US has had the heaviest QE1/2/3 etc and economy improving well down there, now Good economic news means FED QE reduction on track...

Once US starts QE reduction, UK will follow say about 6-12months after...provided US QE reduction doesn't cause major halt to economic growth.

Time to buy again in batches...
We won't aim for new highs this year...I think but short term can re-test recent highs but not higher...that's my view but dyor

"Out of nowhere, Carney Carnage erupted in the markets. If today's meeting is anything to go by, the BoE rate decisions are about to get a lot more interesting."

only short short swing trades this one.
can be very dangerous otherwise

£24 gave out. And out - a small price for hedging insurance.

There is no decay on this, but it is not suitable for long-term investment due to inherent mathematics - read the prospectus before committing funds.

[faza3] 24/6/2013 16:31

down tomorrow

[notanewmember2] 24/6/2013 16:29

Not investable - there is a decay on this. Longer term could be this?

Don't recommend as a fund investment for long-term, only advised to use as short-term tool/hedge.

[brucie5] 24/6/2013 12:31

These appear to have gone down over 5 years, i guess from the recovery of the 2008/9 bear market. Does anyone have a clear view of where the trend is now going or is this not investable as a normal fund? i am curious, though have no position.

[notanewmember2] 24/6/2013 11:55

I think the time to buy these is now and take £24 as a base. Lets see what happens by the end of this week (now it is £24.80).

[mali7] 24/6/2013 08:55

Who said patience doesn't pay off?

After months of buying this in several batches finally all positions in good profit, and some banked today, even those bought at £24.05 and all the way from £21ish. One batch left now.

[buffett100bln] 20/6/2013 15:42

Came true.

The Fed said they'd switch off the tap next year.

[broshm] 12/6/2013 17:31

What about the old adage , sell in May ?

[buffett100bln] 03/6/2013 10:22

I wouldn't bet on a long run up here. For as long as the Fed is printing free money for the banks to buy stocks with, markets will rise.

[2ngh] 23/5/2013 13:42

Looks like we could see a good run up from here as the markets correct.

[broshm] 23/5/2013 11:00

How long will the turnaround continue ?

[shugsy] 22/5/2013 08:11

Dropped under 20....

Can this market run and run?

Where will it stop? 15?

[mali7] 14/5/2013 21:41

Still May and markets up, it will continue to June at least now, follow the trend for now...

[fxscotland] 10/5/2013 08:58

the market can't keep going up and up everyday forever. reversion to the mean, moving averages etc. etc. MARKET WILL PULLBACK. SUK2 WILL RISE again
