1 x £25 1 x £50 2 x £100!

Whoo hoo £100,I'll put that toward the road tax for my SV650

Vast majority of my stuff is in ETFs or Mutual places, most of it run by the most evil organisations in the world - Vangaurd and Blackrock Overall they do pretty well and i leave em to it. They're pretty tech heavy at the moment, buts that not my doing.

I just keep a bit of my monthly SIPP contribution back and every so often buy shares "directly", just for interests sake. I'm betting on real long term trends though, so basically AI and anything to do with Energy. I bought First Solar a while ago too, an American manufacturer of er...Solar Panels. At one point they were down 80% but now they're up 190% from where I started. It's a mad old world.

The investment company's call them portfolios. AFAIK, it's just having your dosh in different places. 'Diversified' is another of their favourite words.

I did speak to an FA when I first started thinking about this stuff, but it very rapidly became apparent all they would do is tell me to maximise my ISA, pay loads into a pension and then stick money is various funds. I can do that myself for free.

Reality is, I'm simply not wealthy enough to really need their services. I'm a salaryman with a pension, I don't have loads of assets and companies and tax wheezes to think about I've used em a couple of times on a one off basis for a fixed fee and I expect I might do that again at various life junctures.

Only £25 for me this month, £150 for the other half

Zilch again. Going to withdraw it and drop in to my ISA.

Another ton
