    It’s all relative.

    Anyone who’s been in US Tech this year have had amazing returns. Even a 20% correction would still mean large profits over the longer period.

    Anyway, Tech is the new defensive play.

      A 2% drop isn't a hammering when the markets have been flipping up and down by these values for months now.

      Maybe it's time to drop a few more £k into the US fund to buy more units

      What you still don't get is I'm NOT a trader. This is my long term savings fund, sitting in my tax free ISA, to be drawn down on when I retire fully in 20 years time. A few % drop now will be recovered and some more by the time I retire and need to cash in

          Exactly - his lack of consistency is what makes him stand out as less than truthful.

          If he had genuinely made $420k this year then as a successful trader he would also be pleased with others making money.

          He'd also have told us about this massive return, as he did for his few grand return on Centrica; a trade he was crowing about for weeks as if it was unusual for him to make so much on a single trade.

            It's a hammering if you're an emotional train wreck like Suity.

              Remember he only makes 5-6 trades a year though, and he’s not invested in equities, apart from a £250,000 PUT option on the FTSE 100 tanking.

              Strange he’s getting excited about Nasdaq dropping 2% after a Stella year.

                If it talks like one, walks like one...

                Certainly a gambler. Dipping in and out every 5 minutes - this is emotional loaded trading on steroids.

                  Cause they are all connected. Hope that alleviates the strange for you.

                      He also demanded evidence, but provides none with his 3000% gain. Suspect.
