    whats your personal view of where the FTSE will be in say a year
    and where the GBP will be

    Sorry to butt in, where it is in a year doesn't really bother me, my horizon is 15 to 20 years away. In the meantime I'm more concerned at getting reasonable dividend income, which is higher than other alternatives, as well as incurring less tax. In fact, I am hoping that it crashes a few times in the next 10 years, so that I can lock some capital losses in, to offset against future CGT bills.

    Yes well done, you are the Masters of the Universe now.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    You should probably realise that the world is laughing at you.

    You are a laughing stock.

    I looked back on your posts and wasn't surprised to find that you failed in the UK and emigrated to Australia:rotfl:

    I never saw such drastic forecasts, whereabouts were they?

    Here's just one.

    I never saw such drastic forecasts, whereabouts were they? I pulled a figure out of the air of about £1m loss, as a personal worse case Brexit scenario. But I didn't really think that it would come to that, in a way it doesn't matter, because there wasn't much that I could have done about it anyway, it will be what ends up as.

    I'm far less concerned now, and I can see myself possibly getting out of this taking less than a £50k hit.

    60% of investment returns are generated from income reinvestment. Hold your nerve Chuck. Fortune favours the brave. Sell an asset if it's performing badly. Not because market makers have simply marked the price down. Sudden shocks make markets indiscriminate. There's bargains out there if you look.

    Someone who does research. It was clear from his post that he is a bitter man, but I wanted to check why that was. He went to Australia where all the failures go.

    Don't worry I'm not nervous, whatever happens I'll be ok, my main concern at the moment is having to wait for my dog's stitches to come out on Monday (and the bloody weather of course), so we can resume our hiking and jogging together.

    but the electorate will be more interested in the next few years
