I suppose you are using a 3x to reduce the stake in it? Just had a look at March 2020. The ETN went from £10 to near £28 almost tripling your money, while the FTSE dipped from about 7.5k to 5k losing a third.

  

Yes exactly after back testing my portfolio against that I found that to be the closest delta hedge for my UK stocks. It depends a lot on how diversified your portfolio is, it wouldn't work well if you only had a couple of growth stocks for example.

Let us know when you buy then sell, timing looks all important on that one!

A couple of posts upthread I mentioned a VIX range of 14-16 as a proxy to trigger the buy. As the hedge is essentially a volatility play the lower the VIX the cheaper the cost of insurance so that’s what I have to use in the absence of the FTSE 100 VIX which has been discontinued.

The beauty for me of the ETN as opposed to options / spread bet is the one off cost vs the rolling over / transaction cost / margin management of the other methods net of the custody fee for this particular ETN if your custodian charges one.

I will post once I’ve done it. If we get any sort of melt up we should see 14 VIX easily.

RT documentaries did a hatchet piece on mosaic possibly being associated with increased cancers in florida recently (trying to choose my words carefully). Both up 200 odd percent for me.
 

I was switching between the TV channels the other day, and caught a bit of that RT hit piece documentary - I was meaning to make a post about it on here but never got around to it 

They were saying that the tailings and effluent from the Potash mines contains elevated levels of Uranium - upon hearing that my immediate thoughts were "what a waste, they could be selling that!"

True, there never seems to be much downside when it hits around that. I do keep an eye on it

But no, some bright spark saw all the waste lying around and thought it would be a good idea to grind it up and use it as ground cover in childrens playgrounds!

Just the normal tax relief you get on pension contributions.My partner got £4k of divs last year in her ISA.She pulled them out and put them in her SIPP and got £1k added from the government.She is going to jack in at 56 so has 11 or 12 years where she can pull £16700 a year tax free from her pension.She will empty it over those years and allow the ISA to build then and at 68 then kick her employer pension in and her state pension and her ISA divis.

Bit confused here...I though if you kept the Divis inside an Isa they are tax free anyway OR is the tax taken off the divi BEFORE it is paid [into the ISA]?

They’re tax free. You can with HL set up your ISA so that all dividends are paid out into a bank account.

DB’s cunning plan is to then take those dividends and pay them into a SIPP against your income allowance and thus get a 25% uplift by having the effective income tax added back i.e. receive £1,000 in dividends in your ISA. Have this paid out into a bank account. Pay into a SIPP and get a £250 top up.

Is there a contrarian play going long ARKK coming up? Halved in the last year. If there is a pullback in US inflation will it have its final day in the sun?

One of the main instigator organisations is called ‘Common Purpose’ and it’s been injected into all major institutions at the top to steer direction at the root level.

This has happened in all sectors from Home Office and civil service to the legislative/court sectors to the police and emergency services.

They provide ‘fast stream’ initiatives to get key scheme members in positions of influence. (I know this because I’ve witnessed it first hand, as have colleagues elsewhere in the country)

China buying influence in UK private schools

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9282617/amp/British-private-institutions-bought-Chinese-firms.html

Basically whilst the government has been making sure ever more props in place to keep everybody busy on how much their houses were worth and how many more they could buy, the roadmap ahead has been cemented in.

You see China won without ever firing a shot. It used the West’s own greed and economic decimation by feeding off its younger generation against them, they’ll have no land, ownership, wealth or pensions.

Reliance on UBI government handouts combined with AI and automation will be their only option in a form of communism dressed as socialism but in reality, neo-feudalism.

What have her away do you think?

£2000 of the dividends are tax free anyway (UK), due to the allowance. Whether they are in an ISA or not.

Harmony Gold have more Uranium on their tailings than most Uranium companies have in their mines.Once the price goes they will rework filter them.

It's matching his updated forecast perfectly to be fair, and silver seems to have a floor at $23...

They are tax free,but if you then take them out and put the money into a SIPP you then get 20% free added by the government up to your taxable earnings amount.My partner can take out £16700 a year tax free from 55 to 68 so is stuffing everything she can in her SIPP to get all the tax relief because she will get it all back out tax free.

A £1000 divi from BAT in your ISA would buy £1000 more BAT shares,transfer that £1000 out into your bank,then pay it into your SIPP the government adds £250 so in your SIPP you can now buy £1250 worth of BAT.

Yes,but take them out then pay them into your SIPP you get another £500 added on from the government.You can have your divis tax free and then add them into your SIPP and get another 20% for free.
