You must be on the windup.

Genuine question .

 

All those that are worried about Trump

and take every opportunity to moan and bash the tango man…

 

What actually has he done that has affected you personally and your day to day lives?

You'll have to wait til they've written into the Guardian and asked how they should respond to such a question. Check back in a week or two to see what witless retort they're instructed to go with.

So with the markets rebounding you've actually made more than you've lost on your investments?

I remember talking with you on here about investments in March or April 2020 - just after oil had hit negative $40!

I had bought some Royal Dutch Shell for my ISA, but then bottled it and swapped it into BT - you said 'that kinda sucks' and were obviously much more of an optimist than me.

the two charts of RDSA and BT are below also, at the time RR was bombed out due to aviation stopped. You said about employer shares at the time - I remember you doing some tech job for an oil services firm, those pandemic shares must have gone up fourfold. Totally jealous

 

valuations seem stretched to me now, most of my ISA is in 30 year gilts yielding about 5.4%, never gonna get rich staying out of the market, but there hasn't been a crash since the pandemic. Would be good for me if there was a crash on Trump's watch, while I'm all bonds. (so they cut rates to the floor and bond prices go up) Here's hoping for the biggest crash of all time

I really need to learn more about investing. I have no clue. Funnily enough Ive just started a SIPP as Im not giving HMRC a damn penny of my income.  Anything that HMRC wants off of me at the end of the tax year will go into my SIPP and I'll owe HMRC zilch. But the best thing is I'll get the Government to pay me 20% of what I put in there. 

 

I was banging in 10% of my salary in 2019-2021 into my companies stock. I get it at the cheapest price point over the 6 month period meaning in 2020 I got 6 months of stock for under $5 a share. By May 2022 they had increased tenfold to $41.00.

 

The company stock scheme is not so good now. Its over 3 months now and not 6. I'm better off investing in my SIPP, getting my free government 20% then investing that way once Ive figured it out. 

 

The greed of the Labour and SNP has gone from me "contributing" to HMRC as it was easy and laziness on my part to just pay when my self assessment was due to actively finding a legal way to contribute nothing and get a chunk of someone elses tax to boot. Ask @Johnsond and he'll tell you a similar story in his field. Many are dropping out of paying the high rate of tax one way or another. Another own goal from the Commie Pinko's.
