You’re usually such a stickler for the rules. How disappointing.
Yeah, “full of hate,” that’s me. Grrrrrrr. I know you are dying for me to ask, what porkies am I telling?
Weil if it’s the use of f*** then yeah I believe you were second after Chr1stof, so congrats.

You would hope but there is stuff like this which is worrying

Biden just taken Michigan, he only needs 27 more college votes and that’s it..
Makes the markets interesting tomorrow?
I think that increasing clarity about the result (either way) will boost markets while the threat of a protracted process and consequent continued risk of disorder will depress them.
Yep. They can recount as much as they want, but that won't change anything about the outcome.
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
I have a modest S&S ISA with H&L. Contains a few of the usual suspects like Fundsmith, Lindsell Train, JPMorgan Emerging Markets, a global tracker etc. I'm looking to start feeding some more into it and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for interesting funds to have a look at?
So the supposed nightmare scenario of protracted legal wranglings has already been priced in and the markets seem to like the idea of a Dem Pres and Rep senate, some calmer law making and rhetoric, would that be about right? Seems rather surprising to have clawed back all the losses from last week so quickly

Thanks, its fairly high as half is for my son and he's only 9 and it's not particularly large amounts. I keep roughly 50% in a low cost tracker. I haven't really been researching funds recently and have been holding cash. Before starting to invest again I was just wondering if there were some interesting fund picks / ideas / suggestions for me to have a look at.
I had my quarterly review yesterday, we are a firm hold in an 80% equity tracker

Ah cool. So from personal experience (and of course your mileage/that of others will differ) these seem to be pretty decent:
Scottish Mortgage Trust
Fundsmith Equity
Smithsson Investment Trust
Blue Whale
Baillie Gifford American
I'm sure others here will have some ideas as well - again this isn't advice just some funds/ITs I've found useful
Can anyone recommend biotech and clean energy funds? Thinking long term these will do well so planning to invest my kids ISAs into these.

Thanks for the ideas - I'll have a look 👍

Bitcoin through 15k USD
With institution money now getting involved, I think it might gain some credibility, but I accept its hard to see where it will end up.
I have some BTC that I bought when the price was ~ Ł7k but it's 'duck or no dinner' for me -- I won't sell until 100k (unless some personal catastrophe forces my hand)

i was thinking about Lifestrategy but have seen articles in the FT etc saying bonds are now pointless- basically no yield, and also lacking a diversifier effect (apparently in the last selloff T-bills were correlated with equities)
so i've ended up just buying trackers for the S&P/MSCI World, with the remainder in cash. doesn't seem ideal but i don't know where else to put the non-equity part. (i have a little gold too but that also sold off in the fall!)
That has been my experience of holding the l&g gilts fund over the last year.
Thoughts this week? Looking to start off well. Senate won't be decided until January but would be a miracle if it's not Republican , unless Biden comes out and promises things on guns and stuff hard to see how that changing which should please the City. Maybe some stimulus news this week

Looking to sell the rally a bit higher.
12,425 in the Nasdaq futures, with a tight stop 100 points higher.

Biden win is going down well as expected ... are we now in the new COVID norm?
Markets are moving on with life but seems to me the economic impact of COVID-19 is still under estimated.

Even at 90% effectivness, a lot of coronavirus will still be in circulation. The UK has ordered 30 million doses. And each person requires 2 doses. This will result in 15-20% of the population having vaccination induced immunity.
That is not enough to stop this. Wonder if the traders care
