    So what about 1988 or 1998?

    1988: End of MIRAS double relief, boom and bust until 1992.

    1998: Dotcom bubble burst a bit late around 2000.

    It's like September is hurricane season in Cuba, but you can't demand it must happen in September.

    I was talking to a Japanese tenant around 2008, they say they get a big earth quake every one hundred years, in Japan, and they are probably safer in England as it's due. As soon as they gave notice to leave in 2010, Fukushima happened. I said why don't you stay longer, but everything is in a container on its way back to Tokyo already. :eek:

    If it happened on the dot like high tide, it would be a scientific fact.
    And then traders would exploit it out of existence.
    I call it religion precisely because it requires a leap of faith.

    making sure that I don't exceed the £1000 a year interest.
    Why?
    The £1000 is still within your allowance and protected if you make more.
    It just means the excess may be liable for tax.

    £1000 tax-free = £1000
    £2000 after tax= £1800*

    * [£1000 tax-free plus the other £1000 (less 20% basic rate tax)].
    2016 : Realised £103,000.00 savings (banked)
    2017 : Realised £97,000.00 savings (banked)
    2018 : Realised £ savings (banked)

    20.4% avg annual portfolio growth since 2004.

    Retired 17:30 hrs, Friday 30th September 2016, aged 56, and luvvin' it!!

    Your religion is right, you're forgetting the Russian financial crisis of 1998

    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
