    Thank you Ryan Futuristics for more senseless rubbish.

    Please forgive me colsten

    I'd assumed Neil Woodford would've run this interview past you first - so you could error-check it and tell him which bits to change

    You've got to remember, investors like me and Neil are young, foolish and just trying to learn from our mistakes ... None of us are colstens, although we all aspire to be ... Thank you for your patience ... with all of us ... from everyone here

    Not you, not Woodford, not anyone else can consistently beat the markets. But of course you would like us to believe you can. It's how you make a your money.

    Sorry, I won't. And I don't care that you don't care. So no point to continue arguing.

    Anyone who DOES consistently beat the markets (Buffett, Woodford, Soros, etc) does so by luck

    Anyone who DOESN'T proves your point

    Only colsten can beat the markets, because he knows more than other people

    'UK fund manager predicts stock market plunge during next recession'

    'The next financial crisis – not if but when'
    Wow, when we have a recession, the markets will fall, and one day there will be another financial crisis.

    Thanks for enlightening us. How about:

    During the next heatwave, UK temperatures reach seasonal highs, or, unemployment will rise during the next recession.

    Nostradamus material right here!

    Don't tell Tim, but I am executing his asset allocation wisdom using primarily actively managed investment trusts.

    Welcome back, Ryan. Honestly, it's more fun with you here. I wholeheartedly disapprove of the way this particular thread has gone but I was really happy to see you back and promoting your take on investment strategy in the first post you made on this thread.

    Me, I apply a healthy dose of skepticism when a fund manager gives a speech (which is what this was, not an interview, by the way) promoting the benefits of active management over passive funds; but I do think it's good to have perspective and open-minded and I think the reactions to Ryan's post on this thread were inappropriate.

    I'm just an ordinary punter, but every single big drop in the last 25 years has given my investments a boost.

    OK the next might see me fighting my neighbours over who gets to eat the fattest rat, but no investment strategy other than bullets and beans would address that one.

    How does one invest in rats?

    I sense a strategy here.
