FTSE100 falling fast!

Im quite annoyed now, been wanting to get into a share for last day and Santander are taking an age to transfer money to the account. Just seen its up 6% today so most likely missed the best buying opportunity, will still go in asap though cos I think they're wildly undervalued.
On the brightside my losses in TESCO are shrinking now, were at -10% at one point but can't get phased by it, if you do then you're better off not investing. Kinda wish they'd go -25% so I could average down, but at -10% still not really enough for me to bother.Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.0 -
Big sell-off just before 3pm gave back all of the US job number gains. A key support level around 1184 on the S&P, so ~5250 for the FTSE-100."The state is the great fiction by which everybody seeks to live at the expense of everybody else." -- Frederic Bastiat, 1848.0

Ah well, maybe the media will find something else to focus their hyperbole on now the weekend is here.
Another "armageddon" passes me by.

I've never piled in. Merely drip fed, month in month out. As markets peak I hold more back as cash. As rationale says that at some date markets will drop back. Historically downturns occur every 8 years.
Getting rich on single shares is fine. Until the boards turn totally red. Then even the best companies share price gets trashed. Normally for no good reason.

Living for tomorrow might mean that you survive the day after.
It is always different this time. The only thing that is the same is the outcome.
Portfolios are like personalities - one that is balanced is usually preferable.

I feel like the banks / investment companies are hitting private pensions especially, cause they can. I was looking to invest heavily into pensions this year, with my 40% tax element, but think ill keep it for now!
WHat has that got to do with pensions?
You are mixing up types of investments with a tax wrapper. Its a bit like saying which is the better car, a BMW or petrol.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).
