    No.
    And if you are in funds, great reason to have some with good managers. The managers should know better then your normal common human being when is the best time to sell or swap to minimise the losses..
    With my luck, it recovers tomorrow and I would have sold at the lowest level possible...

    Good figures out of the US (including housing) have eased the falls over there.

    No, not at all. I've got some cash that I'm drip-feeding in (this year's S&S ISA subscriptions) and the next lot will go in late May or early June.
    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.

    I bailed from Japan today. Just had the HL papers and I made from April until now 14% on approx 5k? Not visiting that country again.


    Baaaaaaa! I am so glad I sold my funds yesterday. If I had sold out from Japan yesterday I would have been about 6% better off than today!

    As far as I am concerned now bring on the dips/crash

    Gosh, the market is like a little toddler:

    And if you had decided to sell tomorrow you would have been about 2% better off than today too! Bad day to sell. All panicky sellers today. :mad:

    Balls of steel needed for this game.

    It's nice to think that but their records show otherwise.
