stevieb Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Plus he has some form of AI thing that triggers his trading. The coinmarketcap removal of the Korean exchanges earlier in the week was a manipulation of the market that could fuck something like that over though so still risky. Quote

Whites man Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Miami's tip 10% down on the day following up yesterday's losses. Quote

Possibly, but he's £2.6m up : withdrawn and turned into sterling. He's not playing with his own money now. Quote
Smiley Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 $3.84 to $1.70 in 6 days. Hope you bought more at $1.70 this morning : now back at $2.10 Fuck all money left to buy with! On the site I'm on it dropped $3.50 - $1.59. That's a significant freefall. Rough with the smooth. Whilst it was rising up from $1 on Xmas day to $3.50, it was all smiles and laughter!! Quote

But surely the flaw here is that, unless you make a decision to cream off regular profits, it'll forever be a daily smile and a daily grimace for ever and a day and some fucker will still have your original £500 or whatever it was you originally "invested" Quote
miamiwhite Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Miami's tip 10% down on the day following up yesterday's losses. Was worse earlier, around 15% but the TSX has picked up nearly 12% in the last hour. FFWD fell victim to a shooting attack by that handsome lad Tom Winnifrith and his mates, but they won’t hang about when the Factom M3 launch is done, that’s what I’m waiting for here, a long term hold.

What is "long term" in crypto currency bubble world? Tea tomorrow? Or lunch? Quote

Crazy How can Ripple ever be a stable way for banks to transfer money to each other when it swings all over the place like that It might have a market cap of over £100bn but it’s all talk for me The parody dogcoin has a market cap of £2bn and it’s a piss take Quote
Whites man Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 If folk are looking for an investment then I would point them towards a Japanese focussed fund via someone like Hargreaves Lansdown or AJ Bell. Quote
birch-chorley Posted January 10, 2018 Author Posted January 10, 2018 Why Japan? Been struggling for a while hasn’t it? Quote
Biggish Dave Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Why Japan? Been struggling for a while hasn’t it? Been recovering steadily the last few years, most big hitters in the investments game have tipped it to do well in 2018 Quote
Whites man Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Why Japan? Been struggling for a while hasn’t it? This year's ISA allowance is split across 2 Jap funds and is 25%+ %+ up FYTD. Going to be selling some other other funds and buying more Japanese, will be putting my money where my mouth is. Quote
miamiwhite Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 What is "long term" in crypto currency bubble world? Tea tomorrow? Or lunch? I wouldn’t know re the crypto currency bubble mate, as I’m not in there.....the one I chose has a varied range of investments ranging from the cannabis one in Canada which is going well to the Factom Inc one. The Factom Inc has already signed up 25 Fortune 100 Companies, the US Govt and US Homeland Security....it’s a totally different concept from the crypto currency. Factom will be around a long time.

jayjayoghani Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) If folk are looking for an investment then I would point them towards a Japanese focussed fund via someone like Hargreaves Lansdown or AJ Bell. started taking more of an interest in my pension fund performance, as the original fund recommended by the default financial "adviser" being fucking shite - growth little better than a bank account anyway, the standout performer is Baillie Gifford Japan fund, cumulative growth of 278% over 5 years. I'm not in it...yet. Heard mixed stuff about Japanese prospects. funds are probably worth a thread of their own. Edited January 11, 2018 by jayjayoghani Quote

All this ‘if’ you bought low and sold st highest point and reinvested at lowest pint etc etc is bollocks. Just as many will be investing at high point and losing loads but that never gets mentioned.

birch-chorley Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 I’m in my early 30’s and have not even looked at my pension funds, think I only have about £50k in them but I should really make it work as hard as possible from now. 20 years of good growth and that would be worth a decent figure (on top of future pension contributions of course) On pensions, I’ve got one with my old company, what’s the general school of thought with these things, transfer it into my current one and have all the money with the same pension provider?

Pros and cons It might be cheaper to run where it is But, control and getting educated is important. Quote
birch-chorley Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 How do you get ‘educated’ Should really sort it all out now Quote
Ani Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 How do you get ‘educated’ Should really sort it all out now Once you look at this you will think why did I not do it sooner. Costs less than you think in terms of cash due to tax relief. Quote
Biggish Dave Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Birch, get yourself to an IFA and spend a few hundred quid getting a financial health check - it will be the best money you could invest Quote
Ani Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 If you put £400 a month into a pension and you have some salary in top bracket it actually costs you £240 in your wage. After 30 years with 5% growth will be worth over £330k. Your employer will also have a scheme worth checking if they will match any extra you stick in. As mentioned spending a bit on a good adviser is well worth it. I am hoping to retire at 55 if I had done any of the above I would be loaded by then as it will have enough to get by Quote
jayjayoghani Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Birch, the difference in say 3% pa growth over 20 years, and 6% growth is stark. Find out the performance of your fund over the last few years, chances are it's invested in something modest. Quote
