Coronavirus is nowhere near the equivalent of the collapse in the mortgage market in the 2007/8 crash. The markets are still far above a year ago. I do not see any signs of the start of a major meltdown. (Famous last words?)

The pound only buys $1.28 for now, a change yes, but let's not do a chicken little.

Digger Mansions saw gold fly up to an all time high in £GBP, blinked, and turned around to see it crash down 6% from that high quicker than it went up. If gold hasn't gone off to the races I see no real problem. (But please don't quote me)

Granny has been put in isolation, not as a precaution, were just fed up with her..._

Your wealth preservation portfolio seems a bit more volatile than I would have thought. Is that due to the discount on trusts widening or are there some equities in there?

We tend to think we've been in an equity bull market but if you'd put the same lump sum in each of the Vanguard Lifestrategy funds on the date this started at pricing yesterday VLS20 would have had the best return. Only slightly admittedly but it makes you think.
Note: Digger has thrashed them all out of the park!
