    Good thing I didn't need the money on a specific date and this should be the rule with most investments- ie to not be a forced seller but have some other cash to use in the meantime.

    I intend to enter retirement with a multi-year cash buffer (index linked!) and plenty of other fixed income such as corporate bonds, gilts, and preference shares.

    Equities will be sold down as a natural part of rebalancing as I blow the cash element on visits to Oddbins and holidays in the Caribbean.
    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.
