    I presume you have other investments as well - as its generally not recommended to have money invested in only one sector.
    Yes, I have thanks. I'd be fairly confident that in 20 years time big mining company shares will be alot higher than they are now.

    p.s. is it too late for me to claim this year's Stocks and Shares ISA allowance? I could open an online account tonight but couldn't deposit any money for a few days when direct debit is set up?

    You can open an ISA account today and fund it by debit card (either online or by telephone depending on the broker) - if you wait for a direct debit to be set up it will be to late.

    If you don't fund the account today, you will lose this tax years ISA allowance.

    If you can't open it with your preferred broker now, open a self select ISA with another company, fund it and then transfer it it slower time (no need to invest the funds in the meantime)

    If you wanted to open/fund an ISA with III (who use/resell a Halifax white label product) call 0845 88 00 267..

    Ok many thanks, it's too late then. I can't fund by debit card as my current account is empty, my money is in an online savings account. No problem, I can relax now tonight. I used up this year's cash ISA allaowance at least

    www.x-o.co.uk don't charge an ISA fee (other than £50+VAT upon closure) and charge £5.95 for each share transaction.
