Put it in a money market fund in an ISA to cover the mortgage..then however much i've reduced the mortgage each year, take that out and hopefully invest in some other 10 baggers.

I'm loathed to pull that much out of the ISA.

but a bit ****

Same on the embargo....was about to buy a new iPhone.

Now I'm stuck as I don't want to use Android.

My take on all of this is that its just a massive grift.

Trump is going to enact whatever policy, say the unthinkable, such that he is in a position to be bribed / paid off.

Example NordStream2 looks like its going to be revived...american firm providing funding means Trump lining his pockets...doesn't happen without the Russians saying ok (let them have Ukraine) and the danish saying ok (hands off Greenland).

He's gutting any US institution that could investigate what he and his mates are up to...not that it probably matters as he'll hand over to JD before his term ends and get a pardon for all crimes.

BofA Global Research on Feb. 28 increased Rolls-Royce Holdings' (RR.L) price target, citing the British aerospace and defense company's updated mid-term outlook and the earlier-than-expected launch of a 1 billion-pound-sterling share buyback.

Keeping the stock's rating at buy, the analysts raised the price target to 11.5 pounds from 8.3 pounds, reflecting a 57.2% upside. BofA also increased its EPS estimates for 2025 and 2026 to 0.2574 pound and 0.3192 pound, respectively, from 0.2226 pound and 0.2934 pound.

The changes are supported by Rolls-Royce's guidance for 4.2 billion pounds to 4.5 billion pounds of free cash flow in 2028, driven by the persistent growth in long-term service agreements balance and a significant improvement in the "time on wing" performance. The repurchase program further highlights the group's confidence in its cash generation, BofA said.

"Rolls LTSA balance will grow at the upper end of the range in 2028 and given the Trent 700 LTSA balance is still growing, we think the overall balance grows through the end of the decade. Rolls is leveraging pricing strongly with customers, and they highlight they don't expect to benefit from 100% of this through the P&L/cash flow until 2035," analysts wrote.
