    What would happen if your savings with them are in ISA? Do you reckon your ISA wrapper would therefore be lost!

    I just spoke to KE.

    They have had more deposits than withdrawals this week.

    I find that very hard to believe.

    I am not saying it is but he shouldn't give out opinions which he is not able to qualify. As I said elsewhere he doesn't know what he is talking about. Do you think Mr Lewis runs this website out of the goodness of his heart! Is he going to get my money for me? No I think not, he runs this website as a business and does very well out of it. I will most certainily not ever use it again.

    Grown-ups don't go stating that their choice of bank or investment being the wrong one, are the fault of one man for recommending it, a man who can't predict the future, and openly states that anyone following advice on this site does so at their own risk and needs to do their own research.

    I assume we are all adults on this web site, all intelligent enough to make up our own minds - given all the advice from here and many other sites/articles....

    No one forced anyone to do anything (as far as I know)....
