Re: TransferWise

Ive tried to set up a CurrencyFair account but Kuwait doesnt seem to exist in their country - perhaps they think the Q8 is a third world sandpit !

Any other suggestions ?

Re: Trading UK Shares as non UK Resident

Re: Stay in DXB or Move back to London

Re: Stay in DXB or Move back to London

As above - but i would recommend boarding schools. Cold showers and buggery before breakfast makes a man (perhaps a horse thrashing) - but those were the golden days (now a days its all touchy feely...

Re: Trading UK Shares as non UK Resident

You only purchase 25% of your total investment (e.g $2,500 out of $10,000) and rebalance monthly/quarterly. You could mix the commodities allocation with silver (using a ratio) but it still requires...

Interactive brokers is the way to go - dont use the lite version it is simply crap and the fees arent worth it especially if you day trade !

Re: New Baby/ passport

That was a quote for the UK average - I wouldnt have a inkling on the pricings for rugrats in UAE. Shame we had to outlaw using sprogs as chimney sweeps !

Re: Global Corona Death predictions

Scamp hit the nail on the head (as well as MillHouse). For the vast majority of (healthy) people CV is no worse than the flu.

The number of deaths will increase (i have a spread on 1.8m - 2.2m)...

Re: Post-Lockdown

Yep - i doubt that there is any efficacy in this 'vaccine' . Its just to keep a population from facing/accepting the real problems.
