Less not forget, retiring baby boomers over the next years will be pulling huge sums out of the stock market. This demographic are also the most indebted. Up to their eyeballs in debt, which is amazing given how many golden opportunities they had over the years."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

If the tulip hits the fan proper this time then all the money will be devalued due to excessive printing: all cash savings accounts will be worth feck all as they won't be inflation indexed, from this point of view having money invested into anything (especially AMD shares) is a smart decision.Comment

Big fall in value this past week, that is the risk bit everyone keeps talking about.
I am buying steadily on the way down, it goes down another chunk I will buy another chunk, that is the buy low bit everyone keeps talking about.
Every chance this will blow itself out in a matter of months, certainty this is a kink in the path in 10 years.
A big crash is coming, no-one knows when, if you can't accept that, better chuck it all in 1% fixed interest.
Want to smooth the path a bit - Vanguard Lifestrategy 60/40 does all the hard work for you while still grabbing most of the shares return you need.

I am waiting for the US markets to have an almighty crash. Some of the stocks are at artificial highs. TSLA was just 220$ couple months ago and now 900$. Insane!Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

I decided to liquidate half my equity trackers earlier this week and have the rest in a passive cautions fund. So plenty of cash to buy the future lows over the next few months. Corono Virus hitting the middle east now, Brexit negotiations, Trump lots of reasons for a wobble this year.Last edited by BlueSharp; 26 February 2020, 14:08.Make Mercia Great Again!Comment
