    @2BToo said in Small cash withdrawal from ISA - timeframes?: I'd like to take out about £10k (to buy a car - very PH!) . I think you need to give more details so we can vote on the PH worthiness of the car. Timeframe are probably positively affected by cylinder count, engine displacement, horse power and negatively affected by cup holder count and electrification status.

    @Nik-Burrows Ok, thanks Nik. So if I reinstate the small DD monthly it will still invest every month as it always used to. That is my preferred way to pay in to the JISA.

    It’s performed well, Pete. Its valuation is too extreme for me, though. Corning, Marvell, AVGO are also in the mix re photonics, optical/laser transceivers.

    Thanks Nik, for the update above and the emails. Seems that a few things have coincided, leading to me finding the process a little confusing, but hopefully that will all resolve soon.

    At Computex, yesterday Chey Tae-won, SK Hynix Chair, said 'memory' will be constrained despite aggressive expansion in bit growth, until at least 2030. It's the end of the Q for Micron (May 29). Earnings are scheduled to be reported Wed June 24th: [image: 1780386120498-screenshot-2026-06-02-at-08.41.33.png] I expect Revenue of $40B and net income of $25B (EPS $24) I expect the Q4 guide to be close to $50B and net income > $30B (EPS $29-$30) Management seem to consistently play it very safe so +$8B-$10B is likely re the guide. It seems somewhat academic given the market conditions (every wafer sold at very high margins), demand approx 2X supply and getting more favourable for the vendor. Similar to the Nvidia cadence, ever Q is more and will be same for many many quarters.

    yes of course. The Target Date only maps the portfolio. Thereafter it's up to 'you'. Add, withdraw subject to wrapper of course(SIPP), switch to something else. To be clear you are not locked-in in anyway

    And some say AI isn't being monetised Anthropic has reportedly agreed to spend around $200 billion over five years on cloud infrastructure and AI chips from Google, highlighting the intensifying race for computing power in the artificial intelligence sector. According to the report, this deal would position Anthropic as one of the largest customers of Google Cloud, potentially representing more than 40% of its revenue backlog. The scale of this commitment reflects rapidly growing demand for high-performance computing, driven by the expansion of Anthropic’s Claude AI models and increasing enterprise adoption of generative AI tools. Businesses are relying more heavily on such systems for automation, analytics and customer-facing applications, which in turn requires vast processing capacity. The agreement, signed in April, also includes access to advanced tensor processing units, with contributions from partners such as Broadcom. Deployment is expected to begin around 2027, signalling long-term strategic investment in AI infrastructure.

    Some analysts comments Apple grabbed attention on Friday after posting better-than-expected results for its fiscal second quarter, with the iPhone 17 range still clearly landing well with customers. That said, it was the outlook for the next quarter — especially on gross margins — that really caught even the most bullish on Wall Street off guard. In a good way. Margin worries ease Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring said Apple’s forecast of 47.5% to 48.5% gross margins for the upcoming quarter — despite “significantly” higher memory costs — came as a nice surprise. “Revenue and profit strength are holding up, including a standout June quarter margin outlook, which makes us more confident Apple can handle record cost inflation,” he wrote in a note to clients. He added that the latest results were likely the turning point investors were waiting for, setting the shares up to perform well heading into the September iPhone launch. Woodring kept his Overweight rating and lifted his price target to $330 from $315. For the next quarter, Apple expects total revenue to grow between 14% and 17% year-on-year — well ahead of the 9.3% analysts had pencilled in. Services revenue should come in roughly in line with the March quarter, even after stripping out favourable currency movements. On rising memory costs, outgoing CEO Tim Cook said on the earnings call that Apple would “look at a range of options” to manage the impact. Product momentum and supply chain edge While margin concerns seem to have eased for now, J.P. Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee pointed out that Apple’s product momentum is pretty exceptional at the moment. “Despite investor concerns, the bigger challenge for Apple looks to be on the supply side — particularly getting hold of advanced processors needed to keep up with stronger-than-expected iPhone demand, and increasingly for Macs too,” he said. He noted a recent spike in demand for the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and the newly launched MacBook Neo. Chatterjee also said the upbeat guidance suggests Apple is gaining market share across its product lines, thanks to strong customer demand and better supply chain management — especially when it comes to memory — compared with rivals. He raised his revenue forecasts, stuck with an Overweight rating, and kept a $325 price target. Citi analyst Atif Malik said so-called “agentic” AI is boosting demand for Macs, putting Apple in a solid position to benefit from the AI wave. During the earnings call, Apple highlighted strong demand for the Mac mini and Mac Studio tied to AI use cases, while MacBook demand has been “off the charts”. Given Apple’s sheer scale and buying power, Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers said that’s turning into a real competitive advantage — particularly versus other PC makers. “We see Apple’s economies of scale as a major plus in the current environment,” he said, pointing to a big jump in long-term purchase commitments, which could signal major supply agreements, including for memory.

    When the 'news'(fake) dropped I was highly sceptical...also the rumour Nvidia was buying DELL-makes no sense at all. DELL is a low margin capital intensive business -the exact opposite environment that Nvidia operates in. JPM says reports that MRVL won Google TPU business are false, arguing Google is talking to multiple parties while AVGO remains the clear incumbent.

    Oracle has expanded its partnership with Bloom Energy to secure up to 2.8 gigawatts (GW) of Bloom’s fuel cell systems to support the growth of its AI data centre infrastructure. For perspective, 2.8GW is enough to power 7 million UK homes! A staggering amount of energy.
