TheCountOfNowhere Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 He founded the firm after beginning his career in the City in 1985 as a derivatives trader, where he attempted to use his other title, Viscount Dangan. He reverted to Graham Wellesley after complaining that fellow traders called him 'Lord Dagenham' after the town in Essex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainb Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Sigh. This whole thing is very depressing. Post pension liberalisation the con is: Mr muggins has a final salary pension from British steel after working 40 years. Pays 25k per annum index linked. Mr muggins gets a cold call from Dodgy IFA. Dodgy IFA says your cash in price of your pension is £900k. I can get you an bond paying 8% you won't get 25k a year you will get £80k!!! Mr Muggins does it. £800k goes on dodgy bonds. £160k goes on a management fee to dodgy IFA sorry marketing fee not bribe. Net of £640k goes to Dodgy Bond for corporate purposes. Dodgy bond directors may or may not pay the coupon on the bond, but rape the cash taking out huge salaries, buying their mates cars for an up lift etc etc until there is non left. Dodgy bond Co collapses. Dodgy IFA dissapesrs. Net impact is. Mr miggins has worked a lifetime for naff all. Dodgy IFA gets huge fees. Dodgy bond directors steal the rest. Look up LCF as a well published example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunketh Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I had a ratesetter IF ISA until the early part of this year. I decided that it was potentially very risky when I saw covid on the horizon. Shame I didnt have the same good sense to migrate to cash in the pension fund, then buy back in low. As an aside, it took nearly a full month to get my money out of the Ratesetter ISA (normally 1-2 days), it was a little concerning and worth bearing in mind if you think a fast bail out is possible.

iamnumerate Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 If a deals too good to be true... 20 years ago the idea that 4% is too good to be true would have been crazy. Well done Gordon Brown for screwing up the economy so much that interest rates drop to near zero. (I know the Tories are incompetent but it is hard to see how they could have got back to normal by 2014). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody seeking financial independence ( an honourable aim in my book) is forced to take more and more risks due to BOE policy (BTL being one of the least risky options). It is disgusting that showing prudence results in crooked financiers milking the system behind the cloak of of FCA diligence.

Very true a friend owns a flat that he rents out (no mortgage) - like time I spoke to him, I suggested selling and he said "What would I do with the money?". It is called a dash for trash!

msi Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 It is called a dash for trash! part of the 'crack up boom' I saw the ad for this and was 'encouraged' by a few aquaintances to push into P2P. Caveat Emptor; I hope they all get burned. This isn't petty jealously, it's the insidious perception of 'you can't loose' - the whole point of capitalism is that you DO lose sometimes. We are in a 'Great Power' world, where the elites think they are immune to the laws of nature and the wisdom of the crowsds. So did the Russian Czars, French Royalty, German Aristocracy, British Imperialists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is disgusting that showing prudence results in crooked financiers milking the system behind the cloak of of FCA diligence. Or, after 2008 where people with too much debt caused a bit of a pickle in the financial system, an environment (low IRs) was created which ensured debt was nice and cheap and popular. Unbefeckinglievable. but they could never have foreseen the problems that we can foresee just around the corner. I'm 'happy' only losing 1% a year on the majority of my cash savings. Is rising to losing about 1.2% soon, but I can't beat the system, just others playing it. Hopefully the long Oil/PM/Crypto, short FTSE & GBP part of the strategy will prove that a 1.2% loss on cash per year is immaterial in the grand scheme of things. Specialist Property Bonds? I don't think so 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, this is "the whole point of capitalism" No. If any asset class is priced beyond affordability it will suffer a correction towards affordability. People that put too much capital get wiped out and become a lesson for the future. What we have is prop after prop thrown to keep HPI going - the antithesis of capitalism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
