UK, European and US markets all up today. FTSE has been hitting all time highs all week. Looks like the UK shares have finally gained momentum.

Haven't read the thread so probably miles away from where it's at right now but I noted that 1) The Wife was always conservative (property and low risk pension scheme) 2) I started off medium to high risk (I suppose knowing that the wife was low risk allowed that), mainly bullion and shares. 3) As ...

Time to go conservative in the US and invest in safer lower yield funds, while we weather an upcoming storm? Or is the current panic movement going to be short lived? And there are the elections. What are you talking about? Bonds? I think the current volatility will be short lived. Once inflation c...

You’ve got it completely confused. The UK is now taking nearly a million “legal” immigrants a year. Steadily increasing hundreds of thousands, every year for over 20 years. The boat people number in the tens of thousands and are a drop in the ocean, hyped up by the TPTB as a distraction, along with...

Was a joke Bimbo. Thought it was obvious.
What was the reason for rejecting his fund? Because it was listed in the top 50 funds of a few platforms. He was well respected in the industry at the time.

Mate anyone involved in asset management is a professional but that doesn't mean their returns are as good as they can be. I'd be comparing your returns against a benchmark like FTSE all world index to see how they have performed. Thanks, I didn’t start my working life nearly 40 years ago with a de...

Still seems easier en masse to end migration rights for reasons of asylum, or there needs to be a scheme to share the numbers around, it not being fair to leave so much on Turkey, Greece and Italy, and so little on the likes of the UK and Ireland Bumbling along not accepting there's a problem but h...

Just because they have 30 bil AUM doesn't mean they are getting good returns. Wealth managers with bigger AUM have performed poorly. But you leave it all up to them Bimbo

No where near, less than 1% all in , all funds / etf’s not single stocks. Wealth management firm. Canadian for clues.

Yeah, they’re slightly better than St James place. Not in your league though. Happy to manage your ISA account for a small fee Bimbo. I promise you it'll be smaller than what your professional charges and the returns will be similar if not better. Edit - Just out of curiosity how much does your pro...

There’s no CGT allowance now. Anyone able to (not schemes from work obviously ) should use spread betting for short term trading. Wrong. It's 3K for this financial year.

I'd be holding on to those shares mate if it's one of the financial companies. Even if you don't make much in gains (I reckon they still have a way to go) the juicy dividends are a reason enough to hold them. :thumbup: We're holding some and will probably increase that when the next one matures. Do...

The UsD is the only rate that matters. US inflation will be back next year big time.

Do you get 20% off the market price? I used to work for a company called Old Mutual (used to be in FTSE 100 before they had a demerger) and bought about 15K worth of shares over the years through the share save scheme but they are only worth about 7K now. :x Should have sold them before the demerge...

Picking individual stocks is obviously riskier but can still be rewarding if you buy shares of quality companies and hold them for long. I tend to buy blue chip stocks when they are down and have done really well with most of them. Probably 30% of my portfolio consists of UK stocks and apart from V...

I think Skelton was a poor choice given that he wasn't even a regular starter but that decision was fairly dry bittorm of all the shit decisions Eddie Moans made.

Thing is unless you buy individual. US shares, you are almost always buying FANGS or whatever you want to call them when you buy US ETFs or mutual funds.

It seems that many of those travelling through NI to claim International Protection in Ireland have already claimed such status in the UK.
