That's sad, Dona....big day for the market? Now that's really sad to think that way when they're being bombed left, right and center.....and a hospital, of all things. Hope this fiasco doesn't get worse and travel around the globe. Hope citizens don't start a war of their own on home soil :(

a big news day. Sad and bad .. Sorry if i gave the wrong impression.
 
No, no, no need to be sorry. After all, we are in the market, so it's natural for us to think that way, myself included....so may I ask, which sector do you think is going to move? I know this sounds bad, can't help myself....

PS, it crossed my mind you may not be thinking what I was thinking, Dona

hard one to answer, Often, the beginning of conflict turns out to be best time to buy. But we have such flux in the geopolitical landscape, and moved from globalisation to power rivalries , its scary. And panic may not be far away.

that's a given ..lol

Agree there, get in early at the start of conflict....appears late to be chasing now.

What surprised me is this: so much uncertainty, but the consumer sector hasn't moved up. If anything, it's stagnant. Investors can't be too worried about the war, inflation etc. Appears to me they aren't worried about food, grains....so the market can't be that bad, or the fear factor, I concluded. Am I wrong?

what's the expression; sleepwalking to disaster?

we assume the systems are robust, and by definition we don't know what/ when the black swans will be, but the uncertainty is clearly there. So keep an eye on things, Risk Off but not yet to the bunker.
 
Hmm, yes, things could be rosier, but maybe we'll keep sleepwalking until next year or next. Meanwhile, I'm trying to 'waterproof' my humble abode at the same time singing about the sun shining.

this is all true. I'm contemplating selling my place and moving, have a few family in / out of hospital , so the focus is often elsewhere.

I think I'm sufficiently "sandbagged" to withstand crap, and am grateful for many things. Enjoy the day

Sorry to hear that some of your family members aren't well, Dona. All the best, hope things turn out well for all of you. Enjoy your day under the circumstances. I'll log out and do some serious work......good luck everyone.
 
what's the expression; sleepwalking to disaster?
i was thinking ' climbing a wall of worry '

but yes your expression might be appropriate as well

maybe they are not willing to 'buy the rumor ' this time

i note some LICs are holding cash at comparatively high levels for that team/fund
 
If my LIC ever goes to cash , I'll dump 'em right away.
5% cash at the moment. I can live with that.
They charge nearly 100 basis points so, work for it . Money managers ? Well , manage !
I can do "cash" myself. Doing it right now, in fact. It's easy.
And it's dumb.
that depends on the LIC style , some are very opportunistic ( and relatively skilled traders in the short medium term )

and some have selected companies that have been recently taken-over and are struggling for sensible places to invest it

i also boldly assume 'cash ' is a euphemism for money put into short-term money market devices

i hold a range of LICs from ( boring old ) BKI , to ( aggressive and opportunistic ) CDM , , and each does what it does well when the market plays their game ( and i tend to buy those LICs when the market is raining bricks at them )

BTW i try to buy LICs that are good at things i can't do ( profitably ) like short-sell , trade/invest in international shares ( and IPOs )

i do not mind the high fees if they are racking up the returns ( most of the time ) not just beating obscure 'performance hurdles '
