How long have you been looking? An economic cycle is around 10 years. That is the sort of period where risk differences tend to play out. Not 2-3 years and just after a couple of negative events.jampot7us said:

The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
