All down for me today apart from my high yield bonds and commodities (CMHY, RIO, BSRT). Another wobble or the start of something worse?

Pretty much the same for me.

Most of it looks like a result of the Pound gaining a solid cent or so though. That and rising fears of inflation.

Asia went mad last week, so maybe a little settlement. SSE composite was still up overnight after the Chinese new year, but not enough to compensate for the Forex shift today.

Doesn't look too worrying.... but watching fairly closely.

I expect increased volatility followed by a small correction, dollar weakness, and a sustained synchronous global recovery for the next 3+ years.

I’m all in for the long term – 100% equities.

I shall hide my head in shame. If there is a wider point it is that my high yield bonds have not gone down. I know that most here despise them as an investment.

Which please?

On the wider point oddly when everything is going down part of me almost feels a bit calmer.

Not good that it's going down but at least if it's pretty much all doing it I don't start doubting my choices too much.

CMHY is my largest junk bond holding.

Time for me to start making more rapid decisions on what to buy, wait for a bargain like a yellow sticker in Sainsbury's then pounce :0
