Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

I am 40% ftse all world, 40% ftse 100, 10% Europe ex UK, 5% MSCI emerging, 5% small cap.

I want to add some Asia in but the whole ex japan thing makes it slightly more complex than straightforward.

hmmm I try not to mix up my providers on the same platform. You will find that certain providers will consider countries like Taiwan as developed and certain ones consider it as emerging, so there maybe an unintentional overlap.
 
The sensible thing is when you feel there is going to be some crap going on, should you not withdraw the funds and wait for the dip to happen, then when the dip happens, re-invest? this would be the smarter thing to do

Feeding the troll but here goes...

So you are going to time the markets better than professional fund managers/traders?? Perfectly sell at the top of the market and then perfectly reinvest on the dip??

how are you going to do that prey tell.....
 
Yeah that's what I was thinking - things like UK government bonds are arguably "cash like"
Very short duration yes, mid and long duration they are not like cash. Any government would be stupid to try and restrict the holding of gilts by retail investors given the debt situation.

my work shares jumped up by 7.5%.. at one point it was 10% for the day..
shame that this months shares for the scheme hasn't been purchased at the lower price; it was meant to be actioned yesterday... SLACKERS!!... lost out on 15% there alone, as all shares purchased are doubled after a holding period.

That actually wasn't something I had considered.

On reflection I am not overly concerned as a rising tide floats all boats...
 
or crashing down.
if tankers are moving i would expect a downward motion even if its not at the pumps. its going to take a while for supplies to be re-distributed.
unless something happens new worthy.

Not if you don’t have a boat in that part of the world. As one provider could say it’s part of emerging markets and your brought their dev world. And the other provider could say naa it’s a part of dev world and you have their emerging markets.

The countries that could be affected are places like taiwan and South Korea with some big players.
 
The oil price is slowly rising as this ceasefire is falling apart (up $1.50 a barrel) above $96. I might chuck a hundred on an oil major for interest.

Going against the grain today and bought some $OXY to see how that plays with these ongoing Saudi and UAE refinery attacks.


Yeh my $OXY (oil) buy from earlier has been slowly creeping up over the day, was worth a punt. It's only ~100 bucks so far but the way the ceasefire is going it might be shoot up over night.

 
Iran just said the straight is now fully closed.

Going well then.
have to wonder about them 20 tankers that passed.

Ships in the Gulf have received a warning from Iran's navy that any vessels seeking to cross the Strait of Hormuz without permission "will be targeted and destroyed", the shipping brokerage firm SSY has confirmed to BBC Verify.

A two-week ceasefire was agreed on Tuesday evening on the condition that "safe passage" through the narrow waterway is guaranteed - but only a few vessels have since crossed.



bit of contradiction in bbc wording.
 
because i am getting spooked, i actually withdrew the £20460 but then stuck the 20k back in the ETF

I want to try it, but i dont know if its a good idea or not to do this with the whole 20k,

it makes me nervous as hell


You cant blame me as this is the first time dipping my toes in to something like this, the ETF seems to come with a high risk tag also

Like i said, i dont want to lose thousands and then have to wait 4 years for it to recover and return
Why did you not drip feed it in (DCA) across the year instead then? You’re then removing a lot of the risk of buying a large amount in one go.
