Thanks a lot guys. A lot of useful information in here. I'm gonna go through each post, do thorough research over this weeekend and see what the market looks like Monday and take it from there. Any other help is appreciated as always but thanks for all the contributions this far.

Thanks for all the helpful replies guys. Just two more questions if you don't mind. 1. I was advised to buy when it's on the way back up rather than down, as that's when you know the scare is over. From an experienced opinion, would the current market be too volatile for me to catch the build...

Well, I know we can never know when the "perfect time" is, but I just mean it appears there has been a massive correction. From what I've been told the SP500 has always come back stronger in the end so I guess I'm just saying is this a strong dip to start investing with a high chance of...

Hi guys, Maybe a silly question and I know I'm gonna get quite varied opinions on this but is this the perfect time to invest in the SP500? I've been looking at the stock market for about a year and remember guys saying the markets usually have a correction every 10 years and one is due. So, is...

No probs. Thanks for your time. I completely understand what you're getting at. I will be transferring the property over in three years time. The only reason I'm not doing it now is due to legality issues but as soon as it's possible I'll be doing it and there will still be mortgage payments...

Thanks for all the replies guys. I will add some more context to my situation as you guys have given some solid advice and I guess it will help with my decision. Are you doing the UK investments based on Brexit? Do you think it's a thing where the UK will slowly build back up which will lead...

Hi Guys, After coming on this site a while ago and doing research, I decided not to go into trading after some much appreciated advice. The dilemma I have is that I still have £70K in life savings getting little to no return. I was wondering if you guys would recommend me piling it all into the...

Man... 10 years ago, £50k could've gone so far, but in this day and age, it's not enough to get anything substantial (a house etc.). I will look into trading more, read books as you guys have mentioned while also trying to some sim trading to get a right idea/feel of the experience and see if I...

I appreciate such detailed responses, thanks again. I think I find the idea of learning to trade intimidating. Like, even some of these responses in here sound so detailed and complex, I do worry that I'm never gonna really know or understand what I'm actually doing. I know that should be my...

Thanks for all the helpful responses guys. Ok, it sounds like it's still very much risky so I think I'll refrain from using that strategy as I'm too worried to lose savings I've earned my whole life (I have a job, that's how I save, for the guy said that). Just two more questions if you guys...

Hi guys, I've recently looked up trading as a potential way to increase my life savings. I currently have £50k. Being honest, I think trading may be too complex for me to grasp for a living, but I have one quick question. If I flung my £50k into a trading account (I know we're warned to only...
