FCSS Eadwig 20 Nov 2015

Re: Eadwig - Junior ISA holland44,I certainly see your point of view, although as a non tax payer some of it does nor apply to me.Also, I did invest in a mid cap european fund in the past that actually stopped trading after heavy initial losses.. I forget which one it was, but an extremely reputable firm, Shroders or Blackrock I think. I did get about 50% or perhaps more of my money back eventually from the liquidators in three sums over several years. I think the final payment might have been as much as seven years after it stopped trading.I invested in the Shroder Asia Pacific fund, which didn't actually move into profit until after 10 years. And those years were some of the best of Chinese growth, which was what I was after. I remember putting 6 grand in a PEP in the 90s which doubled and then went back to £6k before doubling again. What happens if she hits 18 at the bottom of a market cycle? I too would be feeding such a fund in anticipation of British Uni fees.I don't need to go into FCSS which I was also in more or less from the beginning, do I? The point is, funds are no guarantee of safety either. There is an Aviva one that is a max of 40% stocks, the rest bonds and a little bit of Fx. which I did consider (from them or a similar fund with another provider) for a JISA.I looked at Nationwide (I have one of my own current accounts and savings accounts and ISA there) but there was nothing suitable for my daughter. I didn't fully explain the circumstances, but, although a 'British citizen by birth' (Ie. I, a British subject, am her father), she was not born in Britain nor does she live there. It causes a lot of problems, including with Premium Bonds, another option I looked at.But, as you say, what is the point of a 'savings' account that barely keeps up with inflation even at current levels? I can get 3 or 4% in an account in the country where she lives, but the exchange rate has shifted 20% toward the GBP since she was born. So hardly stable either.Anyway, thanks for your views and I hope the JISA works out soundly for your daughter.

Re: Update on Developments JohnyCash,That is just the Company propaganda.Read what the South American subsidiary are saying.[link] read what a Latin American online mining news service is saying.Just scroll down for news about Minera.[link] for an independent broker view, download the SP Angel pdf document in link 1, or scroll down to view this in link 2.There are so many claims and counter claims made by both sides, it is difficult to know who is telling the truth sometimes. But for my money, it is the main Minera IRL board who are lying through their teeth. The local Peruvian workers and the Peruvian bank are all supporting Minera IRL S.A. and Diego Benavides, and I am happy to back them.

Re: : Ess Ivorjay,"Purchase price & timing remains a mystery though !"It's perfectly obvious. He couldn't buy until after the results were out. When they came out he was then permitted to deal and went in with his million spondoolies and got the shares at a perfectly reasonable price on the day.It couldn't be simpler.I just hope these wretched American ValueAct fellers don't distract him from doing whatever he needs to do to get these puppies flying again. I had a look at ValueAct apropos of their stake in Rolls Royce (as well as in SMIN) and was pretty underwhelmed, though the two birds in the team have each got a spectacular set of choppers and very nice hair. The men look pretty typical locusts to me. One of 'em's called Spivy ffs.LKH on the flybridge

Re: Uncharted heights Hardboy,Ah, no, I've just popped over to the Tesco board (haven't been there is a while ever since I lost interest in large supermarkets as an investment having lost a goodly chunk of wedge in Tesco LOL) and Hardcore is still posting away like a good 'un.LKH on the flybridge did you notice that I'm up to number 20 on the ii Top of the Pops?

Re: Uncharted heights Hardboy,Hardcore seems to have gone rather quiet of late .... doubtless the fact that gold has not been performing in accordance with his predictions has summat to do with it.LKH on the flybridge

Re: Uncharted heights I thought maybe you'd heard Hardcore Uproar had a contract out on me or something similar. )Is he still saying gold is a great investment?)

Re: Is there life in the Old Dog? Woof! Woof! yes there is it seems. News today and John Craven no less making a private investment so who knows this could be the flint spark that turns into a fire. After all when the oil shares fall this far there must be bargains to be had.
