Equities made sense for the baby boomer population, who by the way are dumping shares to pay for their retirement.
Why would anyone buy equities?
Madness.
The world is rushing to safety and equities are not safe and the risk premium of a dividend is not guarenteed unless you are buy preference shares.

Just added up, dropped £5600 since the 27th September, which is annoying. But as I was up £15000 since April by the 27th September then it's acceptable. Still annoying though. But I am holding a lot of equities right this minute, so any movement down is going to cost badly.

No wonder people never own up to making losses on CUK. MF's was a refreshing confession, but an irresistible invitation for know it all's to come out of the cupboard, both of whom are renters
