      Bit worried if you’re using Amigo loans.

      Loans are like 4%.

      My point(which I’m sure you’re aware of) is that you get £20k ISA allowance a year..if you don’t use it..its gone.

      Stocks and Shares ISA..drip it in.

      Ok, so for example..say you and your wife can put in full allowance a year..makes 10% return..which is bang average..

      Year 1 - £44,000
      Year 2 - £92,400
      Year 3 - £145,540
      Year 4 - £204,094
      Year 5 - £268,503
      Year 6 - £339,353
      Year 7 - £417,289
      Year 8 - £503,018
      Year 9 - £597,319
      Year 10 - £701,051

      Retire on £70k tax free a year ..maintaining your capital. One year, you need to dip into the pot, but then the next year you might make more interest.

      If you can get 15% a year then that’s £933k Year 10 and £140k

      Anyway..DYOR as usual, but that’s my strategy based on growth, if people want income, then go for the high paying dividend funds and ITs.

      Plenty of people do this to some extent, and a guy called Einstein knew a bit about maths and compound interest..

      “Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world. He who understands it earns it; he who doesn’t, pays it.”

        Behave. The only way you’ll hit your target is because of Covid and the threat of another “full” lockdown. That’s absolutely nothing to do with your charts.

        If there isn’t another “full” lockdown, and if more good vaccine news comes, your toast.

        It’s a massive gamble.

        Anyway, I’ve sold my THRG.L this morning, and hoping my Fundsmith doesn’t tank too much before the order goes through.

        This is to just free up some money in case the rest of my portfolio drops a lot more, when I’ll top up again.

        Wanted to get rid of Fundsmith anyway, as I have SSON which has a similar strategy albeit with smaller companies.

            The rebound coincided almost exactly with this post. How do you do that?

              This is a continuation of 2008. Still a debt bubble just as it was then. Deflation will come soon enough, before the year end. It'll create a huge number of opportunities, I hope the young get a chance to grab with both hands, they've been shafted over royally.

                Let's hope so - I have some cash to put in and be quite nice to buy in low again

                  Rebound? What?? What are you studying the 5 second chart or something?
