Now lets see your rate of return over the last week & month.

Looking very green now, what's happened?

I'm holding strong, bet it will make most of it back up by May. If not, will mean short term additions are cheaper then they would otherwise be. Shame I had to put quite a bit in last month to use up my ISA.

Should have said a month, seeing as it is exactly one month later... I completely missed out on the dip, my 1st April to today is only down 0.01%

 

[RxR]

I'm only up +2.8% since May 1. I only had one punt though. Will make up for it next week.

I'm over exposing myself to the EU on purpose, as I suspect my all-world fund, which is so heavily weighted to USA, and USA tech in particular, it may as well be the S&P500, might take a big hit soon if trump keeps trumping.

Looks like you're mostly exposed to cash.

I've only got £2k in VAUG, Im very tempted to pull a grand out and put it into something similar, but maybe with more weight in large-cap asia-pacific, Japan & china.

Just look at an world ex US tracker. E.g EXUS. I wouldn't dial down the US exposure too much though.

 

[platinum87]

Nah..maybe in a year or two I'll reconsider and go 'all in' on 'all world'.

I'm hedging my bets for the time being, for better or worse.. I just don't have much faith in the USA under the current regime, Trump is just too much of a wild card.

I might miss out on some big dippers, but that's just my my personal attitude to risk... I'm happy making moderate gains if I can maintain 7% plus per year, I'm not searching for the jackpot, I'll leave that to the day-traders and the inside traders!

No i was originally replying to you because you are doing the more risky thing.

Also your cash is high right now so your portfolio will be relatively big quickly, the volatility will exacerbate your emotion.

Very quickly you'll wake up with -£1000, thats only a 5% drop on 20k

This is why you need a strategy which is ABC easy, time tested, you dont time the market with index funds.

However you are talking about politics and your faith in the regime, those are emotional arguments not rational ones.

And of course, i find your lack of faith, disturbing!

Crash again on Monday as new tariffs kick in. Was hoping to get out of the US market this week.

I set a limit order but the shate price was 1.5pence lower than my limit order so it did sell. I hope I don't regret not just selling 1p less than what I set the sell order for.

Someone post they get 4.5% on the cash was this is a sipp account?

I get 4.5% on my t212 cash isa.

And I get 4.3(i think) on uninvested cash in my t212 s&s isa

 

[Nasher]

It's 4.6 on uninvested cash in S&S ISA on t212.

4.35 on a cash ISA, which makes it a bit redundant.

 

[Tram]

No for ISA?

It's 4.6 on uninvested cash in S&S ISA on t212.

4.35 on a cash ISA, which makes it a bit redundant.

[mattyfez]

Sorry if I confused things... Just checked now..

My cash ISA was 4.5, now it's 4.35.
Uninvested cash on stocks ISA is at 4.6???

I may aswell transfer all my cash ISA over to my stocks ISA and leave it uninvested?

cash in the cash ISA is in the bank and FSCS protected
cash in the stocks ISA is predominantly in QMMFs and NOT FSCS protected

42k in my cash ISA...maybe not then!

Ive still got 14k uninvested in my stocks ISA (6k invested) I should probaly just punt all that into my VAUG or VEUA, thinking about it... I'm just a bit nervous doing that whilst Trump is still playing what ever game it is he's playing.
