Dave!

You don’t consider ethics at all? in any investments?!

If someone came to you with a solid investment plan in a company you knew used sweatshops using child slaves (A few kids die here and there, but great returns!) you’d be ok with that?

Thinking about it I refuse to buy British American Tobacco but it's the only one I can remember just saying no to despite it being a good bet for long term stability.

Dave!

Well i’m glad you have some standards.

That’s how i feel about proof of work crypto - it’s disgusting to promote such a pointless waste of resource.

Tell us about what your pensions invested in. You probably have no idea but like to think you're whiter than white.

Thats a fair comment, but I still make a point of not actively choosing to support it.

I still hope it fails too - regardless of if that affects me.

If it could all be good dividend percentages and low prices for the next ten years without a huge rise in the next two, that would be awesome.

Also with the disgusting tax on investments and shares as it is, it's a benefit for the prices to stay low if you are at the active investment stage.

In conclusion, it's a tricky game and I hope everyone has some luck!

Don’t really understand this. I’d prefer my portfolio account value to double in a year and pay the tax on it rather than have it do nothing/go down. That’s still money I wouldn’t have otherwise had.
Hear so many people moaning about making large profits and how they’re going to have a huge tax liability. Then fucking don’t invest
