I just want to know what kind of academics can afford to pay you!

All good mate, currently having a week away in Krakow. It's just nice to get away from the rat race for a bit.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent monthly/quarterly publication so I can have a look at the performances of millions of unit trusts etc over 1,3,5 , 10 years etc.
I used to get What Investment sent to me every now and then but it's ceased publication and I'm looking for a replacement for the keen but slightly bewildered investor. Any recommendations appreciated.

Getting a ~£37 dividend on a £50 investment in a start up next week after some cloak and daggers.
We got sent a shareholder update at the start of December that went something like "Heyyy everything's great, revenue's up. The media said some bad things but ignore them, anyway here's a share buyback offer you should accept". This was sent a few minutes AFTER an email containing the buy back DocuSign, and included minutes of a "board meeting" at which the CEO was the only attendee.
People kicked up a fuss on the Crowdcube forum and not only did it not make any sense, but Crowdcube are the shareholder nominee so he's not even allowed to make direct offers like that. CrowdCube said they'd look into it and a week later we get told we're all getting dividends.

Four years to the day. Still currently deposit £250 a month without roundups
I'm now sitting on £15,028.44 making me 19.88%
I've made £5k since my last update a year ago which is £3k in deposits plus £2k in interest
Buzzing!

Fantastic stuff and keep it up. Looking forward to 2034 where City are a long established Premier League club and we see your pal compound interest has turned up to the party!

Whilst I'm here, another new thing I'm doing on the side of bank switches and academic surveys to funnel money into consistent monthly investments:
Roamler
Small amounts of money can be made completing mystery shopper tasks. In Coventry so far this has been taking pictures of products in places like Tesco, uploading it and answering a few questions. Seen one today where you turn up at Coombe Abbey hotel, order a pint of Mahou and take a picture of it before you drink it for a few quid (They also refund cost of the pint). I looked like a bit of a pest taking pictures of feminine products yesterday but earnt £3 whilst doing my usual weekly shop.

Might be worth checking the rules and regs on this. News today that Rachel Reeves was under pressure by frontbenchers to increase capital gains tax.

Hoping this isn’t too personal a question, how much are you able to earn a month using this?
Mr Panda

I aim to earn £50 a month on academic surveys. As for Roamler, I’ve only just started so I’ll see if I can provide a roundup next month having used it whilst working a full time job. I get a lot of these ideas from the “beermoney” Reddit forum.
This is one guys roundup for May:
Mild-Mannered Janitor
Kindest Bloke on CCFC / Maker of CCFC Dreams
Cannot beat the long term strategy and markets and the benefits of compounding, my grandad when I was starting work at 16 lectured me about Pensions and joining straight away and if you get a pay rise, try to keep most but increase your pension by 0.5% of the pay award, many years I haven't had a pay award but followed the advice and the fund is incredible now, the only thing I wish I had done earlier was ISA's so the pension could keep on growing whilst you draw down the ISA money first and the governments ever changing pension rules but I am a spender so I always wanted it in my pension where I couldn't touch it until 55. Just got to get to and be alive at 55 now

I sold half of my 'portfolio' of crypto about a year ago, while the prices were going up and up. I still made a profit but lost out because it went higher. I held my nerve on dips and now it'll pay off. I've only put some of it back in. It's the 'sh*tcoins' that have dropped the most, which is what I've bought. I think the bigger coins have someway to go before I buy.
It doesn't have any real value but you can make money off it providing you're not the one holding the bag.

Just having a look at Trading 212. What's the best option for someone who won't be following the ups and downs of individual companies. The stocks and shares ISA, one of their pre-made pies? Any recommendations?
Obviously only putting a small amount in to test the water but figured this was a better option than dumping some cash in my Bet365 account for the upcoming season!

It has to be your choice as you'll understand your own attitudes to risk more than anyone.
If you're long term and drip feeding money in every month, then a number of people will simply open a stocks and shares ISA and feed an even split into the Vanguard S&P500 Acc (VUAG) and the Vanguard FTSE All-World (Acc). Try and leave it there 10 years +
Some people will just buy Vanguard S&P500 as the all world is weighted with American companies anyway. Either options will give you exposure to a large chunk of the market and average roughly 10% return yearly.

Compound Interest Calculator
Use our compound interest calculator to see how your savings or investments might grow over time using the power of compound interest
www.thecalculatorsite.com
This is a good tool for working out rough returns you could expect if you feed into a stocks and shares account over a period of time based on average returns of S&P 500. E.g. £100 (increased 2% yearly) invested every month over a 10 year period would make £22,342 (£9.1k earnt on top of investment).
Increase the 10 year span and it gets even better - time is your best friend.

Been following for the past few years. Especially the Indices.
At one point I was doubling my money every few weeks.
Can't give any advice but things may be going in the opposite direction.
If you are going with the market at the moment it may be be worth looking at some financial advice.

Jonathan Ferro from Bloomberg had trials with CCFC. Very complimentary about City in the play-off finals.

For the geeks out there. A decent overview of one of the main reasons for recent global volatility (the Japan carry trade - sounds complex but isn’t)
a simple visual explanation
The other concern being that the US economy is slowing faster than people thought and a recession is on its way (I personally think this element has been overdone a little but the recent jobs market data definitely shows signs of slowing)
The interconnectivity of the financial markets is mental, relatively small movements can cause big ructions globally. It’s why the print, borrow and spend with abandon supporters will always struggle to convince me. Not sure it’s physically possible without big repercussions
