I think that Southern Cross tells us everything we need to know about what happens when the private sector supplies services that the state should provide The US economy is f@cked because Bush started two wars and gave tax breaks to large corporations. It's certainly not because of their generous social handouts. Imagine what a nightmare it would be if you lost your job in the USA and then were taken seriously ill. The tea party would no doubt say it was God punishing you! |

Lloyd’s shares have crashed the same as all other banks over the last couple of months. Barclays were trading at 330 plus back in the Spring. Now just 186. Not just the banks, but 90% of all other FTSE 100 shares have dived!! Been one disaster after another, Japan earthquake, Middle East unrest, Turkey, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, USA etc
Lloyds wouldn’t have required a bail out if they hadn’t been persuaded by the then Labour government to take on bankrupt HBOS. Lloyds will survive this crisis, and their shares will recover. With interest rates at just 0.5%. It has to be worth putting your money into shares. Even if you have to sit on them for a year or two you will double your money,

I'm a natural born cynic and it just seems that buying these shares while they are this low is too good to be true. I don't believe in get rich quick schemes and the fact that these shares being so low is all over the news fills me with even more skepticism about it. I'd be very surprised if the masses of casual buyers snapping these shares up at the moment manage to double their money and don't somehow get stung by the big boys.

I'm getting interested in this shares malarkey.
What is declarable to the Inland Revenue? Are they advised of your income from your broker, or is it done on a self-disclosure basis? Can a broker pay any liquid funds outside of UK without attracting attention? How does one open a balance with a broker? Could you, in theory, pay cash in and have them trade with that and thus legitimise a chunk of cash?

Do you pay a full 40% on any profit? Or is it at a reduced rate? seems a bit unfair, given you're risking income on which you've already paid income tax to then pay full rate again on something that definitely isn't a sure thing.

Profit on share deals are subject to Capital Gains Tax at 18% or 28% (higher rate tax payers). You also have a £10500ish per year CGT allowance before you pay tax. Dividends, however, are counted as income and subject to tax at your prevailing rate.

My portfolio is down £16k in the last week alone. It's only a paper loss as I am not selling a single share until the markets get back to normal.
Still not good to see £3k losses every day though. |

It may counter intuitive, but if you have investments and are a regular (monthly) saver with a long term financial goals (ie Pension) then these sort of stockmarket fluctuations are a good thing. You will be buying new stock at much lower prices, and the mechanism of pound cost averaging will average out the peaks and troughs over time.
After the crash/crisis of 2008, it only took stock markets about 18 months to recover lost ground, and the FTSE100 and other indices went up by 40% over the last couple of years or so. It doesn't help the nerves though when you check up on your portfolio and it has dipped 12% in just a couple of weeks! As for bank shares, I want to dive in a buy BARC and RBS, head says NOOOOO. Predicting the bottom is a complete lottery. |
