    Care to elaborate?

    Why was advice bad?
    Where are you invested (ISA just tells us the tax wrapper/container, not where you are invested)?
    Why is losing money bad advice? (investments zig zag in value and periods of loss are normal and to be expected. You average them out with the periods of growth)
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.
