I get your message requesting this to be apolitical, but it does feel rather like market manipulation from the US President. No views on that?
@mikeiow I don’t think it “feels like” that - it’s blatantly obviously the case and is so for every idiotic initiative he embarks upon.
Have you seen the charts floating about which detail billions in trades in the few short minutes preceding his announcements? Both ways, buying and selling, depending on what the announcement is.
It’s insider dealing on an industrial scale.

'stuff' like that always happens-I would think dozens if not 100s of people knew and know about any impending comms. You can draw your own conclusions but if you think DT himself makes a few calls to tip off a trader or an institution, I think that is just fantasy-regardless, we have no influence over these or any other Tump events and it doesn't change the investment decisions.
It would appear for now things are derisking.

Mines also not looking it's best at the moment,

Yeah, if someone can let me know when it's safe to look again...

PHE?

Hi O,
PHE is -6.99% YTD
Nest Sharia -4% -
Thanks. Not as bad as I had thought.
For right or wrong, I see PHE as analogous to Fundsmith, but Fundsmith has done significantly badly in the last 18 months. The fact that it's down 11% on the start of the year compared to PHE down 6.99% shows that there are indeed differences.
I have a reasonable chunk in Fundsmith. As much as possible will be coming out as soon as the tax year rolls 'round.
Thanks again for your input Adam
