Thanks, Dannie.

 

 

Generally spoken, people do invest long term rather than trade in Investment or Unit trusts, I think.

 

Traders would tend to use shares as these have to be readily available and they need to get in and out quickly, sometimes in a split second, so to speak.

 

Many traders tend to move into " situation " stocks as well and I did notice that others concentrate on smaller priced stocks.

 

There is space for the Challenger endowment warrants;again, these are for long term investment. As with all investments, pros and cons apply here as well.

 

As you say, trading is taxable and that applies to these financial instruments.

 

Must leave you there, I am afraid, I tend to cover several topics, the one discussed, is only one of them.

 

There are contributors who may wish to carry on from here!

 

Thanks for your participation,

 

Gerry
