    Finance update, regularly check in with them

    Global equity markets are continuing to march higher on the back of the roll out of the Covid vaccine, hopes of further stimulus measures, and the recovering of companies and economies. This euphoria is being tempered by rising Covid cases in particular in the US, following the Thanksgiving holiday. The near term outlook remains difficult to call and a small sell off would not be a big surprise but the longer term outlook remains positive for equity investing.

    Your SIPP is doing well showing a gain in value of 7.7% since the beginning of the calendar year.

    The last trades that were carried out on your portfolio were done in late November with the inclusion of the student accommodation fund, which had seen its price severely affected by Covid19 and I also increased the holding of BNY Mellon Global Dynamic Bond fund, which is in the portfolio for its conservative characteristics.

    I followed up with Cricinfo as I had not heard anything, this was the response and my reply.

    Hello Michael,

    The couple of errors you’ve mentioned will be corrected. Re the checking service, I’ll let you know if we need the services. Thanks for the offer though.

    Regards

    Rajesh

    My response

    Hello S Rajesh

    Thank you for the email and update.

    I’m now up to 165 matches with at least one error, some may trivial, but they are still mistakes, even in the finished 1st test New Zealand v West Indies I have found some. 🙁

    Just to let you know a new customer service VP where I used to work, said I scared her, as she had never met anyone with such eye for detailed, but loved it that I could check her work before it went out to the team.

    I’m just trying to offer a service to keep cricinfo the number 1 cricket website in the world 🙂

    Regards

    Michael

    Whilst out walking, I see someone, who I thought was someone I knew when I was a teenager, I then felt embarrassed after calling out, as it wasn’t, but an actor called Tony Clay. He was great to talk too about various things. A genuine guy and down to earth.

    Another conversation with Hon Brokenshire, it’s no wonder cases continue to rise and people dying. You have to login as always to see.
