Cheapest global tracker through iWeb?

Sites like Monevator are super useful but the rates on iWeb always seem to differ.
On a number of occasions, I've seen the rate on iWeb different from what appears in the factsheet. Perhaps they haven't got around to updating a fund quickly enough. Always open the factsheet and check the rate, and raise it with iWeb if their system shows something different.0 -
Thanks! In the past I've gone for funds over ETFs, but I'll look up the difference now (I don't think there are many differences other than ETF trading is instant) and probably go with VWRL then“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” --Upton Sinclair0

Is it a good ides to buy Samsung Share ??
Caesar. Ha! who calls?
Casca. Bid every noise be still: peace yet again!
Caesar. Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.
Soothsayer. Beware the ides of March.
Caesar. What man is that?
Brutus. A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
Caesar. Set him before me; let me see his face.
Cassius. Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.
Caesar. What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.
Soothsayer. Beware the ides of March.
Caesar. He is a dreamer; let us leave him0 -

Ahahaha.
It seems the share price is falling now due to Samsung Note 7 case. Samsung is a global brand selling what many people need nowadays. It is a very good chance it will bounce back again.
So what could possibly go wrong ?0 -

Not a bad pun, possibly overly long, but you can't go wrong with a bit of Shakespeare.

Well the comoany could go bust and you could lose your money.
Or slightly less dramatically, but far more probably, Samsung could be the next Nokia or rim, meaning your investment is worth a fraction in years to come.
Or it could bounce back and give you huge profits.0 -
Adindas, Surely the answer is that right now exactly as many people think it is a good idea to buy Samsung shares, as think it is a good idea to sell Samsung shares. All that changes is the price upon which they agree. That's the basis of a free market.
I'm wondering why would you buy just one share though? Novelty gift?
And as we are going waaaay off topic, what is the best time of year to prune apple trees?0 -
Just spent 2 hours reading up on ETFs.
Since most are priced in USDs I presume since I will be buying in £
I have in effect lost 20% in the last 4 months.
Would I be better buying a Sterling listed ETF?
Thank you.0 -
Metrobus I don't think it works like that.
Whether your ETF is valued in USD or GBP, it holds the same underlying assets. Which have become 20% more expensive in GBP since the devaluation event.
Say you could find an ETF which was hedged against currency movement, and priced in GBP. Would you risk buying it now, or would that be shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted?
My personal view is that this may not be a good time to use British Pounds to invest in (a) assets generally and (b) world stock markets. Because the pound is low and stock markets are high. Putting (half of) my money where my mouth is, last week I sold half of my VWRL & am now sitting on 60% cash. But I guess only time will tell if this was a good move, or whether the pound will continue to fall and markets continue to rise.0
