Mine's plummeting like you wouldn't believe. I'm gonna make a pledge not to check it until Operation Epstein is over

Same here, not an ISA as they don't exist here but my investment fund with my bank. Although, I'm in crypto so it's just another Tuesday for me.

Mine hasn't been too bad to be honest, I've dropped about 3.2% since 27th Feb I expected far worse. Probably claw back about 1% today the way markets are trading.

Still at a personal rate of return of +56.41%

I check mine everyday regardless, have done eversince I opend my first fund before Ukraine war. Now that scared the shit out of me as a noob investor.

Not if in isa

But he said a bog standard savings account. Unless I misread something.

Folks - bit of advice pse from you wise old SMB investors

Friend of mine (obvs) has £30k in a bog standard savings account paying 4.25% AER interest compounded monthly! He’s not a massive risk taker, the interest gets him £100 a month! Is he best of leaving it there? Or, is there anything out there better with little to no risk, i’ll pass your knowledge onto him!

Think he should be looking at cash ISA and comparing as, according to Martin Lewis, you are entering the tax on savings interest if you have around 20k.
Sorry when I read on someone already mentioned this.

Life was a lot simpler when you only got a statement once a year in the post.

Have had Shell shares since year dot, sold them a couple of months ago, sort of sums up my stock picking skills. Sticking to passive funds now.

Same here. Down an alarming amount in cash terms in the last couple of weeks but still up 15% over the last 12 months - and that includes Trump's brain fart over tariffs. I can't see this this Iran shenanigans won't last much longer as we all know he has the attention span of a 5 year old.

Not sure Iran are going to allow him to just walk away.

I’m not sure the market has cottoned on yet. Trump rattles the market and chickens out x about 10 so far. Everyone has got used to this playbook so are starting to ignore it, not so easy just to pull back from this one, I reckon there may be a shock coming.

Good with me, buy more.
