I’m hoping that LTH is still with us.

Are5nal was one of those LTH from 2020. Regardless of recent agro, I hope he’s still here in some capacity?

Are5nal and I argued the point of RR being cheap at £1 back in 2020.

I do hope he’s still around.

“ So yes, didn’t get to £7 on my 50th”

As someone rightly suggested on here recently, a £6 from 34p RI and an average of 93p, the vast majority of LTH back in 2020 should be over the moon right now. I know I am. 👍👍👍

“ Book of Mormon is a fantastic musical.. industrial language and very funny”

Went with my 13 year old daughter. She loves South Park.

When the “c” word was paramount, I turned to make sure she was ok. Literally on the floor laughing! 😂

Like father like daughter! 👍👍😂😂

Chateauneuf du pape is awesome at £22 a bottle online. Don’t order two bottles in London though.

Misses Nettles not talking to me at the moment! 😂😂👍👍

Just back from a rather wonderful weekend trip (highly recommend Book of Mormon but also the awesome food at Cora Pearl! - wow! Just wow!)

So yes, didn’t get to £7 on my 50th, but thank you so much the comments here but also the huge amount of emails I’ve had. Wow! Your kindness knows no bounds.

Onwards and upwards chaps. 👍

"Top level is £11+"

I agree.

Spot on Svend. That’s my thoughts - then a steady gain from FTSE

Top level Svend?

Once SMR, DIVS, buybacks and narrow body announcements?

All catered for in the CMD but not all priced in - yet.

What’s your top level after confirmation?

On a serious note, and apologies for mentioning this before, we’re all aware of Trumps/Musks desire to decrease value of worldwide stock so they can buy it cheap?

We all know that don’t we? That’s a given.

Musk’s desire to berate the UK hasn’t worked so well, (highest FTSE level ever) but rest assured we’re gonna see a huge amount of hostile takeovers from the US this year. And most retail share holders will agree, and bag the profits.

Thank goodness the UK hold that golden share in RR.

Good point Fordm. Shall we say 24 units? 😂

And yes Fitzy, those will add at the AGM.

CEV approved on Tuesday, UK give 100% SMR to RR on Wednesday, Trump orders 12 RR SMR units for his tanning energy consumption on Thursday, narrow body announcement Friday.

£7 close.

Done and dusted! 😂😂👍👍🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

*CEZ! I hate auto correct!

This is the Czech buy-in….. isn’t it?

*block (not black) 😂

"Sparky the cat or Nettles the cat, same person, recognise your wit"

I'm afraid your cat sense is a little off.

I'm the one and only Nettles. Good to see another cat on the black though 👍

Hey Phil,

Awesome to hear from you - I trust you are well?

As you correctly say, certainly not financial advice but as per the 2021 guidance, that hasn’t changed since, you and your wife have completely separate allowances for CTG (so essentially double your income own).

If all these shares are outside of an ISA, it will take some time to transfer them over (under the annual limit that is decreasing rapidly) but it’s best to start sooner than later.

A lot of talk on here about bedding but if you’re able to be on top of a simple transaction of selling any shares outside of your ISA, then repurchase within the ISA (up to annual allowable limits) the I would personally do that every financial year from here on out.

With 82,000 shares and the threshold for sales of non ISA/SIPP shares degrading every year, it will take a long time mate, but if you don’t need the money as draw down now, do as much as you can every year.

But yes, spouse/civil partnerships essentially double your allowance before any CTG.

An absolutely no advice given there 😂😂😂

Well said riskawar.

This comes down to individual expectations of markets you decide to put your pension/SIPP into.

When I first took my pension all those years ago (Henry VIII) was on the throne 😂, pension companies gave a small, medium, and most figure that is I remember rightly was 7.5%, 10% or 12.5%.

The bonus now is that we have SIPPS to manage our own future expectations.

It’s all about research and your desire of risk.

Moreover, my share talk on here is additional to the SIPP. My shares on my blog are all now ISA protected - took a while to get them from basic share holding into the ISA but I’ve paid zero CTG by maximising the allowance of withdrawal from the basic share account into the ISA.

My investments are now essentially tax free.

All depends how much you have and how risk averse you are, but with Labours plans of reducing threshold of basic share hold accounts year on year, you maybe too late to do anything significant transition wise without paying any CGT.

If it’s just a pension move, then Barclays SIPP is highly recommend from me but this is on no way financial advice. It worked for me 👍👍

I recently took all my pension from SJP to put into a Barclays (AJ Bell run) SIPP.

I was getting 13% with SJP, and the equal fund at Barclays was a little over 20% in previous years.

My plan is to put 50% into that fund and have 50% free to invest in shares direct - over my 5 years of investing, I’m up around 200%.

I’m very risk aware but also very happy to play the markets within my own agenda.

If my agenda goes tits, I’ve still got 50% in a managed fund.

You pay extra for these managed funds, but certainly worth a look before you make your decision. 👍👍

Barclays Smart Investor SIPP. 👍👍

Do you mean the medal with the red badge? It means they have paid for premium membership (access to level 2 etc).
