I've been told you can still pay in as usual as long as you don't draw any income.

And of course to get poly to styrene needs oil in the first place.

Best get cracking on the biomass or we won't have the material for plastic replacements or insulation!

Hemp insulation?....be a nice use of by/waste product when BATS/IMB get into this area of the market.

Would anyone recommend the SIPPs at hl.co.uk as I already have an account there or should I look elsewhere for these specifically?

No, I wouldn't personally.  IMO they were good but have been overtaken and their standards have slipped.

But won't you still get taxed on the other 75% of the full drawdown?

No,because il only drawdown £3k a year on top of my state pension,so thats my tax allowance gone,then £5k to £8k from my ISA.My kids will get whats in the SIPP when i die.Im structured to take £18k a year tax free mostly.PMs and 5 years cash on top.Il never pay income tax again.

Ah, I see...I assume when you said drawdown you were going to empty it down to zero at that point, whereas you will do just as you state [£3k] and avoid the tax via inheritance.

I don't know. I was was emailing my old man a link to EU bail in legislation, and another link to how they had trialled it in Cyprus a couple of years before (when they literally stole cash out of bank accounts of holders over 100k). His response was "if you have it, and they want it, then it's not safe".

You're probably right, but it needs to be watched carefully. Thankfully the law and property rights etc are still very strong in the UK and they will have to tread very carefully.

and @MrXxxx, cash in the bank is most epxosed to forfeiture.Cyrps was a trial run.

WIth bonds it's more the subtle ways govts run soft default politices.

Years ago we went through the issues with shares being held by nominees such that were were technically their assets not ours-we jsut have an entry in the book beside our holding.But that sort of default would be the end of society as we know it.

Much likely,I think they'll tweak laws/rules and force pension funds to buy overrated junk bonds.

key aim for me is to keep as much out of cash & managed ivnestements particualrly bond funds.

Key though is the state pension.The first rule of investing for retirement for me is to have enough to get from where you are to that date.I could live on it if needed fine.The rest is then a calculation about how much you want on top,then bring that forward until they meet with a date.

Iv seen very very few go to early,odd ones who were clueless,but iv seen endless people who went far too late even though they hated work,usually out of fear and adding monthly costs rather than reduce them.

Genuine question,do you ever see a point will suffer the same fate as working age hosueholds-possible default soft or hard?

Same with the bennies?there msut come a point where tehy have to rein themin?

Here is what the government and BOE have done.

Iv just been in Lidl and a very old lady in front of me at the till.She asked the girl on the till if she could tell her when the bill reached £27.23 as thats all she had and she would have to put back anything over that "everything is just going up so much".Got to a few items left and hit her target,she said oh the cheese ,i needed that,no its ok thankyou.

Lovely decent old lady likely only has the pension.

On a brighter note i bought the lady the cheese,i insisted,

That’s the worst and the best thing I have read for ages.

Youre a good man.

I see no chance the state pension would go,or be means tested.I think bennies will start to be cracked down on as soon as the BOE stop QE.How they do it i dont know,but bennies and wages are too close together.However the situation is really bad.It could be around hours,housing benefit etc.

It's another tax on the young because it's them who would have got an inheritance tax free. TPTB don't want them inheriting enough to pay their mortgages off early, they want them working and paying tax until they drop.

Can confirm this. Went back and forth on this point with HL for my mum. She put it into drawdown, took out the tax free bit and as long as no income is drawn from the rest you can still pay in. It comes up as two pots on HL - one is called sipp, the other drawdown

No matter what a person does, if a company wants them to stay overnight then they pay, it most certainly doesn't come out of the workers wages. Fact i'm travelling for 6 hours on my own time pisses me off!

I've just arrived at the hotel and the fuckers aren't paying for my evening meal after all. They will be making 1000s from my duration here, yet they're wanting to save a small sum on the workers food!

First time in 20 odd years of working away this has happened, nothing like pissing off the manual labour before works even begun.

But it shows what those who get their hands dirty are willing to put up with ... and the contempt that office types have for manual labour.

Are they covering the cost of Lube and Condoms? Guessing you can use tax offset regarding lingerie degradation?

Exactly that.The people who worked and have houses to pass on tend to have kids who work as well.The governments no1 priority is keep them working to pay for the freeloaders.HTB is part of that trap as well as is pushing into Uni etc.

The biggest gainers from HPI are boomers children who should also own outright when they inherit.This green agenda smells like its designed to keep people working as well,cant afford cheap cars etc.

Well said.

My sons friend stayed last weekend. His mum is my Clapham Omnibus barrometer.

She knew the costs of a three Uni course. I let her off the missing info on interest rates and assumed she expected their other child to want it..aiming to go higher into higher rate tax.

She didnt know I had talked to her son that weekend on this subject including IHT and politely talking about the incontinence care year costs.

I dont think the barrometer will get it yet. She will I think.

I have no idea if she has saved for the Uni fees although I think she has to a degree.

I dipped in to the faux pas. Mr Amass had been killed thwt afternoon so I brought forward her news on Friday about wider issues with the murderer.

She took it. So I could carry on.

Linked. I had to see a clever lad today. Due for Maths but for issues beyond here, he had to come home after his first month.

I asked of his wider friends and many had stayed at home for local study at Universities in Manchester.

Interestingly, he said a good few were in a "gap year".  I highly doubt they were doing the Grand Tour. So what is the gap year then?

Either waiting it out or..other. Either way, holding back their cash if saved or withholding on taking debt.

A small survey, I know, but I think some people are "sussing" it. Not enough perhaps, but signs are there.

I think for the thread the question is who else gains from long term higher energy costs?.I think i was right on the transports,but lockdowns hammered them,and working from home.Of course producing closer to consumption will matter we know that.

Improved insulation is going to be massive though,so cross market says we go there.

What products have the best thermal conductivity? ie the lowest,,

Polystyrene down to Aerogel.

So i want a company supplying the solutions,maybe under the radar,

 

Cabot Corp ticker CBT fits the bill (i worked in the Chem industry so know what a lot do)

https://www.cabotcorp.com/solutions/applications/construction/building-insulation

Quick balance sheet or COMA score would be good anyone then,then il buy it,start with them.

 

 

I've mentioned on here before about the potential of 'graphene' to disrupt numerous markets. I'm aware that your risk profile is different now from in the past, and most of the companies in the space are still relatively small. However, the UK government are pushing green technology and the GEIC in Manchester is at the heart of new technology. For example, one of the tier 1 partners at the GEIC has recently worked with a company called 'Nationwide Engineering' to develop a material called 'concretene' ... Basically, they add graphene to the concrete mix and it massively improves the performance (no need for steel rebar when laying a floor)and it reduces CO2 by about 30%. They have also recently relaid a road (A1) using traditional methods, but throwing in some graphene to see how much it improves the longevity. 

I mention this here again as graphene has potential in so many 'green' technologies (including as a thermal insulator in aerogels as you mentioned in your post). Personally, I think it will be the material of the future, but as always DYOR.

forgive my stupidity, but is graphene dug, made, or grown?
