Stock market - how low will it go

[wattaj]

Personally I'll be watching the stock market and will be pumping in some cash once the reaches a low enough value that I'm confident, in the long term, it will grow again back up to 7500+

^^ This.

As for Hargreaves Landsdowne (as noted by others) ..... there are much better advisers out there. Be careful that they don't try to convince you to transfer all your funds for them to manage!

They're not advisers. They're just brokers. If folks are not comfortable trading with ETF's, yes stay away. If on the other hand you know what you're doing, then fill your boots.

The funds that folks refer to going bust may well have been available on HL, but's that's nothing to do with them. Always do your own research.

Mostly Woodford clients throwing a fit. Seems that the service has taken a hit with the onboarding of Woodford and more so the fallout.

They are also Financial Advisers. They have an alleged reputation for encouraging members of financial salary pension schemes to transfer to schemes that they manage. Companies like HL make a nice bit of income from FUM

They do not have a good reputation in the advice and pension arena. By all means use them if you like, but i'll pass thanks.

I don't understand how they could be advisers when their core business is collecting broker fees. Always seek independent advice from a IFA. I'm baffled by those that seek advice from the salesman.

retired doctors and nurses could be asked to return to the NHS as part of a UK "battle plan" to combat a possible further spread of coronavirus.

That would be nice Max out the shares ISA (normal FTSE tracker is perfect) this side of April, then drop another 20k in after 5th April

To really scare you - can you think of anyone better in politics to do the job?

At least we are in a better position than the US where the person leading believes pray will solve the issue - mind you pray is probably all most US citizens can afford to do.
