Regular ISAs appear to have better rates and be more flexible, and I'd also end up having to…

With all the talk of the US economy likely/possibly/probably entering recession due to the policies being pursued by the current administration, should we be worried about holding US equities? Is a downturn likely? Probably a simplistic question. Can we avoid anti-you-know-who comments as it's boring. The US electorate…
