    I am investing into potato growers

    Comment


      Up £5K today, which helps the £11K drop on Friday and £8K yesterday. Taking dividends into account I'm around even over the last 2 years. I'll keep reinvesting the dividends when I hit £1k cash in whatever takes my fancy as a high yield dividend share.

        Market not reacting as badly.


        Should have thought about this a bit more. If we'd had a Remain then the market would have gone up across the board. But a Brexit meant that exporters and gold would have gone up and everything else tanked. Should have bought Rolls Royce, Diageo etc and some gold mines. Oh well.




        About 4/5% down, which I'm not bothered about.


        Had a grand on Theresa May earlier.

          About 15-20k down on the week (still not looking ), and that's on shares alone. On the bright side, I'm still a contractor.

            Converted final EUR into GBP, which was nice.

            Felt like getting Barclays shares yesterday, but when I woke up they were already up

              My portfolio hasn't changed since last week, in Euros I might add

              However that is because I have gold mining shares.

              My non-commodity UK shares tanked. Asian and US shares no change but that's because the Euro was down.
              I'm alright Jack

                How the feck aren't you lot loaded?

                The FTSE 100 was at 5,500 briefly in Feb. It's in the same range it's been trading at for the last 3 months. You were presented with a golden buying opp yesterday.

                You've all been forecasting Cable to fall so you should have positioned accordingly, or at least held indices. The £/EUR has barely moved.

                The Dax is over 1,000 pts above where it was during the Greek crisis.

                You would struggle to lose in these markets but by the sounds of it, you've all managed it!

                  EUR/GBP moved big time in just a week, stock market overvalued, waiting for the Big One before buying controlling stake in FTSE 250 firms, this time next year...

                  Those Brexiters will make me loaded, boomed!!!

                    EUR/GBP has barely moved. It was only a few years ago Cable went from 1.6 to 1.9 in the space of a few days. That was a proper move. Then back again. EUR/GBP has shifted .04 in a week. Unless you are trading in millions then that's sod all.

                    IG have all but taken their margin requirements back to normal levels due to the lack of volatility.

                      Cable moved enough to bankrupt some people - we'll soon know who they are...
