This isn't the huge crash you have been hyping about for 100 pages.
But it will happen one day...
I haven't changed my mind even 1%. What are you referring to?0 -
Sri Lanka's economy collapsed this week. And now so has the economy of Ecuador.
Like dominos.

I'm not sure you want to be in equities when they are melting up. They won't collapse in an orderly fashion allowing you to get out with your bag of swag.0 -

The pound is already being regarded as an emerging market currency in some quarters. When are you planning to move your war chest of cash into gold or some other real asset?

I'm ~30% cash right now. I plan on buying gold/silver when they crash along with everything else. They won't necessarily crash, but they have before and I want to be positioned to profit from it should it happen this time.
I already have big positions in gold and silver.0 -

So exactly what is your plan for your gold and silver when the s**t hits, and the UK (whole world) is on its knees and the rioting and looting starts.
How do you plan to put food on the table with your assets? But at least you'd have some fancy cutlery.How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)0
