The problem is nobody can predict what Trump is going to do next. He can just randomly walk back some of the tariffs and stockmarket would rally again.
Not so long ago, people on here were saying why are people panicking.

I hoping for more drops, I have cash waiting to buy. And we are in the next financial year means I'll take advantage with my sipp installments.
No, I don't think that would happen, even if he did change it has already set the wheels in motion , everything is signalling to a market crash.
Too true but the apparatus of US government has utterly failed to curtail this clown. The executive has effectively bypassed congress and is seemingly being allowed to act unilaterally.
Aye. Panic is never a good idea. I'm more bemused at the lack of any oversight / control in all of this.
Indeed; just more opportunities.
they voted him in, it's a bit like brexit was in the uk, people will not admit to their mistake even if it stares them right in the face, the fear of "I told you so" is too high.. add ego to it..
it's very red here, but I'm not touching it for 20-25 year so what ever.
How can you control Trump? Remember when people said he was surrounding himself with yes men and the guardrails were eroded? This is the result.
You would think the legislative and judiciary would pipe up but I guess not. I'm agog at the seemingly complete collapse of any honest brokerage between the branches. Anyways, this thread is about stocks and making money (and losing it)!
he managed to get rid if anyone that disagreed with him, USA is in a dangerous place but because of how big and involved it is in everything, we're all feeling it.
Then don't do it. Stick it in a cash isa or money market fund at a guaranteed 4-5% and don't think about it.
So your saying its not worth buying stock and shares unless your willing to wait 10 years to make a profit ? or locked away for that period of time? seems abit long doesnt it ?
Do you know what you are doing for short term trading? If not then you are basically gambling. If you are happy with that and can afford to lose the money then go for it.
Short term as in daily trading ? i know the theory behind it yes,
you buy when the value is low on the day or before market opening, and then sell off at a peak, but you need to have a good understanding about the market, the company, and whats happening within that company. Are they announcing anything which will make stocks prices rise, is there anything going on which will make stocks and share prices fall.
is there any other general market conditions which could contribute to fluctuations
I am no expert in this , i want to learn but i find it sometimes hard keeping track of whats going on and trends
Like you say if you dont keep on top of trends in the market, your essentially gabling. You could be buying on what you think is a low point when it could go much lower. Or you could be buying at a high point in which case its wrong
If there is a preset portfolio that is managed by a provider that i could say right here is my money, place it in what you think is best - this maybe a better option for me
