I will still have to bed and isa my investment account over to my a new ISA account...
I can't find it now. It was on my Google news feed and it's refreshed. I think it was just saying about it.. Not that it's in.
Something like possibility of dropping thr 0.5pc tax or something?
Its just a puff piece on a couple of website because he mentioned it in public. Theres no real details, he just says wait for the spring budget. The article is badly written and confuses stamp duty with CGT, apparantly the 0.5% is a roadblock to uk investment.

Anyone noticed the last 3 month global rally? Seems like it isn't slowing.
I've just cashed out my smallish SIPP (most of my pension is tied into company schemes) from the S&P500 ETF and planning to rebalance into a more diverse group, but also more specific on the US side.
There's so much mixed messaging around the US market at the moment, but it seems that AI will keep going crazy. I think I want more of a global market tracker, along with some AI, biotech and clean energy.
I was also surprised to see that the 'strategy' plans that an older pension is in, lost less and made more in the 'adventurous' than the 'cautious' over the last few years. I expected the 'made more' but really didn't expect them to 'lose less' over the drop we saw a year or two back...
I know that no site wants to 'recommend' anything, as it's a legal nightmare and also they want to sell advisory services separately, but it's so frustrating that most sites make it almost impossible to compare in a straightforward way. Even on my account pages for various financial instruments, I struggle to see a simple 'how much up or down over the last 3,6,12,24 months for my portfolio. Maybe I need to move to a new provider again.

I've only been in SMCI and QBTS for a little while and both are up massively.
Basically any even half decent tech stock is memeing hard now.
I even threw a gamble at cloudflare as I saw it's earnings were coming.
Obviously it popped by 25pc and I sold out.
SMCI is up like 125 pc in a month!

The transferring between different ISA types isn’t allowed yet but has been something that has been identified as possibly changing in future.

My wife and I have been putting the child benefit away into a Junior ISA for our son, over the year it's return has been 10%. Hopefully he will use it sensibly when he gains access to it. Hopefully.
Now I just need Brewdog to actually come through with the IPO that has been rumoured for a while now and I can potentially get a return on the equity 'shares'.

Brewdog has been in private investment for a while, but it’s open to the public.
One of my colleagues have invested into them for a while and gets free beers on his birthday along with gift certs to use in their pubs.

Not sure what your aims are, the S&P500 is the most diverse US market unless your planning to invest in the Russell 2000 which is the US top 2000 companies rather than the top 500.
Clean energy is dead at the moment, I’m 30% down in 3 different companies. It’s pretty much considered as a start up and needs large investment from governments and angel investors. Could be a good time to buy but the horses that I’ve backed are limping.. Octopus, greencoat (wind) and foresight (solar).
Its really sad how clean energy has actually collapsed.
I was looking a few shares a while ago. UKW, FSFH (I think? It was a solar) watched them stagnate for a while then decline. I didn't go in but I thought it seemed like a no brainer long term hold.

My punt Of the month is doing very well. It resembles a pump and dump.
Up 45pc this week.
Feels like when covid hit and you could basically put money anywhere and make money.
Why did I ever bother investing in UK companies. For so long. The regret is high.

They will become very important in the future. We are set on that trajectory now but it’s a long play unless there’s huge investment.
I think I’m going to invest in national grid next time there’s a dip. Why try to back the train companies when you can back the train lines huh.. one of my friends has become a maintenance worker for them and they are having intakes of staff all the time.
The way I see clean energy is pretty much the way I see self driving cars. One of the smaller startups will get larger and larger then one of the old school fossil fuel companies with stacks of “old money” will just buy them out and become a green fuel provider by doing so. Just hope that it’s one of the companies that I’m investing in.
