I'm sure you would have quite fancied 25% growth per month over the last few months though.

If I could make all my investments with the benefits of hindsight then I'd be a happy bunny. :rolleyes:

I dont think the dice generally work out well for me. I somehow much more often, with hindsight, make the wrong investment move. The China funds might well be up by 200% in the next 12 months or maybe they will crash, who knows.

Just because the China market dipped in two successive days I bottled out.

As I mentioned on a couple of occasions, you were investing outside your risk profile. That's why you abandoned your massive pro-China stance with a couple of minor downturns.

Yes, it's likely to crash at some point, but in the long run it's probably still going to do ok (though almost certainly not as ok as recently!)

I've been following your posts on China and must admit your move surprised me.

After all, as I recall, Gartmore climbed 27p one day, then fell 37p (18p + 19p) over the next two days...hardly the end of the world!

I agree with Aegis in that you were investing above your risk profile.

Personally, I'm only in Gartmore with £1K (12.5% of my ISA portfolio), and have seen a 67% increase since May*.


* Tarnished somewhat with a 20%+ loss over 10 months on Aberdeen Prop Share...but you live and learn!

Nope - WAY above my risk tolerance threshold I'm afraid. Get sweaty palms and need a lie down at the thought of a few hundred in Global Basics. :rotfl:
