The UsD is the only rate that matters. US inflation will be back next year big time. That may or may not happen regardless I don't expect a big correction and I'm certainly not going to wait for one to happen. If A,Eric’s booms , then the inflation will be legendary. If it stalls then only staples ...

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 was just going to say John Eales and Martin Johnson but saw CIs post.

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.

I didn't mean to anger the Greens - Yousaf published at 13:54 13:54 Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf says ending the power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens was the right thing to do but he did not mean to upset or anger the party. He says he hopes to speak to Scottish Greens co-leaders P...

So now Scottish Labour are bringing in a vote no confidence in the whole SNP government. This is more serious than the no confidence vote against Humza as it's a binding vote. If they lose that, the Scottish parliament will be dissolved and new election will be held I think. Interesting, They must ...

Each to their own. I think there’s no harm in having a little bit to put into hunches like ‘lithium’ or that stock your wife’s friend talked about It’s not really investing, more punting.

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.

Without wanting to wade into the debate, my opinion is that equities are at (or near) the bottom. I specifically exclude FANGS from this sentiment, as they remain toppy. I’m referring to sensible growth stocks. Yeah I tend to agree about FANGS. I thought that acronym got replaced by the term The ma...

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

Agreed. No one in that pack be playing for Australia I think Tupou will probably make the squad due to his reputation. I expect LSL and maybe Leota to make the squad as well. Leota is a myth.

Besides if you keep waiting for a correction, thinking you'll wait until it gets cheaper, you'll always miss the boat.
