Seems to a good idea to be in cash till much later in the year. A lot of indicators are pointing to a correction between Sep and November in the US and that generally dove tails in Europe. There should be some good buying opportunities around early December.

Originally posted by MarillionFan View Posti think you're right.
The Autumn Fair is on this weekend , which is a massive trade show where all UK shops make orders for next year. I've now received three seperate emails from companies saying that due to Brexit, they're holding prices until next week & then are putting prices up by 15%. This is because all companies have already bought stock, but now anything new is going to be impacted by the drop in sterling to USD as all imports are calculated in dollars.
The China fair is in October, so give it to the new year before retail sales fall off a cliff.

DOOOOOOM!
I doubt what happens here will affect the bigger picture either way in the long run.
I have quite a bit stashed in an Asain growth fund for the long term.

Originally posted by chopper View PostSo what you're suggesting is that now that I've finally taken the plunge and opened a stocks and shares ISA with HL and pumped 50% into a Vanguard Lifestrategy 100% fund and 50% into a Fundsmith fund, that it is all going downhill from here?
I'm thinking the bull market will carry on though , the stocks are still cheap and it didn't get ridiculous yet.
That said I'm on the lookout for a bargain - barclays seems like a good deal ,but it goes up slowly

With the election round the corner the ponzi pump can only suffer a malfunction.
A few 2016 Britannia's sounds tempting with a correction coming in metals.

I call top on Dow at around 18,600 which it hit a few weeks back, and FTSE at ~6900 which has also been hit. Perhaps not Germany yet.
