What's your thoughts on events coming up and impact on markets?
I've been in vanguard equity 80 20 and fundsmith for a few yrs now and this year has been rather generous so far.
Since the beginning of the financial yr. I've not put anything more into my stocks and share ISA as I've been waiting for the two above to come back down before I buy.... But they've just kept increasing... I think I'm around 15% up overall
So what are people's thoughts on timing. From what I've read, you can't time markets, but that doesn't stop me trying to. Should I put 5k in end of sept and then the rest at the end of each remaining quarter? Or wait until the mess in Oct and throw it all on black? What are people's thoughts on what will happen given the scenarios of hard or agreed Brexit? Can't help but think this is a calm before a storm...
Also am I completely mad to cash it all in now and buy a manual f355 RHD? I'm having serious temptations. No mortgage, good income, under 40. Help!

If you've got 80% in equities (not clear from your post), then surely something like brexit doesn't really matter as you're planning to invest long-term.
by all means do some dollar-cost averaging, but if you're not prepared to see your portfolio dip in value by a substantial proportion then maybe equities aren't for you, at least at your current allocation (assuming you don't mean you're invested in the 20% equity fund).

if we're talking engines, then its very improtant and must be set correctly in order for you to achieve optimum performance and fuel consumptionIf we're talking subwoofers then its mainly down to the positioning of the subwoofer in the room and relative to the main speakers, the crossover frequency and the phase relationship between them.
If we're talking comedy, then it's essential.
