Investment Bond ? VCT ? If only three was a IFA you could speak to 😂😂😂Rob7Lee said:
And a certain Rob7Lee!golfaddick said:Tories to scrap Stamp Duty if they get into power next time.
And they talk about the other parties & the money tree. I'll have to ask my son to see if they sell them at his Garden Centre. (Dobbies in Keston......as frequented by Fred Sirieix, Rio Ferdinand & Peter Varney !)
He does, but I'm ahead of him, a little over 2/3rds of SIPP now in cash (probably 70% of that was in US S&P500 or NASDAQ ETF's), never a bad time to bank profit in my book. S&S ISA also has very little now in the US.bobmunro said:Words of warning? I get the impression he knows what he's talking about!
Gold is still going crazy, starting to get very tempted to cash some in, but then what........ ISA's are full, Premium bonds are full, Pensions maxed out (I could maybe get another £2k into my wife's).2 -
I'll message you at some point, work are wanting to change my contract from early in the new year which will mean I may need to find a home for some more. Not keen on VCT's though at my age.golfaddick said:

Have you ever listened to "word on the street" podcast? If not, maybe worth a try.PragueAddick said:All, I just have to recommend this podcast I have raced through: Coining It, presented (brilliantly IMO) by Lewis Goodall. It involves Bitcoin and Blackpool, more than that re the content I won’t divulge, just to say that a lot of it was simply jaw-dropping, and throughout, exactly as the presenter intends, the listener faces the constant challenge “What would YOU do?” . One other subsidiary question it left me with was how the **** the town of Fleetwood sustains an EFL level footie club.
Enjoy!1 -
Maybe happening sooner than even he thought.bobmunro said:Words of warning? I get the impression he knows what he's talking about!
Since 4pm markets have dropped sharply. FTSE100 down almost 1% after fairly benign trading all day. Dow Jones down 0.85%, S&P down 1.35% and the tech stock heavy Nasdaq down 1.9%. Not massive falls but anyone looking at graphs will see its heavy selling off.0 -
Isn’t that mostly down to trump posting about China tariffs? Trump led dips are a gift.golfaddick said:

Probably. Before posting I had been looking to see what news might have sparked it off. Couldn't see anything major on BBC or the Financial pages though.Diebythesword said:

Remove the f out of the last word. He's only helping his friends who knew the drop was coming. I lost 1.6% yesterday. 🥲Diebythesword said:

Great opportunity to buy equities at a discount before he inevitably backs down or gets what he wants.

Exactly what I said earlier. Great time to buy dips.Huskaris said:Great opportunity to buy equities at a discount before he inevitably backs down or gets what he wants.Re ai, I’m not convinced it’s the same as the dot com bubble. Yes there are some similarities, but the majority of companies involved in the bubble are either private companies (so bubble bursting would only affect how much money they can raise) and businesses like nvidia, who already have a very profitable non ai related business anyway. It’s not like there’s companies that are being listed and bought up that essentially just have an idea, which is what happened during the dot com bubble.Crypto market also had the biggest liquidation event in its history yesterday, if you’re looking to get exposed to it now might be a good time. Especially altcoins.1 -
