stock market crash

[scooterscot]

I'd quite like it to drop below 5000. I have over £50k sitting in a cash ISA that I'd like to put into FTSE fund but hoping it goes a bit lower before I purchase. Anything I put in to FTSE ISA will sit there for 10-20 years so whatever I 'lose' this year or next will come back (and drop, and go up again multiple times) over the long term.

Sure someone said something similar in 1987 Japan

How's your 24% doing?

To be honest, I split between FTSE and EU shares excluding FTSE - I'm with Vanguard too - The FTSE one is the actively managed one rather than simple tracker.

I struggle to justify putting my money into the US and support Trump, however tiny.

Euro is going to surge in value over the coming years against the dollar and the pound. Can you put prejudice aside, that's the real question...

From the guy that says don't time markets and keep emotion out of it.

Why does it please you when people are raging? I thought you were an investor, not someone that wanted to be a winner and everyone else a loser?

If you needed the market to crash in the next few weeks, or you'd lose $250k, you'd be a bit highly strung too.

So what's the general consesus on what's going on and the short to medium future?

Please, scooty, don't bother replying.

Just had a cuppa, the tea leaves suggest November will be the low point with a Santa rally to finish the year, before a crash leading in to April where a proper recovery will occur. *

IMO, it's just some reversal from months of green, the 4% down is now 2% down on the same day.

Does that mean Scoots is now £70k in the green too?

I suspect the fantasy put is still haemorrhaging fantasy money.

I'll try again. How's that 24% doing?
