It is if you know how conspiracy theories work.

Nope nothing to do with conspiracy theories at all I’m afraid, more to do with the individual I replied to and past debates . Anyway I’ll leave you to your Trump thing.

Its now come out of the black .....and gone into the red . What was 22K and change last week is now 19K and a bit . Ho hum .

When I read about your investment loss I was going to suggest that wouldn't it be worth moving the 20k into something else but then I realised I have no clue on how these things work, so it was probably best to keep quiet. Then, when I saw the stock markets started going back up yesterday I thought your loss would turn back into profit!

Anyway, back to Trump "No other president would have done what I've done!" 

Ya think! Raise tariffs and the stock market dives, lower them and it rallies. Twitchy bums all round I think. 

Hmm yeah, the below is more likely than the "I'm raising tariffs to bring back manufacturing to the US"  blag, imo.

Oh yes I am going to leave it . It is what it is  and will very likely go up again given time and time is what it is all about . It was just a shock as it was doing so well in such a short time .

ISAs are a 5 year + investment, they aren't a get rich quick commodity but a very decent foundation to any investment strategy.

Normal shares will incur capital gains tax on sale but apart from the tax you have paid on earning the money in the first place, the ISA gains are tax free on sale or crystallisation as the FAs like to call it.

You just picked a bit of a volatile time to acquaint yourself with personal investment.😱

You'd had thought a bit of sympathy would be in order wouldn't you.

 

One day here whinging that you are being taxed a bit more from government policies. A bit more tax eating into your £120k salary for the vanity van the company provides for mostly your personal use (300 days out of 360 personal use) and it is the worst thing every.

 

And yet when another, respected, member suffers financially the advice is "MTFU"...

 

 

Kind of sums you up.

For the ISA, sounds like the fund managers were asleep this last week, should have sold when the market was high and bought again today. I reckon the market will bounce back, slowl or quickly. If the shares are activly managed - buying and selling - you should come out with more (more shares, more dividends), fud manager needs to be awake though.

 

But... considering the reports I was reading today quoting a couple of US politicians musing whether Trump has lost his marbles - or how many he's lost -  and the tariffs are paused for 90 days - world share prices are likely to be in a bumpy ride for the next 3 1/2 years. Could be a lot of money to be made... certainly from The Rapists twatterings yesterday "Now is a good time to buy" looks to me he knew his tariffs would tank the share prices and some of his buddies have just made an aweful lot of money, off the back of ordinary peoples losses (for every headline billion made on the stock market someone, the little man generaly, has lost that amount).
