Depends whether you call 20k a few k tax free. I'd rather not pay tax on those sorts of amounts, and of course build up a bigger fund and more potential for tax free gains.

Yes, I think the spreads are generally quite wide on mnay ETFs. I don't think I'd be in and out in days - weeks or months fine. But going long oil at 40 dollars and holding wasn't a difficult decision. If it'd gone down a bit, it is leveraged, but as long as it's not too much, it's still a long term hold. Same goes for gold. I have an ETF global nuclear fund in it too.

Article here about forex in ETF's which are presumably suitable for ISA investors.
Not sure if they are good for short term trades or only investable, if you get my meaning.
