Sounds like we need a Smexit
My strategy to buy shares. Take out my original investment plus a percentage of the profits say 20% but keep the other 80% of the profits in shares. I continue to add cash plus divs from profits every financial year increasing my original investment each time I buy. Of course there have been times I sold too early but I learnt there has to be a cut off point with original investment, to safe keep my original capital and profits.
You cant completely isolate risk, but when my original money is out I feel less anxious.
I currently only have a percentage of my current gains(profits) in shares, the original , yearly cash contributions plus historical div plus historical percent profit is out gaining interest. So I am very relaxed now, I just let those shares bounce around as they are there for my dividends stream.

Weak response from EU
www.reuters.com

The European Commission proposed counter-tariffs of 25% on a range of U.S. goods on Monday in response to President Donald Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminium, a document seen by Reuters showed.

The issue is that US market is really the global market at the moment. There's a lot of companys that manufacture and sell around the world and there's a lot of companies that are from other parts of the world floated in the US market. It "was" seen as the place to be.. you just look at ARM vs RPI... both a UK computer companies and one did make a hell of a gain in the US market while the other floated in the FTSE and been a sitting duck. Yeah other countries do have international companies just not to size and number of the ones in the US market.

Might seem like it on the surface, but I suspect they (EU) are sensitive to the reciprocal hurt it causes for consumers on all sides.
That's the sign of responsible goverance.
Measured diplomacy and measured responses is what's needed to calm the markets...it's not all about revenge, as much as that would play into Trumps 'play book'...... if trump hurts the EU more, (by refusing to back down for example) then I'm sure the EU will tighten the vice further. And further, and further...
Steady hands and clear intentions are what's needed at the moment, not knee-jerk reactions.

Dead link..what did it say for those of us who don't do Twitter?
Do you have anything to contribute? I'm not blindly clicking links, particularly not to Twitter.
You've surely got to trust him, it's literally in his name......

It's a book ad.
It's an article by Dalio.
no it's literally a book advert.. For his new book....
Anyone on here with Trading 2 1 2 accounts. Do you have more than the 85k coverage allowance in there? just trying to judge how reliable they are
Trading 212 holds client assets in segregated accounts with a custodian, separate from its own assets, ensuring that client assets are easily identifiable and protected even in the event of Trading 212's insolvency.
So whilst the 85k FSCS protection is in place - the potential "loss" is almost not worth talking about.
Still better than what you'd see on the BBC, no?
Cheers for the info
