    Yeah, that stimulus package went down like a lead balloon. Rather like travel/tourism stocks are doing...

    US futures already at their 5% limit down levels. Could we see another >2000 point fall on the Dow today...?
    Survival package there's nothing to stimulate.......

    Quite... sitting at home with not a lot going on at work right now... at least not a lot positive...

    Wonder when Vanguard's FTSE250 tracker might be worth a punt...

    I'll revise my -25% or more fall to -40% or more by the time we're done.
    Not out of the bounds of possibility that we might see the biggest overall fall since the 1929 crash.

    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)
