    Hi As per my email yesterday the CGT reports are generated by the custodian and we are waiting for the API links form the new custodian to be finalised. Once that is done the reports will be back on the portal. In the meantime just drop me a message and I will run a manual report for you Cheers

    We need to remember we paid $90 18 months ago. To say it's been a fantastic investment is a huge understatement. My view is simple. Value is based on durable earnings and cashflow (and a bunch of other 'stuff). Are their earnings durable. Well, every piece of evidence, and I mean every, says yes. If their biggest customers are locking in supply agreements for 5 years they think so. Nvidia thinks so, TSM thinks so, Musk thinks so. Mehrotra, a veteran in the industry thinks so. The only ones who don't think so are a few shorts. And I don't believe they believe what they say. Anything that moves +10X can be knocked down a peg or two if you sew the seed of doubt. It's a simple but effective play on human nature. Fear and greed. And here is the icing on the cake. It's not like we are sitting here with a bubbly multiple, one in the 40s or 50s(or more). It's 5. Put another way, Micron will earn more money than Apple, MSFT and even Google in 27/28/29/30 but its valuation is 25% OF them. It may even catch Nvidia. I like the margin of safety

    Just to add to this so the tax "advantage is clear" In simple terms, so ignoring any NI for illustrative purposes If you sacrifice £10k as Adam has shown above then £10k is paid into your pension If you had taken it as salary then you would have received £6,000 and HMRC would have received £4,000

    @Adam-Kay ouch! That is a hefty price ramp for those of us who are into the Apple ecosystem Luckily we refreshed some kit a year ago….I was toying with replacing my aging iPad, but perhaps I will bludgeon on for another 10 years Or maybe cash in some of the ISA to “use the profits”

    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.

    fyi... Winterflood Business Services (WBS) is a UK financial infrastructure provider with about £17.5bn in assets under administration and around 61 institutional clients, supporting a much wider downstream network of platforms, brokers and wealth managers. It sits behind major UK investment platforms rather than serving end investors directly. Clients include well-known wealth and platform firms such as Fidelity International, Transact, Quilter, Aviva, and other adviser platforms and brokers that outsource custody, dealing, settlement and reporting to WBS.
