are they though? and I'm aware they are linked to stock markets and how most American and Canadian pension funds own loads of companies within the UK even.

Tariffs are good news for us TBH, Starmer needs to start yapping about EU companies moving to the UK to reduce their tariffs on exports to the states.

Seems like some people are just mad their stocks are going down, when they knew in advance tariffs were coming.

of course a load of business leaders and bankers are against it, because it kills their cash cows relying on third world and child labour.

Time to pay real wages back in the states now.

I don't normally post these forums.
No way. I took advantage of COVID and sold most of my sipp shares over the start of this year to start of march. No I am just putting cash into my sipp and building my monetary position to take advantage later on the year or longer depending on the economy policy response.

But it don't look good, cash is king, I like sipp for many reasons. Last year I increased my sipp payments directly from my salary by a big amount.

I am hoping some more volatile shares drop by 40%, I praying for it.

I believe their 401k are tied to how well the markets do.

well pension funds have known since at least feb1


Data from Goldman Sachs has sent shockwaves through financial circles, revealing a dramatic surge in 'short' positions against US stocks - a move that signals a belief the market is headed for a precipitous crash. Throughout January, investors placed 10 times more bets on American stocks falling than on their continued rise, a staggering shift that reflects growing unease over Wall Street's future under Trump's leadership.

Cant predict how much it will fall or when it will turn. So I don't bother to say how far it will drop.

Wow, S&P's currently dropping like a stone, over 4% so far. To think analysts were predicting it would hit 6600 this year not to long ago.

Pretty indiscriminate selling now, first signs of panic?

As for the analysts, guess their crystal balls are not so good after all.. :cry:

To be fair most of the big banks and investment houses are still seeing 6600 ish for 2025. It's actually 2026 that they are more bearish on as the smart money seems to be now on a recession.

Oh is this the narrative now? :cry:

It wasn't Trumps fault, he just sped things up on purpose.

Aug. 14, 2024, at a rally in Asheville, North Carolina

“If Harris wins this election, the result will be a Kamala economic crash, a 1929-style depression. 1929. When I win the election, we will immediately begin a brand new Trump economic boom. It’ll be a boom. We’re going to turn this country around so fast. Many people say that they only reason the stock market is up is because people think I am going to win.”

Oct. 29, 2024, during a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania

“You want to see a market crash? If we lost this election, I think the market would go down the tubes.”
