I feel almost prescient in that I cashed in a huge chunk of an ISA the week before last at the highest value it's been.
But I did it because I need to use the money elsewhere, not because I had a ****ing clue what the markets were likely to doComment

Feeling super smug selling my overpriced Edinburgh property last year. It is now clear to me that was the top of the market. There's an alarming increase of properties lingering on the market with no buyers."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

A pension is long term, if you are checking it every day you are doing it wrong.
Come back in a year or two or five or ten and I bet you'll not even remember this or any other blipOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

2008 was a balance sheet (liquidity) crisis.
2020 is an income statement (earnings) crisis.
Bad balance sheets can be fixed with financial engineering but bad income statements require re-working of business models and supply chains.
Now we are facing too much operating leverage in the real economy with over-optimised supply chains, data-driven pricing management and customer acquisition funnels.Comment

This corona virus problem will have burned itself out after max 2 years. Then things will return to normal. The ftse 100 was at 7500 two weeks ago. It's now down 8%. Given that its dividend yield is 4.5%, then the 8% drop prices in two years of zero dividends. I think this is probably about right.Comment
