    No need to be too sorry. A fall in the FTSE should be good news for you, and others who invest monthly.

    Thanks for the warning anyway. :beer:

    Then your £50 will buy more shares.

    I thought that was the rationale behind drip feeding money into the stock market.

    it's ok for me - the apology was for those who already have a lot invested.

    Don't forget to pay CGT if and when needed, so the more vulnerable members of society get their share also. ;)
