Reply to: My pension pot

[Jeebo72]

I dunno, I put in about that much as well in shares and some of my funds are probably up 21% as well.

And I am being headhunted as well.

Should have said 21.5% ... get with the program.

Got to remember as impressionable teenagers we were being brought up with “loadsa-money” ...bish bosh...

Leave the boasting to the professionals.

Ah, another 'look how much I'm worth/am earning' thread from Scooter.

Exactly. It's bloody disgraceful that posters on a contracting forum should boast of their high daily rates, disposable income, champagne lifestyles and their investments. Poor bloody show!!!

[scooterscot]

Excellent, so instead of a low cost tracker returning me 31% I can pay a very expensive fund manager or IFA and get 21%!

Where do I sign!

31% - I don't play dice

21% - A measured risk

Isn't that what this forum is about -

[Jeebo72]

I wasted £1000s upon £1000s on those worthless Barclays (50p), RBS (12p), LLyods (40p), and Trinity Mirror (50p) ...

Perhaps I should have just taken professional advise. Then looking at my pension which is in -ve territory perhaps not ...

You never count your money when your sittin' at the table, there'll be time enough for counting when the dealin' is done.

Well done, so thats 1 x £1000 x 21%.

Well done.

I hope you do not work in banking.

Just had a meeting with IFA to discuss my portfolio. At the minute cash is invested across a diverse range of stocks. Nearly £1000 a month I put into the pot.

I've just learnt the interest on the portfolio grew to 21% on the last 12 months to date. Boomed!!
