My Portfolio's looking pretty pukka as the moment.

How do you invest an imaginary payment?

surely most people have a portfolio of some sort
although for most it just happens to be random numbers on a pension statement that no one really looks at
and if they did they would cry about the fact that in recent years half the time they've been paying someone to lose their money

I must be a complete Dork then! I predicted 7,250 to 7,500 on Hamish's 2014 prediction thread.:rotfl:

The only thing I look pretty well correct on, were House prices.;)

In early October I created a poll on the savings and investment board for where the ftse 100 would be on Xmas day. I went for the 6,700 to 6,849 band, the winning band was 6,550 to 6,999 so I too was a bit over optimistic:

I'll be doing an Easter one soon, but I'll close the poll at the end of January, I left the Xmas poll open too long (it was my first poll and made a schoolboy error).

The BBC believe it s likely to happen in 2015 apparently

We are also warned index funds that use derivatives do not always pay dividends to investors

But not all tracker funds pay dividends.

Some are "synthetic" trackers, which use derivatives to make sure investors benefit - or lose - to the same degree as the index itself.

James Maltin, the investment director at Rathbone Investment Management, says some of these do not pay dividends

Forgive me if I am wrong but I have read that almost all index funds (AND actively managed funds to some extent) use some derivatives - I always assumed from a quality provider like vanguard or fidelity or whoever we would infact be getting the benefit of dividends still in some way and the fund would be tracking the total return index not just the nominal value?

5000 maybe once this global QE inflated bubble bursts.

The same way the HPCs pretend they have made thousands every time there is a dip, whilst they count out the months rent for the LL
