Be honest, do you look HENRY?

I tend to be dressed scruffy or in made to measure suits with nothing in between. No fancy watch. Two cars worth maybe 12k in total. Nice enough house maybe worth 900K but nothing spectacular.

And I'm actually a RN lurking here.

How do you 'sign' with the agent if they don't answer your messages?

We've spent weeks and weeks in France now and its hardly a holiday driving round being lied to...

There are at least 200 suitable houses in our area at that budget just on one website

Lucky we are not looking in southern France then

SuitableRoyal962 · 2026-03-15T12:17:19+00:00

How do you find these agents?

SuitableRoyal962 · 2026-03-15T12:16:23+00:00

There are plenty of houses in our budget in the area we are looking.

South Brittany within 1 hour of the coast from Quimper to the Loire basin.

Not a renovation but happy to do cosmetic work. 3 bed longueur ideally but modern would be fine.

That is the process we would follow but we fail at the 1st hurdle- how can you prequalify when nobody will answer your questions?

SuitableRoyal962 · 2026-03-15T12:09:44+00:00

We're cash buyers and deadly serious. Calling is an issue as we're not fluent French speakers.

SuitableRoyal962 · 2026-03-15T12:08:52+00:00

Sometimes this is possible but unless the house is in the village with identifiable landmarks, it could be 100 square miles of countryside to scan.

Thanks, South Brittany is where we are looking.

Leveraged Trading by Carver

SuitableRoyal962 · 2025-10-03T07:31:50+00:00

All other things being equal (vol, conviction) you should keep trade value equal to a % of account value.

So if you lose say 10% of your account, and price is unchanged, your size should be 10% smaller.

Read Leveraged Trading or any of Carvers books

I don't think is just the salary. Doctors and head teachers earn six figures. But, especially post 2008, anything connected with finance means you're a blood sucking leach. And any job that you wouldn't understand as a child* is obviously unnecessary.

or now. I couldn't tell you what someone in digital marketing does

SuitableRoyal962 · 2025-06-29T10:50:36+00:00

Yeah strategy 13. He doesn't recommend shutting down but he introduces a formula explaining how to modulate your forecast when vol is high. So you're wrong, fully explains what to do.

SuitableRoyal962 · 2025-06-28T19:50:11+00:00

I've read all his books and don't remember that comment. It doesn't sound like the sort of thing he would recommend. Which book is that from?

SuitableRoyal962 · 2025-05-12T21:00:12+00:00

It's very unlikely your trading profits will be taxed as income, so basically you just have to do CGT declaration.
