I have (what is for me) a large holding in BEN split between my SIPP and an ISA. It is the largest share in my modest PF and I have been riding the wave of excitement with everyone else since I invested. When PATT (on the other platform) posted some misgivings I innocently asked posters on this site what they thought of his post, and I was slated and rubbished for even daring to ask such a question. This board appears to have become a platform where as long as you shout BEN from the rooftops you’re OK guvnor, and if not, then do one… I for one will certainly hear out those with a contrarian view if what they say makes sense. I have been involved in quarrying and associated works for 40+ years; - works involving heavy plant and equipment, and I’ll tell you all what… The stockpiles are nowhere near as large as I thought they would be, and the heavy plant and equipment is not as plentiful as I expected either. There is more plant on your average landfill site than what was shown on the videos. I hope this share comes good… I really do, because I can have a very nice retirement but I’ll definitely be keeping a closer eye on things, and not through rose tinted glasses!
