With inflation still too high? - and the economy in free fall, Unemployment rising fast - the Bank of ENgland would be mad to cut interest rates - our £ will tank and at best we will get to parity with the $ then inflation will run away - higher interest rates will protect the £ to an extent but not forever as investors here see a booming US stock market and pile in buying $ selling £ adding to a foreign exchange crisis that makes Callaghan calling the IMF look like a picnic - crisis what crisis??

Lying on your CV - red flag - dishonesty working in finance red flag - lets go with Rachel Wrecking ball

Inflation is much higher than official figures pretend - just look at your supermarket shop - interest rates are unlikely to fall any time soon - despite the pleadings from Rachel from accounts - the US is going to boom - smart money will invest in the US to make real money and the UK will remain a provincial backwater as the wealth creators and their capital vote with their feet. Investing in the S&P now or JGGI seems a no brainer - I have 25k shares here while I have made good dividends compared to my International index EFT's or S&P EFT's making 50% or more my shares with L&G are at best breakeven capital wise and 17.5% return on capital invested - I would be a year closer to retirement had I not invested here...

With 25k shares spread amongst ISA and SIPP - I love the dividend but ever wonder if it will be back nearer £3 any time soon.

Down 3.5% why? Topped up with 350 which I was due to do on Friday but glad I got distracted and tied up all afternoon....

For once it looks like I bought the dip well.... at 1070

Signed

Wish the SP would make its mind up

So I sold and bought back and now have 13% more shares than I did before

Clearly they are going to target the unemployed for extra taxes and benefit cut -because by their logic - they don't work so they aren't workers.

Thieving Reeves and Free Gear Kier are going to trash the financial sector and i wonder if it is time to liquidate my UK bank shares and insurance companies in mu SIPP and ISA and wait to buy back so much cheaper in November, or leave the UK market in totality and buy something like JGGI to wait out the storm. when the £ tanks any holding in the US is going to add to the gains just by exchange rate gains - and as it seems likely Trump will win - Oil & Gas will motor on, and the FANGS might have their teeth pulled a bit by Trumps agenda. Its all looking a bit grim really

Did I miss something?

Not appeared yet on HL ....

Performance figures from HL website

City Wire suggest that 5 year NAV return its more like JJGi 99.3% and IGET 75.6%

at 5 years British & American is at 102.1%

still happy with my choices - and see Murray upthere too

The issue with IGET is the ongoing charge at 1.16% v JGGi at 0.51%, Brunner is 0.64%.

5year performance of IGET 42% BUT 61%, JGGI at 54% but

JGGI yield is much better, JGGI 3.43% BUT 1.66% IGET 2.48%

- so happier with JGGI where I get yield and growth as part of my long term plan for my pension and ISA amongst other IT trust I hold

I am enjoying this rise, got in at 3806p - nice quarterly dividend payments and one more on Friday - wish I'd bought more than the several 100 .... trying to decide if I should bail at some price over £51.....

Dilemma - should have been brave and bought at the lows yesterday -

What an opportunity to pick some more up
