What is happening was slowly going up, past week down 25% Good entry or further down.

I hope the Septics get the $700 billion loan through in the next few days otherwise I can see the FTSE tanking.

3m - i have lost a fortune in my time, especially when the dotcom bubble burst ..... even then i only partially learnt my lesson .... however, being on this board, i find myself repeating the mantra so often that it has pretty much taken root in my own psyche thank goodness

incidentally, the best investment i ever made by a country mile was the total chance (fluke) purchase of a small freehold in w11 back in 1978

Cheers chuckles and cynic. I don't think I will be investing any more for a long time if ever. Time to let the wounds heal and get on with living. I don't think things can get any worse or perhaps they can!!!

3 monkies - why not drip feed a set amount each month into a solid dividend paying company until you have enough invested in that company, then continue drip feeding into a different company, and so on. Good luck
