    Im down 16% YTD, topped up on Lloyds at 72p thinking it was low. Seriously considering a big banking splurge but who knows there could be another 25% in this rout?

    In or Out?

    Im more scared by the consequences of voting to stay than leaving, no one warns about this might mean. I fear it will taken as a open season by the EU bureaucrats to plough ahead regardless, if you think we're taken for granted now just wait until we've effectively given them are asses. We're...

    In or Out?

    Eastern European nations are creating their own voting blocs within the Union that gives them influence they would not otherwise have. This has led to Poland having an astronomical amount of EU funding to build roads, rail networks and infrastructure that puts our Victorian rubble to shame (one...

    In or Out?

    Ah, the illustrious Goldman Sachs, that waved through Greek accession to the EU, the same Goldman Sachs which shorts against its own advice to clients. Wouldn't mind knowing how much poor Goldman Sachs vested interests are in a EU breakup.

    In or Out?

    The 'deal' shows what little influence we have in the EU and what little hope there is for reform. We're being dictated to by the majority of poor States that will never agree to rescind their EU rights to the transfer of access to UK jobs, wealth and soverignty. It will get worse with the...

    Higher Rate and Take Home - What do you prefer?

    I leave in the tax money and draw the rest. I figure that you only take the tax hit once, outside my company the money is working for me and split a cross equities and BTL. Takes 2-3 years to grow enough to overcome the tax hit.

    Choosing between contract offers?

    What do I need to know about these boards? Its a contractor board, the clue is in the name, I wouldn't come here if I wanted advice re which car to buy. Clearly you feel differently but your here for self fulfilling reasons aren't you. Talking of which your first attempt at a rebuke (above)...

    Choosing between contract offers?

    Can't you do any better than mild insults? I didn't confuse anything, I think you're the one confused, so confused you seem to think your contribution is worthy of answering your inane questions. Its nice to know you're curious re my contractor status but like your responses so far, its...

    Clarified but why post here at all, surely a car forum would have been more appropriate?

    Choosing between contract offers?

    Choosing between contract offers?

    You're right. Decision has been made (contract 2), guess I was looking for some perspective and re-assurance? Its only 6-12 months, doesn't really matter in the scheme of things.
