Just you remember that.

Anyone watching S&P 500! September 3rd another beautiful day.

Jeeeez.. Mayhem today

[BlueSharp]

It's almost as if a speculative bubble is popping.

Can I just say how much I'm loving September 3rd?

Can't wait for September 4th. Come on bears! Rage! Rage! Rage into the dark.

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.

Why only FTSE ? I plan to put some money in Vanguard life strategy 60% or 80% fund and forget about it.

Big TSLA adjustment today -6.5% currently.

Scottish Mortgage IT down 6% as well.

Reason, Scottish Mortgage offloaded a large portion of their Tesla Shares to rebalance their IT portfolio.. Only holding 4.3% now.

Baillie Gifford made £13bn in 8 Months from TSLA.

Good business.

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.

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?
