This monthly chart is telling us something very ugly is on the horizon..
It could happen in a flash or a slow miserable 3-years.. either way there's a high degree of probability the index is going down by 30%.

If you want a little more risk, buy some Bitcoin (5% of portfolio?) or a fund that tracks it. It is very clear we've left the bear market now."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I waded into the New York stock exchange yesterday evening, big mess with plenty of blood on the floor, and managed to pick up some cheap Verizon shares.

I'm just gutted I've fired my last buy bullet, I am all in on shares now and trying to scratch some more out of the company to buy more.
Fill ya boots, this is the dip you have been waiting for.
No-one knows where it's going to - NO-ONE. I do know it will be a lot higher than this at some time in the next 10 years.Comment

Now look at the last circled area according to the resistance trend I've drawn. I've not made this up, this is the chart telling us there is a slow resistance unlike anything we've seen before with a bear market that could last until 2025. Consider we've not had a recession since 2008, rather than every 8-10 years. This is falling on the back end of 12 years of boom. We could equally therefore see 5 years of recovery before we back to today's levels!!
A lot higher in 10 years time you say? I'll wager we'll be no higher than we are today. Imagine contributing to a linked share index pension for the next 10 years and not seeing any appreciation apart from added capital.

You are overlooking one important factor - dividends.
I don't know what the yield on the FTSE is at the moment but over 10 years it would compound to a significant amount, which would make up for subdued capital growth.
In any case, if you have a well diversified portfolio, spread across multiple asset classes*, then none of this should really matter.
* global stocks, bonds, commodities, property, precious metalsScoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment
