Had a small crypto currencies dabble 2 years ago - left it languishing in a crypto wallet, ignored.

Since US election volatile but huge growth

Expect it will crash back at some point

Expect #pension scheme members to be asking for crypto.

For ref stocks ISA has outperformed crypto over 2 yrs.

Such a good chart from the DWP: shows the degree of home bias now vs 2012 in different asset classes to which DC workplace allocations are made.

New here, still in the honeymoon period but finding frustrations...

Is there a simple way to @ people in posts....surely you are not expected to type out entire handle?

With a focus on farmers and IHT, we are missing the much bigger budget IHT change. The pension change will affect 50k estates v 2k for farms and will raise more than twice as much. The pensions / IHT change is seriously bad news for bereaved families, but they are not an organised lobby!

Had a look around the new gaff and pretty impressed so far.

Neighbours a lot less shouty, and in first glance not as weird.

May well still stick around 🏠
