Congrats.

Yo beat all the UK stock indexes.

That's not a hard thing to do.

May I suggest to you The Motley Fool and Morningstar. Both excellent reads and full of information. They tipped me when to sell Persimmon shares which made a massive 80% growth in just under 2 years. On the minus side, I lost around 5% on pharmaceutical shares, never a sensible investment but worth a risk now and then.

It's not rocket science and studying the markets is a better gamble than the Euro Millions.

Usually when someone tips me about buying or selling on the stock market it seems to serve his or her interest more than mine. You must have really reliable friends.

And to be honest, to beat the major indexes with 12% is a hard thing to do. At least for me, and for 99,9% of all the others. You're the golden egg in the nest.

I know it naught to do with this thread except for the fact that Brexit made some stocks and shares more attractive than others but it really is not that hard.

You know full well that all parties harp on about building more houses. Look at the various builders, check what the directors are up to in the way of bonuses etc, look at their land banks, check the divi payments and their weighting and follow the chat on sites like LSE.

Then there is Lloyds Bank. The biggest mortgage lender in the UK and well under valued at present. PPI is almost over and Lloyds return a very good divi with good weighting.

Look at what the brokers are weighting the various companies at, look at the last 5 years charts and from there make you pick. Never gamble more than you can afford to loose and then keep an eye on the investments on a daily basis. Read all of the news about your stock companies (especially in the FT) and sell when their looks to be a blip coming along. Persimmon were a classic example. High share price gain as profits were well up but then it was rumoured the directors were going to take a very large bonus. Time to sell and take the profits.

Now it's companies like Barratts that are worth investing in. Not doing any more pharma' companies, they are all crooks.

Maybe it will breathe new life into trade with the commonwealth.

Barratt's has been my main earner for the last 2 years, an absolute no brainer given the dividend yield with the special dividend thrown in when it was in the mid 4 quid level. I hold a lot.

You're only considered unemployed if you're receiving unemployment benefit, these figures are manipulated constantly and are in no way shape or form to be taken at face value.

Very true. last time i signed on in the UK i did not qualify for benefits of any kind as a single male with no dependents and !0,000 in the bank.
They moaned at me for not having internet and a smart phone to job hunt with and told me i could have my non existent benefits removed. When i pointed out that it cost be 2 quid to come and sing on they told me to sign off then, whihc i did. 1 less on the books

It's a beautiful system. I look forward to all the complications it causes due to Brexit, dare I say suicides look to be on the increase?

There comes a point when saving money has diminishing returns, if society gets worse as a consequence then costs go up elsewhere.

I love Barratts. My holding is now 30% of my total.

I know they can be a bit mercurial but when you look at their growth over a long period and take into account the high dividends as you say, they are a "No Brainer". At present I am not into "ex dividend" selling and buying as that hurts my brain too much but I am sure that would increase the profits even more.

With Brexit, I think that one of the added benefits to both Labour and the Tories, is the shedding of a few potential problems for the respective leaders. Pity about Chuka Umunna. he seemed a sensible type of socialist which is what Labour need rather than the Trotskyites that have taken over with the backing of Militant. Anyone who is a committed Socialist Labour supporter rather than a Trotskyite Labour supporter should look deep into Militants background and the people who run it. Venezuela anyone?

Excuse me. Pharmaceuticals, like Novo Nordisk, are good for bear markets, like the one we are headed for, because they pay dividends and are well managed and stable.

True the stock price is flat or declining a bit but that is to be expected for a company at that stage.

Maybe we need an investment forum. I am quite happy with a constant 8% from prasac, no risk. When you look at how the tech boys have done up and down like a yoyo so if you bought or sold wrong you did not do so well. If you think the american stock market is going to rise forever then good luck. Bust follows boom.
Technically if you live enar a car factory voting for brexit caused your unemployment. if you do something that causes you to lose your job you don't qualify for benefits. Cannot wait for the tories to try that on when the shit hits
