newjez Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Well, it's June, and I've put all my pensions into cash. The market's are a bit choppy for my liking. With potential trade wars I can't see much upside and plenty of downside. Not qualified to give advice - but I have a feeling we may be overdue a correction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbye grey sky Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Can see what you mean. The markets seem to be defying gravity in the face of all the bad news coming out of the USA these days. Perhaps it is the prospect of governments caving and giving corporations even more tax cuts. How do you read the bonds markets?

How do you read the bonds markets? I would normally look towards bonds at a time like this, but I have no faith in the bond markets and don't think interest rates have risen enough for bonds to rise. Have to admit, bond markets have always been a mystery to me. I know the basics but would seek advice before I stepped in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always tell Bitcoin investors they should buy tulip bulbs. They're bound to go back up in price eventually. Get them while the market's still low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishDigger Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Retire on Dividends - https://www.retireondividends.com/peter-thornhill.html I don't know Peter Thornhill and have no association with him but I found the above interview very interesting given that I have a swag of shares in a Listed Investment Company that provides me with capital growth and income through dividends.
