Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

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?
Yeah, thread in signature.
Defo a setback of a few years as things stand.

Set a time limit to DCA in e.g 12 months rather than on every 5% drop. You never know when the drops will turn into gains.

Yeah true, my investment horizon is hopefully long enough to see positive gains. So I guess I have to decide to accumulate based on time or price.

Even though technically a lump sum beats DCA in times like this, it's just so unpredictable who knows what will happen with tariffs, bloody nightmare! :D

I wonder what's Trumps response to China going to be, I read Russia said something in the lines of Trump disturbing world trade etc...

Russia said Wednesday that US President Donald Trump's imposition of sweeping tariffs showed his disregard for the foundations of international trade.

There are practicalities of goods coming in that the importers can not afford to immediately pay the duty on. Under normal circumstances everyone wants their goods as quickly as possible, to get distrbuted/sold. So the excess storage space at ports is probably pretty small. If there is even a minor increase in goods not being immediately claimed, then I guess very quickly the ports will clog up.

ive been meaning to ask, but cant companys just route trade through other conttries?
i.e.
China sends its stock to UK were its then forwared to the US as a UK trade
No not normally, it's where the item was produced/grown.

Russia are getting absolutely messed up by it, but indirectly.

1/3rd of their economy is reliant on oil exports and their 2025 budget was based on oil being $70 a barrel. It's now $50 per barrel.
