The link was I was thinking at getting a FTSE tracker. I am guessing we are going into a long period of low interest rates. I found another developed economy that has lived through a decade or more of low interest rates. I looked at that and decided against a tracker as a result.

But that said I can see now that the thread title was poorly chosen by me and has contributed to people missing my gist!

Yes, this plus the last post, and I am now on the same page. Trackers can be great products if you take the time to get familiar with them, and don't restrict yourself to the pitiful selection on the LSE. Using ETF's it is now possible to build immense diversity across geographic regions, asset classes, and easily move in and out as you deem fit.
