Too many boom/doom news articles at the moment. I am trying to work out where to invest some money but have a feeling that both the housing market and the stock market are on the verge of another crash.
Wait for Bernanke's speech for hints of whether QE will continue for much longer. The only thing propelling stock markets is cheap money through QE; as soon as the market gets wind of the end of QE, it will correct.
Short term noise to be completely ignored.
You can't time the market, you don't know what you are doing, buy indexes, across the globe charging the minimum in fees, monthly, automatically so you don't change your mind, use ISA's and SIPP's. Fire and forget for at least 5-10 years, you will be very happy you did.
This becomes your warchest and if not needed it is your pension.
I am covered for at least 5 years I reckon despite a patchy investing approach over the last 15 years, this gives me tremendous comfort and makes me immune from terrible jobs or having to live away.
Within sight of here I can easily work part time or part of the year and pick and choose, not long after that, work will be optional.

I think you can time the market, buy when the price is below the 100 ma, the bigger the gap the more you buy. Stop buying when it's above.
