Everyone who's called it right usually got it wrong.

Called it.

Not quite there, as the market commentators said on CNBC, it doesn't feel like market capitulation.

You can "nibble" but you still need to keep substantial funds available for what could be a great buying opportunity.

My Verizon stock is now in profit, but that was just a nibble

I'm now waiting for the "big one", when all the hedge funds liquidate their portfolios to pay off their loans.

No rush... this bear market has an easy three years in it before recovery. You may as well wait until there is evidence of consolidation.

The inverted yield curve is as wide AF. Unlike the previous recessions, it is suggesting 2-3 years of downturn before bottom.. And if you consider the state of the world, it kind of fits the present day narrative. Even if the virus was wiped clean in the next 6 months it'll take another year for businesses to get back to where they were, that's us in 20222 without a sweat. And we've not even yet considered the self inflicted economic sanctions.

The UK is not somewhere you want to invest in the next few years. Wait until the trading relationships are really understood and exist in practice.

Am presently placing a shed load into my SIPP from Ltd Company in readiness to go all in with Apple and Shopify when the dust settles. In my eyes will be a fantastic buying opportunity.

Markets shooting up today, hold fire.

If stocks go back up quickly, portfolio goes back into profit - win
If stocks crash big time in a few weeks, great buying opportunity - win

Always hold money back.

Unless you are a government....

yup. I have about half of sipp in cash still and will double that as soon as new contract is confirmed with my a MyCo top up.

Might fly past the 4600 bottom tomorrow... Did not expect the resistance line (called out in the green box) to act as resistance this low. Tomorrow is going to be historical / hysterical. Circuit breakers on standby!

Didn't you say that most days last week?
