    Ok, I see what you mean. You are looking at the whole data and effectively regressing it all.

    The UK Politics & Brexit Thread

    I didn't say the science was showing a downward trend, merely that the graph was. I have no theory. I just see a line starting to turn down. You are the one that seems to think a line turning down is not a decline! All the comment you make above is just speculation. I'm happy if its a blip and...

    DrNick said: Life expectancy is also falling according to a report published today. Looks to me like the trend has turned downwards. Happy to see some evidence as to why you think this is not a downward trend. I haven't done the research so could well be wrong, but your statement seems to...

    I said there were loads of caveats. Not having enough spare cash being one of them. You can choose to pay more in later if you want. The whole thing is full of unknowns.

    Take your age, divide it by 2 and that's the percentage you should be putting into a pension. Loads of caveats but as a ball park figure its a good place to start. Includes company contributions.

    It will be solved (partially at least) by the move to Personal Pension Plans. As more people actually start to pay into pensions (which ARE actually a pot of ringfenced money - in principle anyway) there will be more scope for financial shenanigans on the state pension as it moves to be a...

    Gifting shares to grandchildren

    I agree a12 month measure isn't particularly useful, but it is available and shows a general trend. However, it can change overnight as some of these shares have done. BOOM has dropped 6% today so far but has risen more than that over the last few months as an example. Any trends are not that...

    As I say, its not the complete list. I don't think Yu has been discussed for a year yet - it was certainly a later addition and I haven't been religious in tracking them all. Likewise the fizzy drink company. There may be others. Feel free to correct any omissions!

    Here's a 1 year summary of some of the shares mentioned on here over the last 12 months. Not all of them but a good chunk. I'm making no comment other than its all in the timing.

    Good point. If he wants digital he can buy it himself. It would be mechanical, and I think he'd like mechanical anyway. I don't want to force too many of my opinions and bias the outcome but people are right, I'm going to have to constrain it a bit. As we are not in the realms of high end...
