LON: DTY might make a killing.Last edited by DealorNoDeal; 11 March 2020, 20:14.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market. -
Wife and I are throwing £20k each into a S&S ISA tomorrow, so be nice if the FTSE dropped a bit more in the morning
If market still low in a few weeks, we'll be adding another £20k each then too for the new ISA year.
So long as you can play the long game, it's a buyers market

I'd hold the cash for another month at least. Don't try and time it, look for consolidation. Consider this, how far away is the market from 2008 lows? I think that's where we're heading, which is still -40% away.

Agree, doing the same. Won't be looking at the FTSE 100 as an index, but tempted to take some punts. Maybe on Barclays at 118p (back to early 2009 levels), but could be stuck there a while if we enter a global recession.Originally posted by Whorty View PostWife and I are throwing £20k each into a S&S ISA tomorrow, so be nice if the FTSE dropped a bit more in the morning

No offence but anyone buying at this point is delusional. The only direction the market is taking is downwards. Way down. I do hope that I am wrong but all signs are there. Brace for the tulipstorm.Comment

It's pound cost averaging. I buy shares every couple of months. I'll keep doing so. You can't time the market.Originally posted by GhostofTarbera View PostAre you mad ?
