Bed & ISA - a time to swap the dogs?

[dspp]

Geng, If it helps I am separating the two questions.

1. Q. Should it go in an ISA. A = Almost certainly yes. Is anyone suggesting anything else ?

2. Q. Should it be the same things. A = Strategic ignorance says yes, so as to avoid the buy high / sell low trap. However there may be cases where the company so utterly broken that selling the losses is the better of two evils. It really is for the individual investor to make that call. I am making the point that Mr Market has more than one way to mend a broken company and so sometimes holding ones losses is actually quite sensible. But each case is its own judgement call.

regards, good luck all, dspp

Yes, though probably without realising that was what they were suggesting!

Specifically, you were suggesting that by suggesting there was no need to sell, when selling is an essential part of moving it into an ISA.
