LOL

Northern Rock are doing a similar bond that pays 135% of the FTSE over 5 years , 100% protected.

Just like National Savings to ALWAYS be the underdog in terms of rates....

What I say is, has anyone made anything more than say a minimum of 5% per annum compound on these bonds ?

The problem is if we have a 2 year bull then a 3 year bear then you get nothing !

Whereas following up a stock portfolio with a 25% stop from the high will enable you to maximise your return ! Whilst getting dividends on top !

If a bond existed which said that we will carry a stop of 25% from the peak index price where the bond would be liquidated than that would possibily get my funds !

As it is that which gives you true chance to maximise your profits whislt ensuring your not kept in to lose all your gains during any bear market phases.
