Bespoke for resale page (v2.00)

http://isassociates.co.uk/ISAssoc/BespokeReSale.aspx

We can develop software that you can sell under your own name without anyone knowing that you didnt write it. It can be anything from a commercial database system to real time embedded assembler. For start-ups and non IT businesses. This can be particularly suitable for a small or a start-up business that has a software requirement but the founders are not software people. Just for the sake of clarity, a clone of Group On, Trip Advisor, Facebook etc is not a good idea. Servers by WebWiz.co.uk.

Succesful Mondays

http://www.beginnerssharedealing.co.uk/GoodMondays.aspx

I've done well on a Monday so let's hold for more. Very occassionally you will buy a share on a Monday morning and achieve you 6% target by the end of the day, although it doesn't happen often unfortunately. This is the start of the week, so why would I sell now? When you bought the share you had a target sell price, why has that target price become wrong because it has been achieved sooner than you expected? Time And Expected Returns. Why Investment Amount Matters. Holding - Short Term. The Next Big Drop.

ISAs

http://www.beginnerssharedealing.co.uk/ISA.aspx

Pretty much every UK tax payer is allowed an ISA, this can be a Cash ISA or Share Dealing ISA and each year up to about 15K can be added to it. The big advantage of a Shares ISA is that capital gains are not subject to Capital Gains Tax, however this is irrelevant if you don't expect to make more than the exempt amount which is about 11K per year. This makes them very easy targets for a government cash grab and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a government change the rules and apply a tax at the tim...

Taking A Profit

http://www.beginnerssharedealing.co.uk/TakingAProfit.aspx

Taking A Profit Or Loss. If the point of buying shares is to make a profit, then you must sell them to actually have a profit. This sounds obvious but it is much harder to do than it is to say. There are temptations to hold on a bit longer as the price is still rising, or is about to recover. Excel says that another 10% rise and I can buy a Gold Rolex! When you purchase a share you should decide on sell criteria and then stick to them, typically based on three rules. Sell at a certain loss. It is hard to...

Long Term Holding

http://www.beginnerssharedealing.co.uk/LongTermHold.aspx

Why Long Term Holding May Not Be Appropriate. The traditional view is that shares should be bought and held for a number of years, this is so well known that the internet should be full of papers justifying this. Surprisingly if you try and find the research that led to this conclusion you will come up empty handed. I suspect that that people are looking at what works well for institutional investors and have assumed that it also applies to retail investors. As an example take Yellow Pages (Yell/Hibu ), ...

Short Term Holding

http://www.beginnerssharedealing.co.uk/ShortTermHolding.aspx

Why Short Term Holding May Be Appropriate. The primary aim of short term holding of shares is to reduce the risk that you are holding a share when bad news is announced unexpectedly. The downside is that trading this frequently can be quite time consuming but financial independence is never going to be easy. Having found these companies you then sacrifice possible larger long term gains in exchange for exposing yourself to that company for as short a period of time as possible. What is surprising is the ...

The next big drop

http://www.beginnerssharedealing.co.uk/TheNextBigDrop.aspx

The Next Big Drop. Looking at the history of stock markets one thing is very clear; there is going to be a big drop in share prices sometime in the future. What is unclear is how big the drop will be and how long prices will remain depressed. As we know that there is going to be a big drop and that we can not predict when it will occur,we should plan for it. Of course not being in banks wouldn't have helped you, your shares would still be down to 20% of what they were worth, so you need to be able to wai...
