Then if its falls like now you pile it back in proportion to the fall below the 3% average growth line
Another idea I reckon is safe is choose the year you think the market has bottomed out. Like if in 2003 you thought this is it, it cant get drastically worse (I believe insurance companies were forced to dump shares at the market bottom, capitulation, etc ? ) so then you'd immediately start regular payment over the next year
Or combine those two and you couldnt be wrong, much
Yup, I really couldn't disagree with that, I have advised (I know I shouldn't advise) the broader family to move the kids stuff into the markets, now is not the time for caution if you are investing 15 years plus.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0
