Carnival fell 80%. That's all I've got to contribute to this thread.

I haven't looked into it, but as VLS100 fell by about 45%, I find it hard to believe that no individual stocks fell by more than that, and indeed, as you say, a LOT more.

Either way, it's clear my anecdote has given some over-invested posters cold sweats. 

Are you misinterpreting all the 'LOL, I call BS' posts as 'OMG, time to panic'?

Speaking of BS, VLS100's spring 2020 drop was no more than about 27% from top to bottom, but even those selling at the (brief) bottom would be unlikely to have bought at the (brief) top a month earlier, so it's vanishingly improbable that anyone would actually have crystallised a real loss of 27%....

Show me your evidence that VLS 100 only dropped by 27%.

The rest of your post is strawman drivel, which seems to be your speciality.

I imagine that most readers of this thread (and numerous others) are quite capable of spotting who's drivelling...

I'm happy to introduce you to the concept of facts by observing that VLS100 Acc reached £246.30 on 12 February 2020 and dipped to, but not beyond, £179.49 (i.e. -27%) on 23 March: https://markets.ft.com/data/funds/tearsheet/historical?s=GB00B41XG308:GBP

What's your source for the fake news figure, and what else have you dredged up from there?

That's the site I wanted you to find for me for my research. Very useful. Thank you.  I'll be back when I need more info. 👍
