Hey caveman38 your cave sure does echo!! Seriously though, as mrclondon says, please don't be disheartened or discouraged to continue to ask questions on this forum which can probably answer more or less all the queries you have. He was also, for your own good, suggesting that you satisfy yourself that you are fully aware and comfortable with all of the risks before you move into the riskier end of P2P; a process that, I can assure you, we have all been through. Thanks for the kind words Jonno. I suppose at 60+ , I am just too used to the courtesies of if promised a call (on 2 occasions) and receiving none. I accept that emails are the accepted way to ask for information but could have been told that by CS on my phone calls. I may still have a dabble with SS in the coming months. I've had a busy week and put £15K on other platforms and am therefor serious to include P2P as a chunk of my investments. I am interested to find out what people regard P2P as a percentage of their overall strategy.

There is a thread at "Exposure to MT" that discusses percentage exposure on different platforms. I think I saw something else I will try to find it.

There is a very comprehensive discussion of this very topic on the "General P2P Discussion" thread at the top of the board. Good luck

I would like to inform the forum that I did get my call from adviser at SS a moment ago. Ironically, I couldn't remember the question or find the paper note it was written on. Age hasn't been too kind on my memory, so apologies to SS for wasting their time.

Ha Ha, as a 60+ member myself I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem

Wait until you reach 82 - I wouldn't have remembered where the paper or pen was is the first place so I wouldn't have a note to lose!
