Switching funds in Hargreaves Lansdowne is free for the majority of funds where buy and sell prices are the same.I've used them over 2 years and really recommend them,their service is knowledgeable ,professional and helpful.Im hoping to double fund values over 5 years and feel its realistic with past performance of them although any advisor will tell u it's not necessarily a guide to future performances.Anyway my wife's portfolio funds are shown below if it helps Stock name % Weight Sector 1 AXA Framlington Biotech Class R 24.9% Specialist 2 Cazenove UK Smaller Companies Class B 23.1% UK Smaller Companies 3 Marlborough Multi Cap Income Class A 15.4% UK Equity Income 4 Kames Capital Ethical Equity Class A 14.9% UK All Companies 5 Standard Life Investments UK Equity Unconstrained Class R 7.3% UK All Companies 6 Fidelity Special Situations Class A 7.2% UK All Companies 7 Standard Life Investments Global Smaller Companies Class R 7.2% Global None of the above is professional advice,I'm just an amateur investor/lift operator do your own research ,unicorn uk smaller companies looks good to me as well. Fund 2 is no longer taking new investments,fund 1 has a slight difference in buy/sell margins roughly 6%

Liberalman makes some good points I would take advise from someone independant like hargreaves lansdowne.

Apologies,just about sums up the morning lol.

Yes.

Can you put the whole of my link into blue otherwise it doesn't work.

If you think the woes will continue 10% in this might not be a bad thing http://www.hl.co.uk/funds/fund-discounts,-prices--and--factsheets/search-results/j/junior-gold-trust-accumulation Not in it yet just sitting on funds and a wad of cash

If you look at bnc chart on google finance it looks like to ff strikes over 5 days almost worth putting a limit sell to catch them lol http://www.google.co.uk/finance?cid=11544020

I've switched my isa into fidelity special values fsv.Its like a fund but you buy it in shares. http://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shares-search-results/f/fidelity-special-values-ordinary-25p

I only pick on it when under troll attack lol.

A while back it was discussed about share prices being markers for other shares ,standard chartered ' s almost exactly twice the price of hsbc.

Don't forget commission fees will eat away at your savings so you need to weigh up how many different shares you want to buy with the benefits of spreading the risk relative to your costs.If you have say an isa with Hargreaves Lansdowne you might want to want to consider Marlborough multi cap income fund pays about 4% dividend .All investments should be med to long term and can go down as well as up.Im a private investor not a professional advisor dyor etc.

HSBC Phnx bnc 5%,6.5%,7.3% rough figures

Added to bnc in Sipp 900 shares,switched from Bnc to Hsbc in isa.

Word from the lift is Rotork's looking good value it's what I class as a trading stock but it has solid future projections and fundementals http://www.digitallook.com/companyresearch/10287/Rotork/company_research.html Not in myself as with 80% in funds as a 12 month strategy somewhat limited in choice but I think it's a good tip imo. Better mention aviva lol good value to buy on the fallback,if the market picks up before final ex back to 480-490,520-540 around Christmas,should be a good year for the ftse 250 as well.

Guess we are all a Mata Utd lift operators!

I always cash in fast on sharp risers as you know ,it's a weakness a third of the time . As for the next bear market bring it on lol,I can profit from dead cat bounces,carlco the last one to profit from? Contemplated Mulberry even had cash ready but decided to leave.Besides with 25 years plus till retirement I can ride out bear markets.Kindly explain to our learned friend 56% in two years is no numpty actually don't bother I don't think he's worth the effort,but if he wants to stick around tell him to switch to the other board.Apologies to regulars for noise pollution Wednesday.I had picked up on the amateurish sp lol.

Not forgetting he spells tomorrow with 2 m's silly old codger.

The phonics system let you down son.

Tomorrow you might learn to spell correctly.
