In my experience, within a year or two of any major decline, most stocks will be way above where they were before the drop. Seen it in 2001, 2008, 2016, 2020. Can’t see this being any different. The main thing is to have investments spread across multiple sectors and regions. Too much in one pot could crash and never recover.But surely that only applies if you leave it long enough to get back to where you were before the loss.

With the downturn in share prices, but the new financial year inbound and on the back of terrible instability.
Does anyone have thoughts on something worth investing in? It might sound grim, but it's the current world we live in.
Autonomous vehicles is something I have been keeping an eye on.

Unexpected 1.6% rise.
Can see more volatility ahead though. Hopefully, get to Easter with a few positive days.
And for us GGP sufferers up 10% today.

Keeping an eye on GGP with a view to putting the upcoming ISA allowance in their shares.
Who knows what things will look like this time next week though.

It took around 7 years after the 2000 crash, then crashed again, really took until 2014 to see real growth.
Certainly not a year or two.

GGP MRE published today with fairly spectacular figures. Today’s rise didn’t really factor in the Tungsten at O’Callaghan which will significantly boost the SP when it is fully taken into account. I think we’ve got a multi-bagger even from now.Unexpected 1.6% rise.

It took 7 years after 2000 to peak again, and even then the peak was lower than the 1999/2000 peak. However that was just the FTSE-100 index that was caned due to its dot com exposure. My investments had fully recovered long before then mostly due to exposure to the US market, and by mid 2007 they were way ahead.It took around 7 years after the 2000 crash, then crashed again, really took until 2014 to see real growth.

Nice strong gains in Asia overnight. KOSPI up 8%, biggest daily gain in many a year.
Plus GGP up 14% overnight on the ASX.
Should bode well for FTSE gains today.

Another yo yo day so that **** and his bent pals can play the markets.
He'll announce they're launching a ground invasion before the weekend, markets will tank, rinse and repeat. Sell today, buy tomorrow, always comes in handy when you know what's going to happen before it actually does.
You can set your watch by it.

Nice. Isn’t GGP quite a large proportion of yours?Having a great day today led by GGP.

I’m down 6.8% since this started. Only dared look today as I thought it may have not gone down so much so was a shock.
Hopefully better days ahead.

Yes, GGP makes up about a third of my portfolio.Nice. Isn’t GGP quite a large proportion of yours?

I’m still 5.7% down overall since it peaked at the end of Feb but was up 6.5% today and 13% this week so not too worried.

About the same drop, thats with a mix of 85% Equities, 10% Bonds and 5% money market. The numbers look a bit scary in terms of actual pounds but it'll go back up at some point, meanwhile just keep buying the discount.Yes, GGP makes up about a third of my portfolio.

FTSE holding up a lot better than I expected this morning following that Orange-faced ****'s speech.

I think the market has learned to treat Shitgibbon’s bullshit as attempted market manipulation and is no longer fooled into playing along to the extent Trump is hoping for.FTSE holding up a lot better than I expected this morning following that Orange-faced ****'s speech.

I've got a shit load of my SIPP invested in NIO - too much really - and it's way down on my average buying price so I've just got to sit tight. If it ever returns to the all time high of around 5 years ago then I'm quids in and they did achieve their first ever quarterly operating profit in Q4 2025 so hopefully that's a sign of better things to come. As you know, I've also got some invested in GGP but nowhere near as much as in NIO and I'm contemplating sticking some of next year's ISA allowance into GGP next week because from what you've been saying it could go way higher and they have the figures to back that up.Yes, GGP makes up about a third of my portfolio.

Bloody hell there are some gamblers on here. One with a third of their portfolio in one stock and another willing to invest their ISA allowance in a single share. I wish I was able to risk that sort of money in a single company.

It’s become a third because it’s done so well. At its purchase price it would be about 8%.Bloody hell there are some gamblers on here.
