Good morning.
With the stocks decreasing quite significantly over the last few days where would you put your money?
I'm looking at long term growth, 8-10 years stocks or funds.
Thank you

You should invest in exactly the same things that you would have invested in two weeks ago, except you get more of them for your money. You are investing for the long term, whatever is going up or down now is irrelevent.0

Its crazy that interest rates returning to normal and QE being switched off, accompanied with high productivity and low unemployment seems to be the "bad news" that is result in this correction.
Interesting times ahead.0 -
I'm not sure that is what's causing the 'nervousness'; this is being driven by increase in bond yields. The bonds market is multiple times bigger than equity and so a flight from stocks in to bonds could be very significant.Personal Responsibility - Sad but True

Crazy? Low interest rates and quantitative easing have boosted asset (shares and bonds) prices so when QE starts to be unwound asset prices have to adjust!Its crazy that interest rates returning to normal and QE being switched off, accompanied with high productivity and low unemployment seems to be the "bad news" that is result in this correction.

Its not significant. Around 8%. A correction is classed as 10% and a crash is classed as 20%. Both the dot.com extended period and the credit crunch fell be over 40%.I'm looking at long term growth, 8-10 years stocks or funds.
That is not long term. It isnt even a complete economic cycle. Its medium term at best.
