"British stocks are at their lowest valuation for 30 years compared with their overseas counterparts"
Indeed, I am very patient but the stock market may continue to be irrational for some considerable time yet.
Now, how do I get the stock market to rise 50%, so I can convert all my stocks into bonds and live happily ever after?

Good morning.
Sitting here looking at LLOY in astonishment. I really never thought I'd see it starting with 57 ever again.

Today I am shredding contract notes from 2000-2002. The days when they got posted to you and trades cost between £12 and £20.
My portfolio had some pretty scary stuff in it then. Who remembers Tadpole Technology, Thus, GTL, Paladin Resources, Chorion?
I see I managed to make a considerable sum on Jarvis. Bust now of course. And what of Cenes, Reflec, Courts, Minmet and other crap I held at the time.
I had some decent stuff too, all of which I sold of course. I have a contract note here showing I sold 10,500 GFRD at 27.5p, having bought them at 20.4p. The long term chart shows a big gap up in 2009 so I assume that was a share split. Who knows. They are £10 now.

The majority who live learn as they travel.
Hopefully, not repeating to often their own mistake or those made by others.
Would you like to buy a few of my old contract notes?
Some going very cheap.
