New,
I hope you are right. I do take a look at these private equity companies if you can get into the list of companies they have invested in. Some you cannot unless you have shares in the group/fund.

Some are very interesting giving an insight to where the private equity are investing .
I feel that this year somebody will be making a bid. Darktrace has some of the best mathematicians in the uk working for them and with the doughnut using their product that alone tells me dark are no Micky mouse company. Regards Seaking1:-).

True, but I’m not talking of private equities etc I would not be surprised if a company like Palo Alto or Microsoft gobbled them up.

Yep, but I wouldn’t mind betting someone else will.

Great buying opp. Nothing has really changed. Just over expectations.

Chalk and cheese . You cannot compare . companies in different areas . :-)

You do mean 18 as you cannot have a hsbc premiere account until you are 18.:-).

Which is what I feel the BOD really want.

My thinking is the sharks are awaiting for the results then they will after due diligence which should not take more than six weeks will be throwing their hats in the ring. :-). The upcoming results will be critical.

Thanks for the info! :-).

I see that Chinese people have the option of taking a voluntary covid test or not on arrival but do not have to quarantine. Brainless gov.

And a happy new year to you too.

Paid up. Please put me down for 68 or the nearest number upwards. Regards the seaking 1 .
Calm seas ahead I hope

The reason for inflation was quantitative easing you print more money and the end result is inflation. :-).

Try base rate interest rate rise. Interest rates go up, shares go down. :-).

Now that the base rate is going up I suspect 5 years is about right.

True, couldn’t find their charges . Suspect they are reasonable though. The ft are talking about M&As dropping off but with the SP of many good companies down I think there may well be some raids happening in the first quarter of 2023. Just my thoughts.

Ive also decided not to invest overseas as I don’t want to take on the extra risk with foreign ex movements. :-).

Trading 212 us to be called Avus which was run by 2 Bulgarians. Who ceased directorships . Trading 212 operate out of Bulgaria and Cyprus. They are probably ok but the mention of Bulgaria and Cyprus put me right off. ;-).

AJ bell. I use to use Bestinvest but they are rubbish. Although they didn’t charge to switch funds. Finding AJ bell quite good so far. Also been leaning towards trackers but it’s all a it of a guessing game as fund managers seem to be in a lot of cases lucky than experts. :-)

Many thanks Denby.
I’ve been treading water for about 3 months now but paper loss not to bad . Just have to wait for individual stocks to rise at some point. Bought / sold/ bought LG mainly for the div. Also adding my gsk as I think they will prove good in Time! . Darktrace I’m hoping will give out good figures in Jan . :-).

Why can’t we hang on to good companies like Abcam and Arm. How will this effect tax as it’s listed in USA If I buy after 14 dec. :-(.
