    Oh, I always look to scootie for the contrarian opinion. Invert it, and it's infallible.

      There's good money investing in Welsh Ostrich farms. I wonder if ScooterScot managed to catch that one on his charts.

      Making your fortune by investing in an ostrich farm in South Wales always seemed an unlikely proposition. But money poured in from more than 100 investors, lured by a glossy brochure and the promise of profits of 70 per cent a year.
      What a bunch of idiots! Thankfully I realised a joke canine meme crypto was the real deal.

        Years ago the rule on equity to bonds ratio was 100 - your age. See https://www.investopedia.com/article...e-outdated.asp

        However, with all the money printing etc, this is quite outdated.

        My gut feel is a 70 / 30 fund would be better, a little more risky, but with more possible reward.

        Therefore buy the simple LifeStrategy funds, 50% of

        and 50% into

        https://www.vanguardinvestor.co.uk/i...fund_fund_link

        To give a 70 / 30 split.

            Being loaded helps and following the scootie counterfactual strategy helps with that. For example, you could turn up at a party and crash yer AMG into their house, burn all their sofas and let your squirrels eat all their food and still have change left after repairs from the wodge you brought along.

              Now that's a proper party, innit?
