The FTSE 100 managed to claw back this morning's drop and finished in positive territory for the day, albeit the FTSE 250 fell by 60 points.Not bad considering the news from Nice and elsewhere.

Yeah, the Nice terror attack and the return of the oil supply glut seem to have hit market sentiment today (although the FTSE 100 has recovered much of it's early drop) despite the good news from China overnight. Still, the trend in all major markets since June 24th continues to be UP. Are you...

There were 3 or 4 posts in an ongoing discussion leading up to that one. The context was: The point that was being discussed was the fact that the FTSE has gone up in sterling terms but down in dollar terms. The dollar value is pretty much irrelevant to nearly everyone on NSC (and in the UK)...

Of course, you have completely ignored the context in which my statement was made, BRAVO. Keep on talking everything down but you still won't get your wish - economic meltdown.

It's a SIPP, it's well diversified and I'm in income drawdown. I'm NOT worse off than I was 3 weeks ago whatever you may say.

The dollar or Euro value is irrelevant. It's mumbo jumbo.

My pension pot is in sterling. It's gone up. It's real money

Good job my portfolio is all in sterling, as I'm sure most NSCers pensions and ISAs are.

Around 5680 and 15700 on December 31st then.

But didn't you know that the FTSE 250 is much more representative of the British economy? Up another 0.6% today.

That would have upset the SNP.

My portfolio is up over 3% so far this month. Can we have another Brexit next month?

Only 6km from St Kilda and with the Mornington Peninsula at your front door. Very nice area.

Whereabouts in Melbourne are you moving to? I've stayed there a few times (St Kilda, Williamstown).

The FTSE 250 and the All Share aren't doing badly.
