Another 9% and it's officially a bear market. Given it fell 3.4% last week, that could be in place soon. But I don't think there's enough to turn the bull market around yet. Economies are growing and there is nowhere else yet to put money, until interest rates rise considerably more. In the absence of geopolitical shocks, I feel the market will continue to bounce around, before continuing the bull market to a new high.

The benchmark FTSE 100 has dropped 11% so far this year, making it the world's worst performing major index.

the market is nowhere near pricing in a serious recession - too many new investors I see these days don't even know what a proper crash looks like.... reminds me of '06 and '98 and even '87.... being an old man I've seen 'em all.

seems in every cycle there's always a new bunch of over confident investors who get to see what hubris feels like.

Phil, if you look at some of the UK consumer cyclicals, motor retailers etc,
some peaked late 2015. So at best we are late cycle here.

[philanderer] 23/3/2018 09:43

Looks as though the market is starting to price in for a recession down the road.

Holts - hope you are enjoying your ciggies mate

The fall in bond yields late yesterday was supportive.

[andyj] 23/3/2018 07:15

Was definitely an interesting late 3% upward move, particularly against the strong downward momentum of the market. The first signal that the market feels they are oversold.

Yep, ftse100 futures showing -100pts now

[holts] 22/3/2018 21:36

[philanderer] 22/3/2018 18:04

All of the Ftse 100 are unpredictable.

[jezza123] 22/3/2018 16:40

only thing blue today as far as I can see.

I know the health benefits of IQOS are disputed depending on which research one believes, but from my own experience the benefits have been substantial. My cough vanished, my breathing improved dramatically and my heart rate when running has plummeted. There are millions like me, who don't want to give up smoking enough to give up. IQOS tick both boxes and they, or something like them, are the future for smokers. For tobacco companies they are ideal in that they are addictive but with considerably less stigma, they will replace lost revenues.Many will be happy to pay more for the health benefits but most smokers in developing countries will not be able to afford them. As competition increases and production costs fall, I suspect there will be a race to market them to the masses.

Andy, good to hear you kicked the sticks, PM's huge investment in IQOS not waisted then!.

The unchanged did not last long. That is fine, expediating the journey to the area 20 to 22 that interests me for adding to my investment here. One of my very few core long term holdings.

[essentialinvestor] 22/3/2018 10:25

Andy, good to hear your experience.
