Ouch!

So, buy the dip... or keep away from a larger long term correction?

Looks like it was a case of "buy the dip"!

Almost as volatile as crypto currency this week

Half of yesterdays bounce wiped of today, European markets down more, US looking like a dead cat bounce now. US president clearly talking ste about the market is going to make people nervous, UK news feeds reminding us of further inflation led interest rate rises... Brexit still unclear. I don't expect gains on the equity markets will be easy to find for a while, i expect the ftse to drop below 7000 and stay there for quite a while...

But wtf do i know?

I concur. Think of the teeth on a saw, facing down. My call is a painful decline and a very volatile one at that. The indices are massively over bought. And irrational. Half of amazons earnings was a one off tax rebate (wtf they don't pay tax) and the market cheered.

I'd been thinking more on a trading level than investing. You could easily have had 10% gains buying early once the bigger drop happened. However it does seem Norway is somewhat sheltered from this compared to some other places. The stuff I am holding is pretty much exactly the same price as it was before the drop at close today. Brexit is obviously less of an issue here, and oil being near the top of where it has been in recent years might also be helping. That said, US heading down may well have an impact tomorrow.

I don't expect to be right but I do think that there will still be good shares to pick from further down the markets, the global economy is still growing, the population still growing, I'm hoping and investing (betting) the small caps in the us, Europe, Japan and emerging markets will outpace the main markets in 2018 and am taking a bigger interest in the Chinese and indian internal markets now the pound is getting stronger. That is once my ftse short closes... So here's hoping for 7000.

Pictet also have a Russian equity fund, its rather expensive but its done well over the last 5 years but in huge fits and starts. It's a very risky proposition but if sanctions and global politics were to change in the short term Russia is a huge sleeping giant.

Another fun start to tomorrow it seems like!

So who reckons we will go through the 7000 floor tomorrow?

Could easily happen.

This arena is far too political. Economic risk is one thing, political something else.

Very easily. This feels very much like the beginnings of 2007.

Everyone selling up into cash then? Or buying more on the dips? Or?

I’ve set a stop loss on BT so they will probably go in the morning. Other than that I’m going to wait until next week. I have some dividend income to re invest.

Mostly in funds, going to ride it out. Japanese emerging markets fund is still performing well.

The stocks I am in BOO was sat at a 9 percent loss for me anyway. ZIOC is sat at 40 percent up, so balancing my books.

Cannot bring myself to sell anything and convert a paper loss into an actual loss. Maybe stupidity...but hey. Gamble what you can lose i guess.

Buying the dips...funded by shorting the main markets

[bad company]

FTSE isn’t down as much as I expected this morning. Tempted to start buying again but I think I’ll hold off until next week.

[p1stonhead]

Nearly all of my stuff is in long term places so I refuse to even look this week
