Another few millionaires/ billionaires adding to their wealth as we speak. Buying lots of shares at the bottom to sell later. Meanwhile, us at the bottom just loose money.

It is OK if you have youth on your side.

£25k down in week due to the orange shitgibbon.
Was having a serious look at retirement but this is not filling me with any confidence

10k down in the fund I was looking to initially retire on, plus the ongoing dispute I have with Aviva over a not insignificant sum they are saying was an error on their part last year
My other fund which is very much US invested, is 16k down. This one I was always planning on leaving invested for a further 10 years

I’m convinced this is why Trump is doing this. He should be jailed.

Don’t worry , now’s the time to ‘buy, buy, buy’
You should be a bit tighter.
It has been a drastic drop but the FTSE is higher than 1 year ago (for now) or pre US election in November 2024.
Just give it a few years.

anybody else think weekend will just allow markets to take a breather? Monday morning could be brutal.

I've just realised that my online valuations are a day behind so yesterday's falls aren't included, which is potentially another 10k

Most people who are invested for their pension will have done so through a SIPP and therefore are not likely to have lots of cash available to have the flexibility to do so. Those lucky enough to have a few £000 in ISAs or other savings may well have the ability to buy in at a lower price-but which particular companies or funds to go for is not easy. My suggestion would be that for all of us in drawdown, either do so from any cash holdings within the SIPP or turn to any other savings to supplement income if required to avoid selling "distressed" funds at a low price.

This.
I think we still have a couple more blows to land before this is done. I expect most of next week to be volatile.

Will be back up within 18 months mate don’t worry too much.
The markets were way oversold coming into this year.
I think this is just the froth from the profligate Biden term being blown away.
If you were counting on that froth for your retirement, then that's silly.
You should have been well in to the low risk assets at this point.
Swings and roundabouts.
It'll get back eventually.

The problem is, it's not is it.
Shares keep on going down.
They will go down on Monday when the markets open again.
Nobody knows if and when Trump is going to put a stop to this.
This could go on for weeks, months, even years until Trump finally gets what he wants or when he is out of office.
There is absolutely no indication Trump is going to end his personal trade war against the world.
In fact, he might increase trade tariffs on countries and on continents that have put new trade tariffs on America.
You can buy shares next week, but in the coming weeks and months they could be worth half or less than what you paid for them, thinking it was the right time to buy.

Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars as part of his economic plan to "supercharge" the US economy.

What do you mean it's not about Trump?
He is the reason why the FTSE, other stock exchanges, and shares have crashed all over the world. He is the reason why my pension is £20k down in the last 2 months. I know people who have lost £80K from their pension since Trump started the trade wars.
Really?
Lol?
You just keep on buying shares now.
It's not about Trump, it's about the FTSE.
One of my pension funds.
The Fund aims to deliver an income return in excess of the income of the FTSE®

What I mean is what I said.
It's not about Trump.
It's about the USA hitting a crisis point and having to do something drastic else it will (literally) fall apart.
I'm not advocating for tariffs or Trump btw just incase you are getting the vapours.
Doesn't matter who's in the hot seat, Trump, Biden (lol) or Kamila. The USA has to do something to tackle it's debt burden.
This is that.
