Dividends much higher taxed than CGT - so all good, nothung can go wrong now!

The stock market has been going up exponentially for more than two centuries.



It will continue to do so, in spite of everybody thinking the stock market should go up linearly. That's not how investments work, they are by nature exponential.

It’s going to crash in year 3000!

Put it all into Crypto. You'll have £1m in the next 6 to 6000 months, as per Pooper's variable advice. Just watch the charts and put your deposit down for that lambo!
