Hard to know mate, I’ve a few pound tied up in a similar share… It gained slightly. Might cash it in and buy a few maiden heifers.

Carnage again today. Everything off 3%+
Lower oil would seem to be the main issue.
I’ve noticed a direct correlation between you getting a car and the price of oil falling. I think you’ve been manipulating the markets just so you can pay less for petrol.
Smashed expectations again last night.

Good call. They certainly appear the best of breed in their space and the best equipped to withstand this downturn. They are also following in Apple’s footsteps in terms of smart moves like their investment plan in Ireland.
Markets entering psychotic phase. VIX jumped fucking 30% Wednesday AM and then later in the day was slammed back to its opening value. There is some mad scrambling going on behind the scenes. 3 consecutive quarters now of declining year on year earnings for S&P 500 companies, two consecutive quarters historically results in at least a 20% market decline so we could have another nasty leg down in the near future.
LinkedIn down over 40%, the perils of owning individual stocks.
I was conducting an interview today. The interviewee quoted items from my own linked-in profile as a comparative for their own career. An awkward moment…
Was that in the strengths and weaknesses part?
Ah skip the formula, give them enough time to talk and get their points across without having to lead them
Good fuck, my superannuation is taking a battering.
I’ve forgotten my password to check mine. You’ll have access to yours soon enough?
LOL. 20 years hopefully mate.
I’m actually looking at significantly increasing my salary contribution to it in the next year, well above the current compulsory amount.
I’m taken aback that you have forgotten your password. You should be checking it on a regular basis, no point in being apathetic in these matters.
I should. I will rectify this issue tomorrow.
Would you not be safer putting any additional contributions straight into a high interest savings account? Unless your employer matches any contribution? There seems to be an awful lot of taxes and fees siphoned out of mine last time I checked.
High interest? Where the fuck does one find anything high interest now? I feel better with it going into a high growth fund, given the timeline I’m looking at. Closer to retirement I’ll start moving portions of it into less volatile funds, but for now, with a 20-25 year timeline, there’s no point in being anything but aggressive.
The tax is the same for everyone and it’s a lot more efficient putting it into super than take home, though that will eventually come under pressure and super contributions will be taxed more progressively soon.
As for the fees, that’s where you need to pay attention. I’ve had instances in the past where a super fund has started taking out things like life assurance and income protection, even though I hadn’t signed up for them and have those policies elsewhere. In one case when I pointed this out and had the money refunded back into the account, the super fund came back to me with a much better deal for income protection. It pays to keep them on their toes and questions any fees.
