Will / could this plunge us back into recession ? I.e by making lending criteria harder
Why is oil down to $40 a barrel ? - will this have an effect
Does anybody have any thoughts ?
Having been thro a few in 30 years of trading I don't know if I want to go through another
Maybe it's time to sell and move to sunnier climes

the world economy depends on demand from China, which is falling, and visibility is difficult because you are relying on a secretive state to keep the money flowing

just look at how much they've spent on western assets, on building infrastructure and becoming a first world economy. if Cina crashes, the knock on effect for many of our industries is big

still, we mustn't overreact

You r first instinct should be to buy on falls and not to sell.  These things are going to happen several times between now and when you stop investing.  You just have to get used to it and move on.

Sell offs get compounded by modern day trading tools

Punters take positions with spread bets (tax free on any profit)

Market falls, margin levels get hit, punter cant afford to service the open position so they have to sell sell sell

The effect on pension funds / isas is a loss of 10/20% ? Previously my pension fund plunged from £120k to £80 k ,although markets recovered in 15? Months it took a lot longer 4 years ? At least for my pension fund to get back to £120 k which it was recently I dread to think what its value is now , I stopped paying into it some years ago for this reason and put more into an isa lol

The super whale Paul Newey predicted on his comical twitter page at the start of the year that there would be a big stock market crash this year.  I am unsure tbh.

I didn't like the fella much before I knew he had Twitter.

After 3 minutes perusing his timeline I can confirm my initial impression was correct.
