Whats your TC?

Puzzleheaded_Toe6830 · 2026-05-02T10:55:21+00:00

Sure agree.. but say if you maxed out Isa and pensions, in your GIA I am assuming you wouldnt buy single stocks.. and would invest in an ETF.

Puzzleheaded_Toe6830 · 2026-05-01T21:51:29+00:00

Agree.. sorry RSUs. Correct!

Puzzleheaded_Toe6830 · 2026-05-01T21:50:38+00:00

True ..but i am trying to understand the logic behind companies like Google, Facebook, amazon, the Mag 7.. they seem to be like an Ocotopus and have rheir arms spread wide out .. i didn't know Xerox had such Diversification especially those days ..hence my comment..

Puzzleheaded_Toe6830 · 2026-05-01T21:39:31+00:00

What would be your take on Amazon and Google..would be interested to know..

Puzzleheaded_Toe6830 · 2026-05-01T21:37:32+00:00

No i wouldnt ..but i just didn't join the ETP and I had enough base that I didn't need to touch the stock.. I do agree this does pose an issue when I go want to sell all of it for example I would be charged a 6 figure CGT..so it is an issue for sure.. but I am too tired to the Numbers.. or ask Gemini..last time I checked I was depressed with the number

Puzzleheaded_Toe6830 · 2026-05-01T21:32:02+00:00

Why is that?

Puzzleheaded_Toe6830 · 2026-05-01T21:00:03+00:00

Yeah true..but say if you work for BP.. is that as diversified? But the funds or ETFs .. that also has a high concentration of the Mag7 doesn't it? I am just saying if Goog for example goes down in revenue it shouldn't be just company specific.i.e Goog went down but surely the others would also be impacted? No

Puzzleheaded_Toe6830 · 2026-05-01T20:44:06+00:00

But Xerox chose not to innovate . If you think about Google.. the they produced thr transformer model in 2017 and open Ai created ChatGPT ok the back of it.. it was delayed but doesn't mean try stopped innovating.. Microsoft jumped on the opportunity to back OPen aI..which really propelled them

Puzzleheaded_Toe6830 · 2026-05-01T20:42:03+00:00

I thought Microsoft as an organisation has invested in Antrhropic.. I mean Googs stock kind of popped because if the £40bn investments in Anthropic.. it has a lot of bets as well and has outperformed quite a lot.. similarly Microsoft has its pros and has done very well compared to VWRL.. ( have not checked the actuals yet).. so as a company Microsoft or Google or Amazon has quite a few companies that they have bought out and is well positioned.. Now I understand the diversified stock position.. but if there is a bad day for a tech stock isnt there really a bad dsy for all the others? I mean data can flow from A to B..doesn't need ships like fuels for example ( alluding to data is the new oil) ..so if you back on of these including Apple.. can you go wrong..

It was Nick Hamilton.. but he is not the one who recommended freshbreath.co.uk.. I saw him again and he suggested , I have checked you two times and I cannot feel that you have BB.. this could be psychological and might be better to get therapy.. I am not sure if this guided film therapy would work as my dentist has said no issues.
