If the clock stopped this weekend, with the FTSE100 at 6300.63, we would have a clear winner. But there are 8 days to go...

VLS 80 doesn't seem to be faring as well though i'm now about 6% down on the highest point mine reached and 0.5% down overall, drip feeding VLS80 monthly for the last 15 months

Which reinforces the oft spoken advice on here that monthly drip feeding helps smooth things out!

I transferred out of my old pension lifestyle option about 2 weeks ago (which was 100% equities) as they offered a new option and I was getting concerned about being 100% equities. Transferred into a new lifestyle option which put me 66% into a Vanguard 60 look-alike plus 34% in a fixed interest fund. I was (and still am) thinking how to balance the 34% for a bit more risk/potential gain.

Currently down about 1% overall - I think I term it 'fluking the market' as opposed to 'timing the market' . Now it's just when to make my changes to move back to some more equity exposure, and how much........
