    Thats the best advice on 'ere.

    The biggest mistake (other than the other biggest mistakes ;) ) amateur investors make is to look back rather than look forward.


    Yep, an obvious mistake thats hard to avoid.
    'I wish I'd done that' is a genius way to constantly trail the market movements and lose money consistently, combined with a jittery withdrawal of money at the bottom price its amazing how bad this works out.

    If only it could be reversed easily, it would produce millionaires but unfortunately I'am still figuring out what exactly the opposite strategy would constitute
    help them and their clients see into the future
    Nobody can do that, theres only good and bad bets.
    Grading risk is everything really, timing I guess be would second and finally allocate the correct percentage of your money to match. Thats all a professional or amateur can do imo

    quote=westy69;18438927]Dont be a keyboard warrior whiteflag, i have said from the start i have no idea what i am doing hence asking for advice, i dont want backing i want opinions, .

    Well you got my opinion
    Answer me this - what do i want backing with?

    That what you did is someones elses fault.
    what do you want me to answer? - if its regards to what has my new FA done then he advised me to leave the funds as they are for now,

    Thought you said he's done nothing ? Hes advised you to sit tight , he wont have been able to do that without a meeting or two, a factfind , writing out for info and then giving you a written explaination for his advice to sit tight . Now that to me is a fair bit of work ! Oh and hes taken on the liability going forward , until of course you move again. What did he charge ?
    are you an expert on everything?

    No just someone who has read your threads and perhaps sees them from a different perspective to most on this forum.

    After all you said you wanted opinions.
