Stock market - how low will it go

[VirtualMonkey]

I once made a killing my accidentally putting a spread bet the wrong way on oil prices. Never managed to replicate that so I tend not to bother any more.

I was rather pleased but knew it was a fluke of epic proportions

I *think* that it's generally recommended that one stays away from crazy indices, commodities, mining stocks... that said, I've never been one for taking advice.

Carnival PLC (cruises) has been a consistently good short over the last few days.

I'd LOVE to be a fly on the wall of Trumpian's office whilst the stocks are tumbling.

As it happened I checked my stocks ISA just before all this kicked off. Checked today and I am down ~10%. How's that compare to the FTSE and other people's portfolio downturns?

I was toying with the idea of selling it all and sitting waiting but I doubt I'll bother. Stocks are something I rarely look at ... money goes in, I let my dealer advise me, and typically I have no idea what they're worth. I plan to check in about 20 years if my portfolio is worth anything

Keeping investing, drip feeding in. But don't buy the FTSE100, it's useless because the UK economy is in tatters and we all know the Tories and Labour are intent on destroying it. Buy overseas funds instead.

If you must buy UK, try the FTSE250 instead. But seriously, UK is in a pile of dung and it won't improve in our lifetimes.

2nd don't buy the FTSE 100. Invest in nothing. Just hold cash. In a recession cash is King.
