No, does not need to sell, just use the dividends. If you say he down by 50k he must have 350k in the pension. So he can easily live of 70% divs.

Know the feeling ; going for an early/FIRE retirement so this volatility couldn't have happened at a worse time. Thankfully I don't have all my eggs in one basket, but it still irks me that I can lose tens of thousands just because of one idiot in the US. The current market conditions are going to make it impossible for some people to retire now ... none of this needed to happen. All to " Make America Great Again" ? Yeah, jog on Trumpy.

It will recover quickly when the recovery happens, because it not an industry problem.

I'm not so convinced about that. The problem being nobody knows when Trump will decide to abandon his tariffs policy. This could go on for conceivably 4 years, or longer if JD Vance runs for President next term. The world is waking up to the realisation that the US can no longer be trusted ; the free market, at least involving the US, is gone. We're in uncharted waters, and for that reason it's more likely any recovery will be slow and over a period of several years.

Yeah well as I said, meaningless without numbers. But a pension in a world tracker will be down about 20%. As you said quite conservative so I assume its not all in equity either so must be a decent sized pot. Hope they have several years in cash as they are in retirement, its times like this its worth it.

I am very convinced it would recover, I can't give you a time scale. The new incoming presidenti would be I guess the max end time of this mess.
 
I had millions :p.... of krona... Now i don't, I have 100s of thousands... At least today maybe not by next week.

Hopefully this is a generational opportunity for some people!

I have a fairly decent sized ISA (100% cash) that I'm looking to deploy into a world tracker and some tech stocks. May DCA 20% at current levels then continue to DCA every 5% drop.

Looking to FIRE before 40 (if all things go to plan). But that may have to increase!

Anyone here looking to FIRE?
