I did watch something Christmassy yesterday…
37 years ago, Sergeant Al Powell helped save dozens of lives after being sent to investigate a prank call at Nakatomi Plaza.
I was pleased to honour his quick thinking and bravery by watching the celebrated documentary, Die Hard, yesterday evening.

Heading into December with a line-up slightly changed with #MONY.L out and #VP.L & #ZTF.L in as replacements.
Over the past month, have seen a 1.5% decline in portfolio value to up 12.0% YTD after a couple of unwelcome pw's
Would like a Santa rally to round the year out to a reasonable result 🎅.
