DGR, have you hit your number of shares target yet? Or still buying?........If you don't mind me asking.
Similar average/strategy to me.
Done so - good call.
Could this be the week we begin to get back on track sp-wise?! SXX back on the agenda for many and things look nicely poised for confirmation on the bonds being taken up coming sooner rather than later and new (but previous) sp levels being achieved.
I hope, I think, I know. Cannot wait.
All possible DGR, I agree, but pretty extreme reversals of there actual purpose. Not something I'm too worried about.
DGR, the whole point of an ISA is that it's money sheltered from further tax up to a given annual allowance. They wouldn't decide to start taxing them, they'd just bin them off all together.
If a future government does anything it'd be a gradual reduction in the annual allowance.
It's definitely a better idea to follow the project rather than the share price. Both mind blowing though.
That last line really made me laugh, Slurm. Cheers.
I know you can request the option to take up more, but at 1 per 22 (roughly 4.55%) it's not a decision that needs too much thought. Imo, obviously.
I agree with DGR, it definitely helped me focus on my investment goals even more. Stick to your plan JimboD and congrats.
Sounds like we read the same article.
And they also announced they will continue to be significant investors in the UK regardless of any Brexit outcome.
Jonesrichard, liking and agreeing with your comments on "only invest what you can afford to lose". I have only been in for 18 months, but I have increased my holding significantly in the last couple of weeks and whilst I wouldn't be screwed if I were to lose it, it would still hurt. I've backed myself on this one. Eggs firmly in the Sirius basket! Good luck to all.
LTV, I appreciate I have paid tax on the money I put in an ISA, but the flexibility once it's in and going forward is where it still outweighs the tax allowance available to me in a SIPP. Admittedly I don't know anything about how it might be possible to take out money in a SIPP, but I shall investigate.
Staat, ISA's are as simple as it gets. Once the money's in you can do whatever you like. Hold cash, trade like crazy or just hold long-term. All gains are tax free. Withdraw whenever you like. All my investments are held in an ISA wrapper. I'm technically self employed and the benefits of an ISA outweigh that of a SIPP. I very much value being able to get my hands on my money when I choose. Not on option with a SIPP.
Jimmy Jimmy - ohhh Pops into my head everytime I see you post. Relax. This is a great investment and a great opportunity to be topping up.
I'm in my mid 30's and I'm backing Sirius to be the success story I look back on in a decade - the real life changer. I've been buying all I can lately and will continue to whilst (in my mind) the stock is cheap. The risk of not acting now is too high for my ambitions. If I get it wrong, I get it wrong.
Jimmy, you need to look at and understand shares in issue. As others have said below. Greggs at £11+ a share doesn't make it worth more than double BP at £5ish a share.
Jimmy, at 20p a share you'd need 60k shares. At 10p you'd need 120k shares.
