Yes that's my long term play with them - their AI potential alone could be very interesting but I can't touch that money anyway for 15 years so it's very much a playing pot.

MicroStrategy and Tesla!

Lot of truth here - selling is the hardest part for sure. On diversification - I currently only hold 2 shares in my SIPP, it's only play money really but I hold over 80% in cash right now as I thought this year could get tricky as the market unwound the priced in rate cuts. I still think we'll...

Well, for an IFA I'd recommend selecting me if you're outside the UK, or if you're in the UK somebody I refer clients to there (there are 2 or 3 I pass business to). I don't trust anybody else because I've seen how the average IFA operates and I generally hate the profession, I reckon less than...

It is interesting - however you know they're just comparing apples and oranges to generate a clickbait headline right? "Retail investors on the online platform Interactive Investor have bagged returns of 12.6 per cent on average over the past three years, compared with 10.7 per cent delivered...

I'll enter as long as we can select any asset, and not just company shares..

Mate, I have to deal with them all the time - think yourself lucky. It's the majority as well, unfortunately. People certainly are better in a tracker than paying fees to them.

Yes the S&P chart doesn't run right up to today, the point though was the strong correlation with money supply, the updated chart (if I wasn't too lazy to go and get it) would show that correlation continuing to today. Just a point on the IFA charging, even the bad ones tend to charge 1% for...

Interesting chart highlighting the hamster wheel that we're all forced to run on! You need to significantly beat the S&P to actually grow your purchasing power. If interest rates on cash savings were higher than actual inflation (not just the nonsense CPI measure) then a lot of people wouldn't...

I quite liked their doorstep challenge.

This is an interesting point and actually cuts to the heart of the problem in the entire discussion. The question itself ignores all of that "other stuff" that an IFA should be doing for clients, ie. actual financial planning, and therein lies the problem - there's a fundamental disconnect and a...

Just for balance...

Good call, now do it every day for 40 years 😉

Bloody IFAs, what bastards. Never met a good one. Over-diversification is stupid, and the comfort blanket of terrible advisers who have all lost their clients untold amounts of money by allocating to the traditional 60/40 portfolio and similar and failing to do their jobs properly, instead...

If we don't sell out the home end for this game there's something seriously wrong.

To each their own, my friend. You'll get it, eventually.

Bitcoin only. Stay away from everything else. Buy it, forget about it. You'll do better than 99% of these amateur stock pickers.

I wish we could boycott some of our idiot fans.

Let's compare again next year.

154.37%, and I think you know. 🤣
