Like the February Correction ?

Or the start of a big crash ?

What's your opinion ?

Personally I think it's similar to what happened in February and should recover over the coming months.

Just wondered others opinions on this and whether anyone thinks this will be the big crash that some have been predicting........

No idea. And it wouldn't make any difference if I had one.

Me neither

However, £30k landed this morning in my IWEB ISA from a matured cash ISA.

Can't quite bring myself to press the Buy button.

I know, I know.... Time in the market:p

I vote correction mainly because I posted after 1:30

According to the BBC News website (currently having fun there in a HYS about European Market fall!) this fall was due to a single comment from the IMF regarding over valued equities!

My gut feeling is that this could be the start of a bigger drop, but who knows. I am staying invested anyway. I saw this story about the Worlds worst market timer which gives me some comfort! https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2014/02/worlds-worst-market-timer/

I have a long term outlook so am not particularly worried and using the opportunity to invest some cash.

To me staying with the investment is the option right now, as the vibes and volatility of the market feels more correctional

I'm not selling anything, my spreadsheet holding my retirement plan shows that I can survive a 50% crash and that's with a 70%/30% equity/bond portfolio in my ISA. Long term all the way thank you very much!

If wary of deploying it in one go, then a regret minimisation approach might suggest splitting it into, say, 3 or 4 chunks, to be invested over the following 3 or 4 months.

Invest the 1st chunk today, and the last chunk in 3 or 4 months time.

Invest the remaining chunk(s) either monthly in between today and the last date, or attempt to finesse things by investing them on days you feel the market has significantly pulled-back/tanked and investors appear scared. Days where you yourself feel rather too scared to buy very often turn out to be good days to have bought on, so listening to your own feelings (and then overriding them) is often instructive.

While I regret not following my instincts and top slicing my equities a few weeks back i'm in for the long haul. So i'm buying
