At this extact moment of time, no the markets are closed for the UK...
It is also shorten week next week so it could go crazy high or crazy low as traders try to do four days work in five days. like wise for the week after.
If you want that feel good for a new trader, 22nd of April... people will start getting their pay checks that week and pension contributions going into the market.
but in the long term it really means nothing.
Are you stuck on repeat?!
Think you’re just trolling now
i mean it took him a year or thereabouts to buy a 420d, so i'm totally unsurprised lol
No I will actually invest, although funds that would be going in to this would not be on its way to maxing the ISA which is my plan for the next month or two
I will start funding In to the market index at some point
Probably already missed a good opportunity

unless you have the excess cash, your investments should be in an ISA wrapper anyhow, keeps the grubby taxman off the capital gains when you sell up in the future
ps: i am not your accountant/financial adviser, so seek proper financial advise if you have any queries/doubts

This is quite possibly the weirdest exchange in this thread yet.
How do you explain to someone who so desperately wants there to be an obviously good time to invest, that there’s no such thing, at least without context.
Although I suppose after a 20% drop is probably not the worst time in the grand scheme of things.

Yes, definitely. Buy everything. Take out loans, max out credit cards, cash in pension, stick it all on Intel.
You'd be a millionaire now if you'd just got on with it.

I predict it might go up, but it might go down as well and this pattern will continue for a few years, maybe more
Wednesday gone I started buying US stocks again, just feeding money in using my ISA.
I manged to get in before the Wednesday price jump.
If Monday is a down day I'll probably feed a little more in. There could be news over weekend that jump the market however.
I did the same with Covid, I was feeding money into stocks like Nvidia at around $6 adjusted for later share splits. Sometimes you just have to hold your nose and think about the long term. You always want quality companies, ideally the leader in the sector that company is in.
It's also ok to have a barbell approach, so I own tech, but I'm also happy own utilities, energy, commodities, drug stocks, housing etc. So if ever the US tech sector has a large fall, the barbell approach helps you sleep at night.
