Julian/IM, great to hear the “ESG/sustainable” and the “opportunities“ are now split.
I’m assuming PH opportunities stocks are still fitting under the umbrella of ‘sustainable’ in ethos, but not necessarily strict ESG rules as they currently stand.
I like the idea of picking for the sustainability ethos, rather than the needing to meet the regulatory side of things, while the regulations are fluid and ESG becomes a hot box to tick for businesses otherwise not really involved in world changing/innovation.

I noticed its a red day across a lot of things, just wondered if it was something causing it or just one of those days.
Mind you, EJ made a bit of a recovery, but not as much as Google finance (occasionally goes weird at the end of the day) would have you believe - that shows its suddenly up 1.68% which is not the case, its actually down 0.58% on the day.

It's a couple of things. Futures and Options (Quadruple Witching) expiry today which always causes significant volatility+persistent inflationary concerns. However a sign just how batsMind you, EJ made a bit of a recovery, but not as much as Google finance (occasionally goes weird at the end of the day) would have you believe - that shows its suddenly up 1.68% which is not the case, its actually down 0.58% on the day.
t crazy the market is currently. The indices tanked intraday 2 days ago on the Fed interest rate hike (bringing it fwd) then immediately shrugged it off. Burwood said:

futures and option markets have expiry and delivery so certain futures require physical delivery (buying required). Option sellers will be holding the underlying stock e.g.. Facebook to cover the option and on expiry, say if the option is out of the money then the holder can sell it as they don't need it to satisfy the option contract.

When the market drops like it did today I just think it makes my next isa/pension contribution purchase more….
That is absolutely true. There are two types of investors with a bit of blurring in between. Monthly contributors and lump sum. Choppy markets impacts them differently. In next couple of weeks( not sure when to get in ) , has anyone got an opinion where to invest modest sum ( large for me ) ?
Money is cash for something that might be bought in a year , but would not HAVE to cash out if the markets were a mess but it would be nice to be in something not bat S..t adventurous .
Right now I might go mad on 20% worth in a couple of shares I have always followed in an industry I understand ( via my IG account ) , and the remaining 80pc split 50/50 in PHE and Optimum Cautious that I already hold with our good friends at IM.
Opinions and ideas very welcome ?
