FTSE EUROTOP 300 Index is still down 15% on it's 52 week high. Malaise isn't just restricted to the UK.quirkydeptless said:Shock, horror, FTSE below 6000 and end of Trading Today0 -
The majority of my FTSE 100 companies (held through funds) are positive for the year, with a couple flat and a couple down. The FTSE 100 is pretty bad as an index but there are some resilient companies in there.quirkydeptless said:Shock, horror, FTSE below 6000 and end of Trading Today0 -

My mum told me that the cat went to live a happy life on a farm but I am beginning to suspect she may not have been telling the truth. Still not sure what any of it has to do with long term investing though.Sailtheworld said:First day of Autumn tomorrow. Maybe the OP has a fully functioning crystal ball?
