"Maybe it's a sign of a stagnant management run out of ideas. When there's not enough happening within a company you're sure to get some bright sparks coming forward with a raft of new concepts."

Reminiscent of SLA changing their name to abrdn in 2021! The SLA Chief Executive Stephen Bird said at the time.....

“Our new brand abrdn builds on our heritage and is modern, dynamic and, most importantly, engaging for all of our client and customer channels. It is a highly-differentiated brand that will create unity across the business, replacing five different brand names that have each been operating independently. Our new name reflects the clarity of focus that the leadership team are bringing to the business as we seek to deliver sustainable growth.”

Absolute balderdash!

"does that give Israel the right to kill and maim thousands of children in Gaza?"

No but it gives them the right to go after the perpetrators of 7th October. And Israel are not deliberately targeting children. Hamas are directly responsible for this, they are cowardly hiding amongst their own civilian population using them as human shields. They are throwing their own people under a bus by hiding amongst them knowing full well what the consequences would be. Hamas could stop all this by surrendering. I fully agree this can only be resolved by a two state solution, but Hamas will never accept a two state solution. Their only goal is to wipe out the state of Israel.

I'm sure that if they do limit the tax free cash from a pension to £100,000 they would have to allow those whose tax free cash entitlement at present exceeds the new amount to "ring fence" their existing entitlement so as not to lose out. It would be very unfair not to do so. When the LTA WAS first introduced in 2006 ring fencing was allowed then for all those whose fund would exceed the LTA.

No shares bought back today, same figures as for yesterday 25th September.

L&G looks to be struggling to maintain it's dividend? Dividend cover in 2022 was only 0.66 and dividend cover for 2023 is only 0.33. Dividend cut on the cards for L&G in the next year or two?

The only reason Iran doe's not get directly involved is it knows the US would then also get involved directly which would result in military defeat for Iran, which in turn would probably result in the current hard line Iranian regime being overthrown internally.

"Around 40,000 militia fighters and mercenaries from Iraq, Yemen, and Syria are awaiting Hezbollah's approval"

They are replacing the Hezbollah terrorists taken out Mossad with the exploding pagers and walky talkies.

Have you looked into it with DWP? I would have thought in your case you would still be able to claim but there would be a tapering of benefits you would be entitled to, getting less the more extra income you have over and above the state pension, until reaching a certain threshold where you would be entitled to nothing.

Withdraw your private pension as a lump sum and treat yourself to a holiday and other luxury items to spend it ASAP. Then claim the same as the other pensioner without the private pension.

Looks like an issue my end then. Thanks.

Is anyone experiencing problems logging on to their Hargreaves Lansdowne accounts today?

"Hardup is he right though, that the USA is a house of cards, that is going to come crumbling down? "

Absolute lies from you again, I never said or alluded anything like that. My post was merely questioning the credibility of your star "economics expert" who is forecasting the collapse of the US dollar.

Striking BOEING workers have rejected an increased final offer of a 30% pay rise deal! Starmer and Reeves caving in to the Junior Doctors demands has set a dangerous precedent here!

WTF does Robert Kiyosaki know about economics!

"Kiyosaki was sued in a class action suit filed by attendees of his seminars,[2][3] and is the subject of investigative documentaries by the CBC,[4] WTAE-TV[5] and CBS News.[6] In January 2024, Kiyosaki was more than $1 billion dollars in debt."
