    This is the problem. Using emotion as part of one's investment strategy is a sure-fire way to lose money I'm afraid.

      Probably helped that I bought in low and ignored Scooty's advice to sell as the market was going to bomb to 4500 I wonder how many listened to him (not that anyone will admit it) and sold some funds only to have to buy in at a higher price?

      Roll on this new tax year and more growth ... what's not to like

        c. 52% UK FTSE
        c. 12% US Equity
        c. 13% S&P
        c. 13% Europe excl. UK
        c. 10% Global

        All in Vanguard. Bought between late March and late May last year. Nothing exciting, just tracker funds via an ISA wrapper in a growing market.

                    My pension went up 28k in the last year. Some kind of balanced fund my IFA picked.

                      I wonder how much Scooty lost this past 12 months?
