Only if you cash out… just hold and keep buying till the rules change again…
Agreed but it comes to a point when you need to spend the money and not just keep on accumulating (especially when your towards your latter years)

Anyone holding Broadcom? I missed the Nvidia party but Broadcom has done well but may have a way to go still. Nancy Just bought in.
It all depends how you are investing it.. I have most of my shares in a stock and shares ISA now.
Before this year where you can only have one of each (Cash and S/S ISA), I had my trackers in an ISA and my individual companies shares in a normal trading account. But since we can have more than one SS ISA now, I've been selling off my individual company shares and re-buying them in a SS ISA (Bed and ISA).
Because my tax free broker account doesn’t allow purchases of individual companies shares.Im confused as to why you'd open a taxable account if you do not max out your ISA allowance.
Before this year you could have multiple ISA's, but you can only contribute to one of each type per year.
A taxable account used to have a decent capital gains tax personal allowance, so you could use it tax free for modest amounts, but the personal allowance is much lower now (12k down to 3k iirc).
If someone said they did that I missed it, and can't find it now.But why if you don't use your isa allowance?
I looked at broadcom back at 1300.After doing a bit of reading i bought in to Broadcom yesterday, lets see how it pans out aim a couple of percent up which has covered costs at least
I'm 70% in VUAG and have been for some time. It's been fantastic (25% + in a year) but I'm watching it like a hawk, because it could easily go either way.I looked at broadcom back at 1300.
Didnt buy though.
I'm still sticking to 60pc VUAG and 40pc individual shares. Which are often present in VUAG anyway.
Shopify has been OK,
Meta = good
Nvidia = great (nearly 100pc up)
ARM = great (3x long)
SMCI =great (100pc up)
Roku = small gain
Sound hound = moderate loss
Dwave = flat. Missed a selling point!
Cloudflare = good
Ionq =bad! 30pc down!
Coinbase = great 100pc
Uniti - bad 10pc down
Overall up since switching to USA shares. But I'm moving more to 70:30 etf:individual stocks next month I think as i don't think it's worth the time/effort for me when VUAG is so easy.
I have bought in a little UK security company that's doing well. But there's no specific news as to why. RNS recently have been great. But I'm up 40 percent on it. And it's quite small.
CNS.L if anyone wants to check it out.
anyone dipped into the Japanese market or tracking it? The Yen is weak at the moment so I'm thinking it maybe a good time to buy in.
But T212 doesn't have Japanese market stocks.
Everyone in the industry is concerned about equity market concentration given the crazy price appreciation of the tech mega caps (The Magnificent 7). If you're a fund manager and don't hold Nvidia, Meta etc you underperform the benchmark and have to explain to clients. The rise in passive investing exacerbates the issue as more capital is flowing in to market capitalisation based benchmarks which adds further upward pricing pressure. The crazy thing is from a valuations perspective, Nvidia isn't even that expensive as the earnings projections are constructive and most of the semiconductor companies like Micron are at full capacity and sold out for the next few years. You'd be nuts not to have A.I. exposure yet it still feels like the Nasdaq 100/S&P 500 are in line for a correction and we're still not really seeing a 'broadening out' of the market rally that has benefited the Mag7. If the Fed do finally cut rates I reckon we'll see that broadening out but it's just not happening in a meaningful way right now.
