Perfectly ok to have unquoted in the investment trust because this was stated at the outset and a very sophisticated investment for the unitiated. The Equity Income unit trust a very different kettle of fish. It might have been ok to have a few investments but these unquoted funds entirely unsuitable for a retail fund whatever the M and A said. Having said this there seem to be some tyros around here treading on unknown territory.

I assume you have not seen this sort of thing before. It is not as uncommon as all that. There were numerous property funds suspended at one time where the properties were unsaleable. There will not be a rush for the exit in due course because there will be severe restrictions of the amount that can be redeemed. These types of investment are never completely devoid of risk. I have been on the scene over 50 years so I have seen it all before!

thanks for your kind comments.Before she died Brenda told me to visit our old haunts and not to get upset!!

Did you see what I wrote. Same as you difficult to shift!

I am sure you will be surprised that the loonie was 1.75 against sterling 5 years ago and is only slightly different at 1.69 now

When we bought our town house the rate was an inflated 1.4 However, the current 1.1 is ok and still get more and better for less at the supermarket than UK:

As Lady Thatcher once said dont buck the market. Even the Chinese struggle to change the market. I think you will agree the pound is surprisingly strong against the Euro. Suits me well.

This appears to relate to an IT consultant claiming to be an original principal in Boohoo and claiming North of £100 million. Not much online. appears to be aimed at Mahmoud but obviously throws its shadow over Boohoo. My question is why has this claimant taken such a long time to make a claim. Holder since yesterday bot in the least concerned.

PS I have got a really nice Sardinian white wine for my lunch. Am I allowed to say this here? They are terrible strict now!

Who Jasmine Brown. The one celeb chain which is not too bad is Carluccio and strangely Pizza Express. I love the really thin ones they do here!

Numerous buys in 5 figures and sp steadied. M & G Recovery loves a stock like this. Is it bombed out? No idea. Am I worried? Not in the slightest.

What use are biotech companies to citizens. Answer cancer treatments

And precisely how are ALL the non quoted stocks to be sold. Never going to happen. Actually some have been realised at a profit recently. Dangerous to generalise about the NAV and valuation. I am a holder and hanging on.

Felt I gave some positive spins when I am negative

Not sure of your source. On the icon above the latest Barclays opinion is Overweight, but no price indicated on 8 April, its previous rating was overweight with a price of 90p 19 November. Bank of America latest is target 55p on 21 May.

Turning now to the Hargreaves Lansdowne opinions, is more cheerful, 1 sell, 1 neutral 1 buy and 6 strong buy as at today.

Is that the same St James's Place that made such an error of judgment losing millions with its mega bet on Neil Woodford. Discredited,, surely - for now. And of course charges way out of line with the market.

Are you allowed sports talk here?

There is a board Teca (a defunct company) where general comments are at the moment allowed. I have posted one!

I see Jeremy Hunt is putting himself forward as an entrepreneur. Is that the same Hunt who failed to consolidate procurement in the NHS?
