all buying shares directly full stop. Even after that 100k or so you can start looking at funds that invest in the more exotic end of equities (or funds that invest in funds that get into that end of things, from private equity to junk bonds) and good picking will still put you in a safer position that direct share ownership.
