I think it's going the way of the Zloty and Kuna... 5 Pounds to the Euro... 5 Pounds to the Euro. Other way round in 10 years if euro lasts so long.

If the Greeks default - and I think they may well do so - it'll be 'interesting'. Germany will have to find 250 bn euro in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People always wrongly believe that banks lend money which already exists. As if there were a limited supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best they believe that, Pongo, otherwise they might run away with the idea that it's worthless or that they can have as much as they like for doing nothing. That poses more fundamental difficulties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Git Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 My main portfolio is managed, but for hobby investing I use https://www.tddirectinvesting.co.uk/ There used to be an investment club over here in the 00's but it eventually closed. The government weren't too happy with the iominvest URL either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have holdings with Hargreaves lansdown, up until now no problems. However, since recently trying to open a junior account for my son, I seem to have 'alerted them to the fact I am an Isle of Man resident' to quote and that they can no longer allow me to add or withdraw further money, although I can still trade with what's already in the account. This basically renders the account useless to me as I need to keep adding money if it's going to amount to anything worthwhile, and to some extent be able to withdraw when necessary, so I will need to swich provider. They say this is because I am an Isle of Man resident, and the iom is not considered part of the European economic area, and the FCA who regulate them don't allow this. After a lots of searching it seems every fund and share dealing account provider is regulated by the FCA. I have managed to open an account with IG who don't seem to have a problem with this, but they don't offer funds, which I would prefer to be an option if possible. I would be grateful for any advice on this matter, Thanks, Paul PAUL Try Halifax Share Dealing Ltd...they allow IoM residents...I have their T&Cs with me...

notwell Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 They do a share builder account too where you can invest monthly at something like £2.50 a deal. Or they certainly did offer that product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the markets are toppy but it's largely a mugs game for PI''s anyway. Don't want to get into a property debate but struggling to find value property to buy for rental.

Annoymouse Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Looked at this myself, what I need is a stocks/shares ISA but you can't have one on the IOM apparently. Share dealing account is good if you have £1000+ to invest at a time but its not worthwhile putting £200 a month in with a £12.50 charge on every deal.

notwell Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 If you can still get access to Halifax Sharebuilder it's cheap enough to invest 200 quid a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
