Hi guys is it a smart move to invest in class a and c and potentially double your investment lol ---

Thatā€™s not how it works, you wonā€™t be doubling your investment in % terms. Itā€™s just different share classes and for the most part they move the exact same way. Just voting structure is different. ---

No dman is right. If you buy a share in class A, and a share in class B, you will have two shares, or double the amount of shares if you only bought one. ---

I did say % terms, 100 in A 100 in C Making 10% on each thats 10Ā£ so 20Ā£ in total If you put 200Ā£ In just one share class, thatā€™s still 10% so thatā€™s 20Ā£ ---

Well yes, but actually no. Why not put all your money in either class A or class C? ---

Not all of your money but my point is if c returns are simular to a why not put money in both considering alphabet is a great company! ---

Because itā€™s a bit like buying a single Banana from Morrisonā€™s and Tescos. You could just buy two bananas in the first store and end up with the same result. It is also difficult to apply arbitrage between the lines as well. ---

I wondered what the real difference was a while back. A you get votes, C you donā€™t, but if you use 212 you donā€™t anyways. There maybe some liquidity differences as Iā€™m guessing the institutions will favour the A class for the votes? ---

I tend to favour shares with votes (of any company), even if T212 does not currently allow us to exercise those votes. There could be a difference in case of takeover/acquisition or someone partially buying the shares with voting rights. ---

If weā€™re talking avocados however, I only go for Tesco, I find other supermarkets to be inferior. They just donā€™t ripen or peel well. @Dman @EquityInvestor If you use Revolut, you get voting rights. At least that was the case when I used it a couple of years ago starting my stocks journey. ---

Literally never. It wasnā€™t even worth bringing up. They never ripen and always taste off. Desperate; a real pain in the hass you might say. ---

I think when theyā€™re advertised as ripen at home, you may need to live in a tropical climate. ---

Those ripen at home plums never turn out great from any supermarket. I always go for the ripe and ready to eat variety ---
