Portfolio has lost nearly all the gains it's made since December, now sitting at just +0.8% which will probably get wiped out at the next valuation point.
But I don't plan to retire for another 10-15 years, so I sense a buying opportunity will soon be presenting itself! :-)

I am back to where I was three years ago now. I have taken some drawdown, but even so, I feel like 💩0

Anyone thinking of transferring from a DB scheme might do well to dwell on this thread!8

Indeed. As someone who's quite clueless with regard to investing, my ISA is with one of the companies that make the decisions for you. Slightly disconcerting to see a £500+ downturn on my fairly modest investment in the space of about a week. However, I've had the account long enough to realise that there's no need for panic and that things will most likely turn around before too long.0

My SIPP hasn't seen lows like this since the heady days of December 2019. Ah the good old days!
I usually update prices in my accounting software weekly. In the past when there have been prolonged market falls I just do it less frequently.0 -

Just checked mine....sure, down a little this week, but actually I am still up (0.6%) since 31st Jan (last payment in was before that)
Fully expect more of a dip, but still fairly pleased with that.....Plan for tomorrow, enjoy today!0 -
