@iancowie Good to see honesty and recognising that not every investment goes as planned. Hard to be so open, well done @iancowie.

@MarkDampier @fundhunter_co @HenryPryor Sadly this is all too true. Artificially supporting any market avoids a crisis in the short term, but does long term damage.

@MarkDampier @NickBritton_ @AICPRESS @ACACompliance Spot on, no point inventing something no one needs.

@Cunningham_UK @dontdelay @Gibson_XL It adopted the approach of trying to grow quickly and then look to become profitable. Works for some businesses but not all.

@DanielleLevster @ii_couk I don’t see Anderson’s retirement, which would largely be a personal decision is linked to the rotation in markets and geopolitical tensions. This just seems coincidence to me.

@Angryma53358701 It’s a nice to have, but the challenge is not leaving excessive cash on the sidelines for too long. Great if you have the cash though.

It is understandable markets are falling and investors are concerned as the Ukraine conflict develops, but what can they do? Some thoughts - i) Don’t panic buy to sell ii) Remind yourself of your financial plan iii) Review your investments. Are they still good quality?

[Adrian Lowcock @AdrianLowcock]

@MarkDampier Absolutely, Great tip.

[Adrian Lowcock @AdrianLowcock]

@MarkDampier @Albion__Ben I think the point is bear markets are frequently shorter lived than bull markets. But investors should be aware they can be brutal and sadly for some (If you panic) they can lead to a permenant loss of wealth.

2021 U.K. GDP growth of +7.5% does indeed make it fastest growing economy in G7. But two caveats that will get drowned out: At -9.4% the U.K. had the largest 2020 GDP fall so had furthest to rebound. Also at ~1% QoQ in Q3 & Q4 the current GDP “run rate” is mid-range for the G7

Delighted to have completed and passed the CFA's certificate in ESG investing. The qualification gives you a thorough understanding of the issues in this area of investing, well worthwhile course. #investing #ESG #keeplearning

[Adrian Lowcock @AdrianLowcock]

This is an interesting example of ESG and potential unintended consequences. Should investors and other interested parties exclude or should they engage businesses to improve ESG? https://t.co/0woHUXnx08

Always think carefully when mixing your passions or hobbies with anything that looks like an investment.

@imogent_ Nice peice. I remember the warnings many of us put out about P2P at the time. It will have its place but needs to evolve and mature.

[Adrian Lowcock @AdrianLowcock]

@AlanJLSmith @MavenAdviser Aren’t we always. Human nature to worry.

[Adrian Lowcock @AdrianLowcock]

@sarahoconnor_ Agree looks bad now but you have explore these things to come up with new ideas.
