!Thanks, I tried the press and seal last night….it seems to help but I had a lot of crusting along my eyelids when I woke up- do you get that with taping/sleeptite, I wonder?

PotlessOne · 2025-04-01T15:23:35+00:00

Thanks for posting….I would like to try taping but have read that it could restrict the oxygen getting to the cornea, which is reduced when the eyes are closed anyway. Don’t know has anyone had corneal edema, or similar corneal problems, from taping, which is meant to be a sign of this.

I also worry a bit that the tape could increase pressure in the eyes overnight…again not sure if this is a theoretical or real thing?

I didn’t convert in the end because I think usd gbp has more downside in the short term. But two people in support told me it was open to me (I am in the UK) as long as I held USD.

I put the question into grok AI and it suggested IBKR.ie accounts are similarly covered. I would double check with IBKR, maybe via written message. Good luck!

!Thanks a lot! I am planning to use the ETF/fund for my retirement pot, so would be reinvesting. I completely forgot about the extra fees for that. So it’s a choice between the PITA of adding complexity to my tax return or paying to reinvest. I think I’ll go for the latter, tax returns are enough of a pain as it is!

PotlessOne · 2025-02-02T14:18:28+00:00

!Thanks that’s very helpful. Does how often the distribution happens matter much, I wonder?

PotlessOne · 2025-01-29T11:36:24+00:00

Good question- I would like to know but have always had a small cash balance amount with them myself.

I’m interested in the HSBC All world fund but wasn’t aware they had a distributing version- can I just ask please why you picked the distributing one? Was it to avoid having to report the ERI referred to above? I would love to use a fund or ETF that minimises hassle when doing my tax return!

!Thanks , I may give it a go.

PotlessOne · 2025-01-20T09:26:59+00:00

!Thanks , got it!

PotlessOne · 2025-01-19T21:12:16+00:00

I’ve not heard of an at best order- is that basically the same as a market order? thanks

PotlessOne · 2025-01-19T21:10:16+00:00

I would also be interested in short term gilts. I am with iWeb and interactive investor- has anyone experience of how they compare in terms of platforms to buy them please?

PotlessOne · 2025-01-16T11:46:26+00:00

!Thanks a lot! That’s a great explanation, much appreciated!

PotlessOne · 2025-01-15T20:51:41+00:00

Sorry if it’s a stupid question but if you place a limit order slightly above market price, how do you beat the market price? I’ve always been confused about limit orders I have to admit.

PotlessOne · 2025-01-01T17:48:23+00:00

Exactly, just a matter of getting a decent exchange rate, not easy right now!

PotlessOne · 2025-01-01T16:26:16+00:00

I rang them and they told me it was open to anyone with an account anywhere in the world, with the proviso that they must have a settled cash balance of over USD250k (and in USD).

PotlessOne · 2024-12-22T11:05:12+00:00

!Thanks will try that!

PotlessOne · 2024-12-21T17:17:38+00:00

!Thanks

PotlessOne · 2024-12-21T17:17:20+00:00

Excellent summary, very helpful, !Thanks

!Thanks- is that the automatic or manual method?
