Of course, you are right. Which is why all those who sold out to cash have made a big mistake, they are now looking at 10-15% losses to buy back in . I firmly believe the orange man doesn't want to see a huge fall in US stocks, this looks like manipulation more than anything else.

I have a hand picked ETF ready to launch in my Stocks ISA allowance for 2025 but I'm not putting the buy request in blind. Feels like there has to be a swing back somewhat today / tomorrow...don't want to buy in high.

But in the end in 5 years will it matter probably not so much, everything is still on sale right now regardless.

Look at S&P history. Drip feed in every month into a tracker and you’ll be absolutely fine but remember you have to think long term minimum 10 years.

OK, so really this trading is not short term gains unless you do day trading ?

So basically invest in something like Vanguard S&P 500 (acc) or S&P 500 (dist) ? - if i have a spare £100 or £200 per month that im not putting in to ISA or savings account , put it in this and sit tight ?

Yes.

Long term, 10 years or so you should see 5-7% gain per year on average. Excluding oddities like we’re seeing now where the orange potato is playing world simulator.

Just drop some in each month, and don’t look at it until you need it. Mine is in VUAG.
 
Despite my long-term S&S being down 10% from its ATH, I'm still up 13.65% overall since I opened the account.

My crypto account is still up 93%, and I moved my 'play' S&S account to cash. So things could be worse.

Apple, Tesla, Nvidia etc all look to be down in pre-market, and the European markets are starting to slide back slightly after the initial jump up this morning…

I missed the rebound yesterday and don't see a good buy-in opportunity on the stocks I'm watching, so I think I'll just keep my powder dry for now.

You really want your highest growth investments inside the ISA rather than wasting it all on cash. In the long run the gains from stocks will far outstrip the interest you get on cash, you don't want to be paying tax on those gains if you can avoid it.
