How's your luck with Premium Bonds?

[JohnD]

Mindless hogwash quoted by and for simpletons.
"But and forget" trackers are ridiculously risky, you cannot compare with a managed fund. It's trolling quality garbage to do so.

Nonsense.

 

[Justin Passing]

That’s complete nonsense.

you said: “If you had £10k in there, popped it on, you'd have earned £1k in 10 minutes”
How would you make any money if you “don’t commit your money”?


By the way, “If you had £10k in there, popped it on, you'd have earned £1k in 10 minutes” …..is just a hindsight statement.

I agree that with analysis you can anticipate a decent probability when the turning point will be…..but you can not under any circumstances predict it.

You're being thick on purpose??
If you're sitting in front of a screen watching the price change every few seconds, you are committing to it, for a fraction of a second.
In a horse race you have to wait until the end of the race. You can't get off the horse.
In the SM, you hop onto a faster horse, free.

You seriously don't know what you're talkig about. You say you can't predict anything, but that's not true. Everything has a probabliity.
You might not win a penny on Premium Bonds, but nobody is knocking them for that.
The stock market is NOT random, it behaves in patterns which repeat. With some knowledge of those, you can work out,, or just make an educated guess, as to a probablilty of what's about to happen.
A saw tooth price pattern which goes up and down at the same time every day is likely to do it again. If you make 1% every day for 10 days, you're up 10%. Then if it goes down instead, you're only up 9%. You close the position if you want to, and see if it re-establishes. You look back over time to see what has happened before. If you see that there's often a small fluctuation of a day or two which corrects itself in the next couple of days, you might decide to hold on,
The stock market is not as random as the Premium Bond return. Previous performance of the sm DOES lean on the performance in future, in characteristic ways. If you don't believe that you're just plain ignorant.
What you need to do, is STFU and educate yourself to stop yourself looking so stupid.

The rises I've shown, in many cases have been going on for a long time and, lo and behold, continued afterwards.
I have even reported recently when I was in the middle of a trade which had gained a lot already, and carried on afterwards.
I have shown you an online resource where , if you followed the predictions they make, you'd be well up, most of the time.
I've shown bank statements ffs.

You're going on with your childish crap presumably because you CBA to do the same.
Your choice, bit don't try to defend your choice with lies.

 

[Justin Passing]

Except it happens to be true

No it isn't. I've already pointed out why it's invalid, and shown it to be untrue. If a bloke on a DIY forum points to a fund which has done better for a while, like a couple of years, and it continues to do better thereafter, it rather proves the point. I don't even have red braces.
I've already explained, that magazines have to sell copy and that's why they say what they do.

No they aren’t.

Yes, tracker funds are more risky than a managed account.
I've been banging on about my BASE fund for ages. Here in orange. I use a better one when there is one, which is most of the time. The orange fund is managed, and I manage it in the collection I hold. Managed.

Your low cost index fund might be US based, blue, or UK based, green

The FTSE did nothing for months.
S&P and FTSE are now lower than at many times in that 18 months.
So, you'd have been better off in a bldg soc.

Q fkn E fkn D. Got it now?? Loser?

 

[Justin Passing]

A look at the history of the ftse will tell you it has outperformed savings accounts significantly for many decades.

We aren't talking about a comparison between those two. Good at lying, aren't you.

Just precisely how stupid are you trying to look?

 

[Notch7]

You don't commit your money

WRONG

If you buy shares, you commit money. End of.

 

[Notch7]

The price moves as a wave, so you can predict the turning point

So tell us the turning point on Tesla stock then.

Come on, put yer money where yer mouth is

 

[Notch7]

Yes, tracker funds are more risky than a managed account

Now you are twisting what you said.

You said: “trackers are ridiculously risky”
I said: “no they aren’t”….which is true

[noseall]

I expect to get "results" in next months draw.

Keep us updated.

 

[motorbiking]

Do you hold any?

 

[Mottie]

Just topped my holding up to the max. They won’t go in the draw until June though. It’s only what I roughly expect to pay in capital gains tax on the workshop sale so I might as well leave it in there until the end of the year.

I can always 'do a Notch' and buy another £50k's worth next month…

I doubt if you'll regret having a max holding because I'm maxed and I do very nicely thank you. It's the same with my wife

[HERTS P&D]

Andy

House. I got planning permission for a house but it expired. The new owner is going to apply again, pretty certain that he will get permission.
