    But be prepared for it to take several years for them to come good.

    Although you are probably going to see high volatility in the interim which you could use to your advantage if you dont mind keeping an eye and dipping in or out them periodically.
    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.

    Yes, but set stop losses or you'll find yourself going long when you didn't mean to!

    My current approach tends more towards looking for value and income and then going long-term long, but those with the time and knowledge for shorter term trading would regard as dull foolishness.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    The senior fund managers have all gone on summer holiday for 2 months leaving the kids in charge who have realised share prices are built on money created by governments which simply does not exist.

    "Right, listen up carefully. If *that* light there goes red, then push *this* button. Got it?"
