    I had £1000 invested. I just bought another £1000. I'm up 100%!
    I had a small money fire in the back garden of  200 £10 notes, never mind if I get paid £2000 tomorrow - portfolio still flat!

    I took money out of the ISA pot to pay for some building work and a new kitchen - does that mean I'm 20% down to start with since the reverse of new money in is old money out?

    Seriously, there is no point in including earned money in for comparison purposes. Need to go through the hassle of unitization for better still don't compare over a short period at all.

    Yes that would mean you are 20% down. Of course it does. If you take money out of your investments and spend it then your portfolio has diminished by said amount. You can't pretend it's still there.
    Makes for a completely pointless discussion though, as me spending on money on a kitchen is otherwise irrelevant to the performance of my investments. In the same way that earned money for me has little impact on my overall pot whereas for someone else it could be a significant chunk.

    What colour scheme did you go for with the kitchen?
    Card room green and ammonite (both copies not F&B) with cashmere units :)

    Just looked at some examples.  Very nice!

    Would anyone like to venture a suggestion as to what that formation would be called in technical analysis? Especially the DJIA one! :p


    DJIA has turned green.  What did your tea leaves say?
