Yeah I'd rather take a 2% hit and be cautious over the weekend personally. Its hard to predict what tell what thr response will be at open on Monday.

From what I read (and I hope) the rating change alone would cause minimal impact. Even after the downgrade US debt is far more attractive than any other

Likely true but this market is increasingly irrational.

Someone clearly thinks the Moody's downgrade is bullish.

Previously a credit downgrade has cause a big slide, next week might be good to buy.
The downgrade of any credit is always retrospective.. like personal credit rankings, banks only downgrade you after you **** them off. Trump is getting fount out.. lol
It going to affect the bond market more, as they will need to offer a higher return for the greater risk and people trying to swap their older bonds with less return for ones with higher return.
I’m ready to buy the dip, if there is one…

I’m 45/55 equities/cash at the moment. Most of those equities I’ve bought in dribs and drabs over the last month. Most consistently green my portfolio has been in a while
I’m still happy being mostly cash. Don’t let FOMO cloud your risk assessment. Trump could tweet something stupid next week and tank the markets again. A nuke could go off in Kashmir, or Ukraine for that matter.
Wasnt there just a dip?
What did you buy?

There was just a small dip in the post market on Friday as the announcement was right at the end of the day. There could be a more substantial move over the coming days, or Trump could tweet and send us back to ATH, it's very hard to predict.
There's been a dip since trump started his tariff guff, it's started to recover since he backed out.
I brought a load of S&P 500 in march as much as my ISA allowance allowed at the time, not quite at the bottom (~£78.50) but mid way.. sitting on a 9% return.
If it goes down to £75 pounds again, I’m going to buy a load more… just need to ensure that I have enough allowance left to be able to transfer my work shares from an option that’s maturing in November. I’m 144% up on them at he moment and need to get them into an ISA before selling, else I’m going to be hit by CGT, and I want enough allowance left to be able to still DCA for the rest of the tax year.

40% in shares 60% cash so far my shares are up, but most of my profits are shares. I wouldn't mind a bit of a crash on Monday, I would buy more cheap shares, and leave them as profits as shares.when I sell my initial capital.
