It looks like he can see a turn around coming. It does look like it will happen at some point and the American elections will have a part to play in this. These guys must be moving their money around all the time for these big moves. Its obviously a great strategy! The pound isn't exactly doing well either so I wonder how he'll get around this.

He has around 6.5% of his money in US companies not to mention that companies from the UK also operate in the US market, while a small % his fund is almost £7billion which still accounts for a whole lot of money.

He also said he is deciding when to hedge, think the article stretched the story a bit and made it look like bads things are ahead for the US (might be true if Trump gets in).

The crazy bastards has won. Which means gold is benefiting again. Will be interesting to see how the stock market reacts.

Yeah a good day for my gold and silver, reckon my funds will take a bit of a beating though so all events out.

Considering buying the Vanguard 500 in the next day or so if there is a huge over reaction. Nikkei 225 is down over 5%, might be a tracker fund for that too if it drops again tomorrow.

Your funds might have played it well again. There was some good bargains this morning. my watch list Is a sea of red. The only things in the green are gold mining companies...I wonder why Cheeky most of them have recovered.

#PXOG my largest holding started off the day 11% down! It's 3% down now. I'm expecting a big week/month from them.

A nice piece on BitCoin on This website

There is a company called #YOLO who sell something called an electric jukebox. You plug it into your TV and you can stream music on your TV. It costs £169 and I think it's a stupid idea.

But after some research I see the product has just been launched and it's already sold out everywhere. This is before some wel known British celebrities have endorsed it with TV ads coming soon, just in time for Christmas. People have realised this and the share price has been moving steadily up. Currently at 1.5p. I think I'll put a buy order on Monday for some.

I got Altria (MO) @ $23/share .. It's now in the $60+ .. Should I buy more? With marijuana on the brink of legalizing, I'm thinking the stock will jump even higher. Thoughts?

I didn't even know who that company was until I searched them. Turns out I know a lot of their products. You must have been holding these shares for a while if you got in at $20!

I've just had a quick look at their financial statement for 2015. First thing I've noticed, for the last 8 years they have been increasing their dividend payments, which is a good sign. Slightly increasing revenue and profits (not including 2016). The financial statment is 116 pages long so I'm not going to read it all Cheeky

Here is their cash position at a glance:

What makes you think they will be going into the marijuana business? Has it been mentioned before?

Sold them at 14p a while back. I notice they dropped all the way from 24p to around 5p. It's been climbing pretty crazy since. I'm not going to touch them anymore as they seem all over the place.

They caught my eye as they made the front page of HL for most traded shares top 10 they were 2nd and Sirus Minerals were first.

They took another pounding this week and are down to like 7p. Good week for the FTSE and US markets my funds are doing well, going to look into some Latin America and Asia funds to hedge my bets, been looking at the FEET.L and the VT Price Value but that has a 2% ongoing fee which is a little much imo.

Barra you still investing? I added two new funds this month, one was the BT Price Value and the other was a Vanguard Pan Asia tracker. Also topped up on gold and silver earlier in the month.
