Re: Outperform?

I wish I knew what my time frame was. I'm 76 and a half and have to do something with my money and I'm blowed if I'm putting it on deposit at the present rates. My husband's pension is all a fixed rate annuity so I am gradually transferring my [more]

I see 74 members here suggest VOD will outperform and the majority of the analysts on here say VOD is a buy.

Having recently given my certificated VOD shares, bought many years ago, to my grandchildren in order to claim the loss, I have been [more]

Re: Just Bought some

I was just teasing, Ian. However, I should be interested to know what you have learnt. That it's a mistake to top up if a share drops? Well, sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't and I find it hard to tell the difference in advance. I have done very [more]

Thanks, Terry. I wish I could produce statistics at a moment's notice, as you do. It's very comforting to know that even you have lost out from time to time. Perhaps I should stop beating myself up. Might as well toss a coin then. It [more]

But you never worry about the capital value, do you Ian? Going in the right direction today; let's hope it stays that way.

Re: What happens after the FTSE 100 reaches 7,00

Doesn't one's take on all this rather depend on one's age and when one had a lump sum to invest? If you retired in 1999 and put your pension fund, minus the lump sum, into drawdown and invested the lump sum in equities (probably not all into the FTSE [more]

I'm also losing quite a bit but decided to top up as well. I can't see why they should be this cheap (famous last words!)

Buying opportunity?

The sp has come down about 20% since the beginning of the year, removing most of my paper profit. I am wondering whether I should top up at this price. Any good reason why now?

That shouldn't make it continue to drop in a rising market.
