Pension values dropped?

2

Comments

  • I ran a price feed yesterday and my work DC pension investments have gone down £5k in a month. Appreciate my contribution is purchasing more units but I hope this isn't the start of a prolonged fall as I plan to retire next Spring. I was intending to sell my small share portfolio to give me 18 months or so without having to do drawdown but if this continues it won't last very long.

    AnotherJoe,
    Could you please clarify who is the orange buffoon? Very disrespectful terminology, in my opinion.

    I'd say given the worldwide damage he's causing, plus now doing his best to poison US citizens even more than they are already being poisoned, plus the US job losses through ludicrous policies* its verging on respectful.
    I'd also say buffoon is very accurate, if you fact check pretty much anything hes ever said he either contradicted it before or since or both ,and its untruthful anyway.


    * such as, for example, putting a tariff on imports of solar panels from china in the name of protecting US companies, such tariffs that only benefited two non-US companies and put thousands of American solar panel installers out of work. That's one of hundreds of similar counter productive policies.

    The Chinese don't play by their own rules then? With their own very clearly stated national objectives.

  • Thanks for the clarification. I am disappointed at the disrespect shown towards the President of the United States, the United Kingdoms strongest ally.
    Despite the distasteful propaganda thrown his way by the media and the other haters, he has the support of many millions of Americans and many people in the UK also support his views.He does what it says on the tin!

    Good lord.

    My respect is reserved for the post, not the person. He is a self-confessed misogynist and sex-pest, the evidence suggests he holds several other unpalatable prejudices, he is a proven liar and to top it all off, has a hilariously thin skin. As for doing what it says on the tin, that's nonsense. The tin says he's the leader of the free world when in reality he isn't leading the free world at all.

    That he has the support of many people in the U.K. (which I doubt) says a lot about those people. He doesn't need distasteful propaganda to sully his name, he does it himself.
