not the idea of a rise... that is possible and likely to happen over the next year however you'll unlikely see one taking us to above 1% within a month... you'll see either a rise of 0.25 or 0.5 taking us to 0.75 or 1%

Don't mention premium bonds you'll set [TW]Fox off. He has search term bookmarked I think.
Soldato
Ha. My family are and always have been obsessed by them. Don't get it at all.

Ernie bonds, gotta catch them all. Mum got me and my brother to buy a couple of £100 worth when we were younger, needless to say after a few years of sitting doing nowt they where quickly gone.

Now the fund is open, Ive been doing some reading and it looks to be more of the same from Woodford, he's basically replicating the Investco Perp High Income fund. No bad thing I guess, but I already hold his old fund.
He will be launching another smaller UK companies fund not long after apparently.

Omg have you seen ASOS? Down 50%/1,380p on profit warning: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/06/05/uk-asos-idUKKBN0EG0OO20140605
Is that likely to be a stable price point or a temporary dip do people think?
Somebody just made a bucket load either way.

Are you willing to take bets on that 1.5% rate, I'll bet you a grand that they won't be at 1.5%
. Edit just in case there's a no betting thing on the forums - this is obviously just to show my disbelief that rates won't rise, not a serious offer.

Thats why I have no clue what asos is worth, its not amazon is it 
GRaph was already broke from previous falls, buy 2000 maybe 2500
RRL is up 25% Bought a couple of those at least. Double volume for today, would be good if it could pan out and break its downtrend properly
Looking back Im thinking big shares like EZJ are best or easier profit then aim. Buy 1300, sell 1700 I think would be good but the share is strong long term looks like
Anyone agree with that especially? actually I know someone in alloys, I guess I can ask

Yup, I'm a fan of EZJ and ABF. Definite target of 1700 for EZJ and ABF goes up and down more predictably than any other stock I know well enough - great for spread betting.

Currently sitting on +£100 with a £1 spread on ASOS. How greedy should I be?

stick with it - it will come back - usual shock tactics from results and bounce back (i've been trying to get on it since this morning to spreadbet it as well but stupid works internet is up and down all the time)

Maybe the thread to ask since we don't have a specific investment one but wondering if anyone here holds any ETCs for that out there diversification?
Well GVC.L continues to pay very handsomely indeed.
On top of this fantastic capital appreciation, it has paid out a whopping 91.5 Euro cents per share in the last two years. I have re-invested the lot and more. This share has literally changed my life, as I made a large investment at about £1.20, and in my opinion is still undervalued.
I would imagine given the recent rises, there will be a pullback at some point soon, but in any case, just wanted to put it on people's radars...
As Brazil's largest online gaming operator, the next few weeks could be massive for them!

Commoditys ? Yes now seems a good time, I just wish I'd clicked 2011 was a sell.
I guess the debt default thing was an apex
My broker wants to telephone interview me on my expertise for such treacherous things. ie. they think im too poor
Yes they can be leveraged and quite a few use/most futures but I held one for 4 years, it didnt blow up (I did sell most of it way back but not the miners so much
)dont use ETN, thats a cheque post dated
ESSAR being delisted. VGM bought by the Chinese, who are its biggest customers (but declared no increase in gold holding)- the chinese, etc. maybe a few others. Really nice to buy in a fire sale (if theres going to be a market for it). FRES went from 100 to 2000 in not that long, its 780 again now
Intel is doing fabulous, I held so much more previously but I basically hold the profits for higher. Anything like ASOS or GVC I'd argue similar even when it shines. Brazil has a lot of strikes now, theres always some bug in the soup waiting to pop up.
INTC shares look strong and afaik their actions are good for the future
BP up also despite ongoing costs still rising

Is anyone else using iWeb share dealing? I can no longer fund my account there by a monthly DD, I have to log in each time to fund it. It seems that I can't instruct my stocks ISA account to fund a fund manager monthly either, clicking to do so just takes me to the one off purchase screen, which charges me £5 every time I want a trade.

Yeah, but no quite Gold or Oil... I mean like WOOD or HOGS, random sectors.
Soldato
reminds me of trading places. I dont try to do sectors, I buy the CRB index which is just a mix of everything
Its a bit too hot for me to juggle, I dont know the next harvest or if buildings will use up a lot of wood stock or something.
All sorts of strange things can happen, commoditys can be a currency proxy. In China they were using pure copper by the tons as mortgage security in deals, the gov banned it but for a while the price really boomed. Copper has been a monetary element at times in history, Coffee is a big deal but I dont try to guess these things!
In vietnam houses are traded with gold bars, even oil can get weird relate to shipping, politics etc in theory we could be swamped with oil, depends on Iraq imo then global growth
TSB looks a definite maybe
Essar Oil rises 10% in Bombay on its new gov, just as the shares delist here. Medusa gold is another one. India stocks could rise a lot maybe, its just as valid as china

Some more info on the TSB float at Proactive Investors. I'm very undecided on this one at the moment. Only 'Pro' is that it looks cheap, but quite a few 'Con's:
- No dividend until at least 2017
- Lloyds will only be selling 25% off, so more sales later on will depress the SP.
- They look to be wanting to aggressively grow their business (40 to 50% balance sheet increase) .... that's what Northern Rock did !
The sale is only because Brussels is forcing them into it. I suspect that whoever our new government in may next year turns out to be is either going to stick 2 fingers up to the EU and act like the French - we'll only obey the rules we want to obey - or get banking supervision returned back to national governments (which amount to the same result).
