I'm £50k down despite only having had a private pension for 5 years. it would have done better if it had been in a Money Market Fund for the entire duration. I've got a history of losing lots of money in anything remotely investment related though including property.
Wow ! Only 100k in my pension still stings though.
Trump has set fire to the world, probably not going to mean an awful lot to the generation able to access private pensions. Our children and grandchildren will be the ones to really feel the impact. However Trump his family will be ok and fine. What an absolute sh*tshow it’s been since he took over. Russia and Nth Korea not on the tariff sanctions list anyone surprised??

£ down doesn't mean anything without a total, you need percentages.
Somewhere around 13%. As a number it's around 1.5-2 years income. Roughly 60% pension/40% ISA/GIA. 7.5 years until I can access the pension so not too worried about that, just annoyed I didn't consult my crystal ball.More annoyed about ISA/GIA as thinking of stopping work within the next few months/year or maybe two.
Worth listening to this from James Shack
Bottom line is that the tangerine turd is a an agent of chaos, & it is all about him.
Short term - markets will be volatile….you might be 10-40% down over coming weeks
Long term - he loves his popularity, so the tariff bulls
t will unwind itself when he realises how everyone is hating him.
Of course he and his techbro buddy, Herr Müskler, will have made stloads from that market manipulation, which is fking irritating..but in 2 years, perhaps much, much sooner, things will return to an even keel.
IMHO, of course!

Trump wants trade deals.
Tarrifs are a tool he's using to shake the tree.
They will be removed, probably during, and certainly post trade agreement negotiations, but re-instated if the negotiations are not successful.
He has no intention of disrupting the markets any longer than he has to.
Those who are near to having to take their DC pensions may be unlucky in their timing, but that's life.
Some you win and some you lose.

And if it's a tool to shake the tree why is Trump lying about it? How do you enter into a serious negotiation she the other party is gaslighting the entire world about your relationship with them?
