Any one.else dabble in the stock market ??? Shares are nose diving And could affect pensions Lost nearly 7k today
Jeeeez mate, that's a big hit for one day! Do you just put more money on the stuff now its cheap and hope it comes back?
It’ll recover. These things always do. I’m guessing you’re pension in linked to the FTSE 250 or some such similar index?
I will probably defer taking my pension out at the moment Still a lot of life left in me and I dont need the money (yet anyway) When I took out my first pension I was only 18 year old and 60 seemed a long long time away Now with my 60th birthday coming upon July I have to make the decision whether to take it or leave it for another 5 or 10 year Looking at my personal shares now and they have gone down by 12 US dollars a share Times that by 800 shares Best not to look at the moment
It’s always a long term thing except near to when you’re cashing in. @Hung,Drawn and Quartered @Somebodys pinched my sombrero Are you near pension claiming or can you let it ride for a few more years to pick back up?
I'm near my pension preferred age (60) I do have the option to extend it My Financial Advisor has told me I dont need to take it and can let it ride But it must be a worry for those that dont have that option
I retired last June, turned 60 in September. Haven’t touched it yet, Mrs. Sombrero is still working. Whatever will be, will be, just got to ride the storm out. Not worried at the moment.
Corona virus has ****ed it, need to wait for the effects of that on the markets to pass first, then you buy the ones that fell the most.
