    Since I read the OP yesterday evening I've been outside with my head torch on counting every single blade of grass in my front garden, as because we all know by now, counting less than all of them would be a complete waste of time.

    I'm too shagged out for biscuits, I'm off to bed. :(

    You could have simply posted "Look at how much money I have" but I guess that would have been a little crass and in poor taste.

    I've just used up my full ISA allowance, when you get to a largish portfolio, it's meaningless to buy in anything less than £10k in my case because it would be such a small single digit percentage of my total sum. So i only invested in two equities.

    I'm sure many of you have the same problem. Makes drip feeding a complete waste of time.

    Do you use an IFA to help you manage your vast wealth?

    I wouldn't enjoy being capitalOne's IFA but full credit to him for being such a good sport while we mercilessly mock his post.

    He doesn't need to because each £10,000 that he invests badly is such a small percentage of the overall portfolio that it's not worth spending money or time to get any assistance.

    Thanks - I've just advised my butler and chauffeur to do the same. ;)

    Hopefully as well as paying well you have told them what to invest in or it will not be worth their time bothering

    I'm sure it was an oversight, but you must mean butlerS and chauffeurS, yes? It would be a waste only having one of each!

    I just pay upfront and buy gentrified slaves. Drip feeding salaries to servant employees is frankly meaningless to me.

    I assume all domestic staff were told to report to the Great Hall where they were all addressed at once. To drip feed the conversation, informing each employee at once would be a complete waste of time, each employee being such a small percentage of the total workforce.
