      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.

            Not sure the ‘derisking’ is going very well…I do know my pot remains a solid 10% down since before the not-authorised-by-Congress-War began…

                  It's never nice to see red but as has been said before quality comes back. We are negative YTD however doing far better than others-as has been the case for the past several years.

                  Cobens tech portfolio is -4.7% YTD
                  Nadaq circa -10%
                  Fundsmith -11.5%
                  Cathy Wood Innovation -15%
                  Biff Tanner Tech circa -20% to -23%

                  Cobens Tech 1 Yr +45%

                        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
