    What is the impact of brexit if wanting to retire to Spain? I thought max stay is around 90 days?
    If you have enough savings then you can get residence. Or have property worth £500k I think. Need to get private health care.

    Thankfully would never invest in that. I did so well with my 6 shares in my ISA. Made just shy of 20% since November but sold all on Friday as got spooked by Russia.
    You can't tease us like that! What were you invested in where you made 20% in 3 months when markets have been pretty flat?

    EasyJet. Rio tinto, Vodafone ( got a dividend there too) Barclays. Aviva and AAL

    Only had £1k in VOD and Aviva. 
    £7k in Rio( bought a few times when they were well down)
    £4k in EZY ( again kept topping up when i was well down)
    £4k in AAL ( my best performer)
    £3k in Barc ( again buying more when I was down). 

    Play money?

    All sold the day Biden told Americans to leave the Ukraine. Done well with AAL though, day trading when they were 25p to 27p range.
