Hi, Just wondering are IO products gone from the market now | is any bank suppling them? Thanks.

Dublin66 I have been led to believe by a taxation adviser this is legal and a lot more widespread than person's believe. The core issue at hand is that whether this qualifies as your offshore income in which case it is to be constructed as taxable onshore. There is nothing to suggest i am...

Hmm In getting into a similar position myself but am thinking the only way to do this effectively with compounding the initial funding correctly is the following. I am sure other poster's will not think this is ethical etc however many corporations are doing similar to this. Company in...

Hi, I was wondering what are the taxation implications for investing in an offshore company from own company ? Id like to make an investment to the tune of around 40k yearly to an offshore company but do not know where to start etc etc. What is the taxation impact of this and any pitfalls...

Martingale keep doubling until u win the only issue is money is a finite resource and they finitly cap your earnings. In this case dont complicate use red and black. Funnily enough i have never been too a paddy power shop weird huh ? The strategy is soundish for diversifcation component of a...

I do agree with a lot of the points from all posters but i digress on some! "I don’t understand your martingale point about roulette. If you are suggesting doubling your bet in the expectation of eventual pay out, the existence of white (and double white on some wheels) plus table maximum...

Well i looked at the brochure and believe some of it has merit. It has plenty of exposure for 1 thing! However some major issue's in this that i see is that either they are using the VIX Volatility Index or the deviation of prices to control whether its risk on or risk off. As we all know and...

I find that interesting the CPC ban backtesting nice information! Thats interesting... " We are presented here with what looks like a very plausible and sophisticated strategy to beat the markets. It is like a system for winning at roulette. No such system exists and no such investment...

In fairness my 2 failing strategies were due to my own naievty there isnt enough volume on oats in 1 case and just not enough testing in the second scenario! We will see after two years live on the other 3 strategies. 14 months only at present. If your interested on a book that shows some...

strategies sometimes just dont work thats why it was eddison who said he found a million ways not to make a lightbulb or something like that! Look try this link for a list of funds that probably have outsized returns versus buy and hold maybe they are the poster children or maybe we...

they wont launch unless they have two years of live results (you can pick through these results by looking at what they have etc.) much better a backtest than a buy and hope!

If you did some research you would see that there are investors who make outsized returns. In fact the decent ones make / take all the money. I think you dont understand what i meant when i termed winner and loser. If i bet 1K USD at what i believe is 50/50 to win 2K then my winner is twice...

A good stethescope when looking at a fund manager is what the sharpe / sortino and calmer ratios are. Would anyone get funded based on not 2 consecutive years of live trading history, no they would'nt (even though in this case this fund has not been live for long). If i was looking for a fund...

Buy and hold strategy for t-bills yes an average investor seems much better off with this (historically speaking). Then again who wants average or a C- grade on there paper. Average probably means just below inflation returns. Buy and hold in terms of equity markets no way! we agree in some...

I agree the wording is incredulous on the package etc ! However i find some of the displayed comments here even more incredulous. "So, by the same token, 5 years of performance for a fund manager isn’t sufficient time for us to say with a high enough degree of confidence that here is the...

Hi, I am about to recieve some monies approx 200k and am looking at buying something in ireland around 300k with a view to build up some rental income. As i understand it some tax relief can occur on the interest portion of the mortgage, however i dont see the exact taxation rates etc...

Yes they state its 20k but thats not true a few months ago they changed this down too 5k. They also changed withdrawel from bank account abroad (europe) down too 500 from 700. Its a classic sign off a bank with liquidity issues but the 5k has been happening since the start off the year.

BOI used to allow 20k transfer from there online banking account now only 5k even though it says 20k on the screen!

+1 to elder and +1 to link. I use Ninjatrader.

well in argentina they frooze the citizens accounts and changed all dollars (even if different currency) divided by 3 on top off that they implemented a 30% tax... bottom line dont keep money in irish banks...
