    That said I took that view 12 months ago and sold out of a lot of my US investments, only to miss out on a circa 25% increase in the S & P in 2021.
    A greater return would have been achieved by buying dirty energy stocks, 
    Indeed, I bought some GEEC at 15p early in 2021, now trading at 40p. Shame I did not buy a lot more though....

    In 2020 BG American rose by 121% - I think with any fund that had risen that much in one year, it would have been sensible at that time to have taken some of the gains and put that money into other funds to rebalance your portfolio.
