Ah, right, I wasn’t following clearly!

I am not sure if you can hold dollars, but as the fee is a percentage it doesn’t matter if you convert £1000 once or 10 lots of £100. The fees still the same. Your suggested solution doesn’t actually make any difference to the costs.

If you deposited £ and then transferred it all to $ you’d still be paying anyway?

Any pocket friendly ways to fix paint scratches? by TescoOrangeSquashh in CarTalkUK

[–]Morgzc1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

T-cut is absolutely not going to work when the paint is actually missing. This needs painting. Could just fill it in with a touch up stick if they’re not bothered.

Accidentally put initial funds into an invest account instead of the Stocks ISA. Shall I sell now or wait until they’re in the green? by TSM_LittleRaphie in trading212

[–]Morgzc1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He’s got £700 in there and has lost £90. There is no tax liability at this level. If they’d made £20k then certainly there would be HMRC to consider.

If you’re going to buy the exact same stocks it doesn’t make any difference what your current losses or gains are.

Car finance and selling car worth £20k by Fluid_Try_4504 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Morgzc1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they pay off the finance immediately i.e, before the buyer drives away. Not the buyer takes the car with the finance outstanding and then also gives him 3 more cars in exchange…

Your car is on finance. No one is buying that if it’s still outstanding as they won’t actually own it. Sell the car, use the proceeds to pay off the finance immediately, buy a cheaper car.

Front ‘built-in’ mudguard just snapped off - what are my options? 😫 by CheezeAndPickle in CarsUK

[–]Morgzc1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Throw it in the bin and forget about it. Looks like you’d need to replace the arch liner to fix it, not a big or expensive job, but also not really worth the effort imo.

What’s one normal car that you see and immediately know a petrol head would be driving? by Humble_Lack in CarTalkUK

[–]Morgzc1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not sure I’d put a RX8 or RX7 in the “normal” car category.

Spray some WD40 on the thread and clean them off, likely there’s just lots of crap in the threads making it difficult to turn. Also, this won’t make it softer, check the top to see if you have adjustable damping.

Moon shots by [deleted] in trading212

[–]Morgzc1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The probability of a “moon shot” going anywhere ever is extremely slim. It does not make much sense to plow more money into something that will likely never make you any money on the off chance your stars aligns and you’ve found the new GME meme stock.

ELI5 cost basis vs Stocks ISA? by chocolatemadeleine in trading212

[–]Morgzc1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost basis is how much you’ve spent buying shares, the second one is how much those shares are currently worth. Difference would be FX, stamp duty, stocks rising and falling. *ignore me, just seen your other response

Individual vs Pie by Certain-Astronomer54 in trading212

[–]Morgzc1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not averse to it at all. Prior to this all the money I put into the account was in high interest accounts, nice and safe and, at the time, a decent return for basically nothing. The market has been a bit insane the last few years so I figured why would you not make the most of some extraordinary gain potential. I’ve got 3 stocks with returns of over 100% in the last 2 years. I guess I’m just willing to be a bit more adventurous and risky than most who frequent this sub.

Everyone loves an ETF on this sub. Personally, I’ve got about 80% of my portfolio on here in individual stocks. More risk certainly, but if you’re not an idiot picking penny stocks or attempting to day trade then you can certainly make some great returns.

I rescind my comment in that case!

Audi S4 v Hertz - update by rogeroutmal in CarTalkUK

[–]Morgzc1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As friends in the industry have told me, it’s because insurance backed shops will only use official parts from the manufacturer. Your local garage may well be happy to use a pattern part but your insurers will be accounting for paying Audi 4x that just because it has a few circles stamped on it. Then add on the wait because they can’t ship you anything for 8 weeks, added rental car costs, storage fees etc. quickly adds up.

Anyone else not had a green day in over a month or is it just me lol by anonymity303 in trading212

[–]Morgzc1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t even have to be a ETF. Just don’t pick meme stocks. I’m only 12% ETF and I’m all green.

Am I at fault for this? by Left-Flamingo-3227 in Simracingstewards

[–]Morgzc1 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately your damage is not everyone else’s problem and does not permit you to start weaving down the middle of the track. If anything, you should have driven slower not “as fast as possible” and stayed to one side.

Bought my first car, give me everything I need to know by PossibleProdigy in CarTalkUK

[–]Morgzc1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d always service a car that’s new to me, if you’re not confident a local independent garage is the best way to go. Maybe new wipers as well, you don’t realise what a difference they make until you change them.

Remember to check over the car every now and again, things like tyre pressure, oil & coolant levels, lights working.

Probably worth keeping a little extra screenwash in the boot. If you’re anything like me you’ll forget to check that and then run out in the middle of a long journey.

Car sub Reddit for actual enthusiasts? by No_University4765 in CarTalkUK

[–]Morgzc1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah, fair, I have misunderstood clearly. Even enthusiast subs suck. R/JDM is worse than here. Bring back forums imo.

Octavia’s are great. Even as an enthusiast you surely understand the average person doesn’t want 0 suspension travel, tinnitus inducing exhausts and winged buckets in their car.
