You'll have to pay custody charges as well. A bond fund will not charge you 2% fees, if you invest via a money supermarket. I use BestInvest, and these are the two junk bond funds I hold https://select.bestinvest.co.uk/fund-factsheets/threhyb/threadneedle-high-yield-bond-c1/overview https://select.bestinvest.co.uk/fund-factsheets/gfemu/investec-monthly-high-income-a/overview The first one has no initial charge, 1.44% expense ratio and yields 6.1% Second one has no initial charge, 1.36% expense ratio and yields 5.6% With the funds you get the same yield, better risk control and lower expenses - plus it is less hassle to buy and sell. Your choice!

Get a low cost bond fund. It will save you money as dealing charges will eat into your capital but dealing in such small blocks. Also a bond fund will be much less risky as they own dozens if not hundreds of bonds. If one defaults, it is a small fraction of the portfolio. If you buy 10 bonds yourself and something unexpected happens and one defaults that's a 10% hit to your capital right there. To get 6% yield you will be investing at the riskier end of the spectrum, probably in the junk space. Personally I have been selling down my "high yield" funds and buying equities for the past few months. Qualification: professional fund manager, running over half a billion dollars in equities.

Would post a lot more if ****s like Turkish were banned.

My question: do we have a sell on clause? Let's hope so!

For everyone pleading for that stupid POL PM, it has already been posted http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?14620-Pompey-Takeover-Saga&p=1626534#post1626534

Good point, I thought exactly the same. Hope nobody gets out'ed due to this!

The admin can see your IP address every time you login to the board. You don't have to post to reveal it to them.

Please someone share with us the tantrums from the inbreds over on POL... anything from our best mate Corp Ho? This is ****ing hilarious.

Brilliant!

So long Nigel and thanks for all you have done for us.

30 years of my life supporting Southampton. Even Rupert Lowe wasn't this ****ing stupid. Not sure if I will be able to go on giving a **** about a club run in this fashion Nigel Adkins - Southampton hero.

Now 50% lower at 0.75.

Can't find Range Resources, but I notice Red Emperor Resources is trading at 3.63p now. I think this thread shows you shouldn't take share tips online.

Ouch - at 174p today so still sitting on a huge loss. This is why individual investors are better off with funds, not single stocks

With HMV shares at 2p, I couldn't help think of the old idiot dune. Hope he lost a lot of money!

Last one right? You are so full of it - put up or shut up.

Got some links on why you think it is illegal?

You could have just written 1. Yes, I was making it up for attention Would have been shorter and clearer.

What, something that has been widely reported for weeks? I don't think so.

Any updates on your ballcocks from 6th Nov Phil http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?14620-Pompey-Takeover-Saga&p=1518681#post1518681 I remember you said Tomorrow has been and gone, in fact a week has been and gone.... and you're still posting your oblique BS posts pretending to know something while never actually revealing anything. Can you put up or shut up?

More attention seeking I see! Put up or shut up?

Why don't you post it up with the proviso it's unsubstantiated and from a single source? Or just keep quiet? This secret squirrel nonsense is school child stuff "I'm got a secret but I'm not telling yoooou". Just screams of attention seeking behaviour and benefits nobody.

At least both Saints and Poopey have their fair share of wannabe ITK'ers pretending they have some insider knowledge eh Phil? Actually, some people fulfil that role for both clubs!

If Cortese appoints Redknapp, the club is dead to me until they both leave.

I did five years in Japan, still got a Japanese wife and child. It's great - I loved it and hope to go back to live one day. Pro's: safe, clean, everyone is very polite, everything works flawlessly, food is good, easy to travel within Japan. And the girls are beautiful. Con's: expensive (still), isolated geographically, Japanese is hard to learn Your experiences to some extent will depend on your salary - an English teacher making 200k yen/month isn't going to lead an extravagant life but a corporate expat deal with housing allowance, health insurance, flights home etc will see a different aspect of Japan. Where you are stationed is obviously key too - Tokyo vs Hokkaido is a similar comparison to London vs. Perth in Scotland.
