I keep waiting for it to happen so I can scoop up stocks at low low prices. Last summer I was 60K up on my investments over the last two years. Then it dipped to 20K
but now it's up to 43K.
But there's definitely bargains to be had, even now.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

There are some UK-focused stocks that will do pretty nicely in the event of *any* sort of Brexit deal, even can kicking. Think Lloyds and Taylor Wimpey in the FTSE 100, but they're mostly in the FTSE 250. OTOH, they'll be hammered if not.Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI keep waiting for it to happen so I can scoop up stocks at low low prices.

Still, probably a good punt, if you're the punting type.

I don't react. I invest a few grand every few months in companies that I think are worth investing in. I rarely sell.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostYour reaction times .Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Buy & hold has worked well over the past four decades. Even where there have been crashes and bear markets, the market has recovered within a few years.
However, it's not always been like that.
After 1929, the Dow took 30 years to make a new ATH.
The same happened again in 1965; it took another 30 years to make a new ATH.
