I'm now just invested in LLOY, AV. & WJG - all down but all with good divi's and profits. My largest investment trust holding is L&G Global 100 - largely US focused. It has recently given up all yearly gains but not down (yet). Depends on how much lower the US will go. Also, Investec are offering 3.9% 1 yr fixed rate - sensible place to hide..........

Neither brave nor stupid. I sold out last week at 80% loss after years of doubling down to lower my average. I should have learned my lesson after losing on Flybe a few year ago. Don't rely on the insurance side to save this, it's ridiculously competitive and margins are cruel. Another profit warning will half this share price again then the vultures will be swooping to pick off the carcus. From now on I'm sticking to funds (US). Good Luck

Deregulation of the banking sector both here and in US was the root cause of 2008 financial crisis, something Trus has started re-tinkering with (removal of Banker bonus cap). Then absolute greed on a truly epic scale (Subprime) again originating in the US and adopted by twits over here was the cause of crisis. Totally different to the current Tory mis-management of the economy. I find it strange that Trus et al blame the global situation for the £ decline but don't explain why the dollar has got stronger.

This board is usually chocabloc with Tory Ultras - I imagine they have gone into hiding. Just switched by UK 100 ISA fund to US centric Global 100 because my savings feel unsafe in Conservative hands. Still have my LLOY shares and will probably top up if it drops below 35P (49p a week ago............f***wits)

Looks good when directors buy at current price - back to 450 soon enough :)

Fund % Short Change Date Changed
ActusRayPartners Limited 0.57 -0.03% 21 Jul 2022
Marshall Wace LLP 0.69 -0.10% 20 Jul 2022
Total 1.26%

1.26% seems insignificant to me..........

The depressed SP reason is elsewhere

Got my fingers burned with Flybe and when I said a while back this company has similar scary signs of decline I was seriously heckled. I felt okay to be down when the SP was 400 thinking we are on our way up. This decline is incredibly worrying, fearing I'm going to get burned again.......

I did something similar a couple of years ago but back in soon after. I have topped up twice, today and last month and now hold more than I ever did. This investment should be as safe as houses (well flats :) )

Wow - how un-sympathetic. I assume that you've never received care from a doctor or any education from a state school.
Do you earn more than a nurse? and if so why do you deserve it? Have you ever done a job that benefits others? Or is you existence wholly selfish?

Take away the pension (paid for largely by the employee) and see how many highly qualified professional staff you can retain / attract on the miserly salaries offered. This govt has already eroded public sector pay by more than 30% since 2010.

Yes, a vile slide. Over 90% loss from launch. I'm sure someone on this board can find a bright side............

When have Blair / Bush deliberately targeted civilians?

If that post is wishful thinking for the global economy to recover and resume growth, think again. Russia have committed so many atrocities they will be convicted and punished for war crimes for years to come. There is going to a seismic change between East / West, Democracy / Autocracy with much less trade and a move to self-reliance. No one knows how it will pan out but one surety is the world is going to be a very different place to recent years.

One factor that has already been forgotten is the multi-billions a lot of better off households have stashed since Covid. They want to spend spend spend once they feel safe to get out there. That will support the economy despite a bit of inflation and £50 a month extra on fuel bills.

JEFFERIES CUTS WATKIN JONES PRICE TARGET TO 313 (315) PENCE - 'BUY'

Thanks for that link. Sounds really positive - especially the NAV at 48p. I invested another £1K. GLA

My only laggard - even LLOY has picked up 30% in the last month or so. Is it worth doubling down on this one or would my money be spent better elsewhere? Bit concerned re BH and his political ambitions. Massive Eurosceptic but business largely based in Poland. Also latter is in Covid hell at the mo - will that have a bad effect on income?

Yes this is a stonking rise. Could we get back up to 280 in the short term? GLA

I think the likely pushback to June/July before relaxing cruise / hols could knock the SP south of 200. That would be a good time to top up / average down. GLA

This is my 40th year working in NHS Pathology and concur that these lockdowns, and fear of Covid generally, will have a terrible effect on early cancer diagnosis. So we are saving some lives at the cost of other lives. My brother in law passed a few months ago from the dreaded prostate cancer at just 66, just 18 months from first diagnosis. It was hell for my sister (and of course the poor chap). Cancelled appointments, operations and treatments will have a very bad effect. I feel now that with most of the vulnerable population vaccinated it's time to 'take our chances', release the lockdown with caution but do it quickly. People can still socially distance, wear masks etc but life must return to normal. We're grown ups and have been given enough information to make choices. Enough said. Good will to all.
