I'm a terrible timer except with obvious things like car IPOs etc so I too decided to be a long term holder. Interesting that we both follow that strategy.

Having become increasingly nervous about inflation with maybe low returns from equities and possibly overdue for a large correction, I have been looking for something less likely to lose value. When the market went down at the end of the century it took until 2003 before it started up again. Fortunately my small private pension fund was invested in property so I did not suffer a low value when I took the pension in 2003. The pension income is linked to the All Share Index and has turned out well so far.
I have now liquidated some ETF investments in ISAs and Bought into 2 REITs,
It seems to me that these should both be fairly inflation proof and are invested in property which will benefit from everyone having to eat and growing on line business. They have both gone down recently, presumably because of the driver shortage, but seem to be going up again now.
I used the ISAs because the dividends have a 20% tax reduction which is refundable in an ISA.
What do you think?
Just to report the outcome so far, the Tritax Big Box REIT has gone up by 14.09% in less than 3 months and the Supermarket REIT by 3.98 %. Thave both paid quarterly dividends of around 1%. Both have performed far better than my ETFs which have generally stayed about the same level during that time.

For anyone with a Kindle its that time of year when the new Investment Trust Handbook 2022 is available free (instead of £20 book) and can also be read for investing in general

Isn't it said that the stock market is over-priced owing to savings and bond rates being so poor? Are banks holding savings rates for that reason (it's not as if it's going to be a lot though)? Why might they not be passing on the savings rate? Warning at the beginning of this tax year was that a correction was due... I've not really been able to see where that correction would come from... Nor fully understand why it's rocketed so much apart from apart from the poor savings and bonds rates. Any tips on understanding where a correction might come from, apart from a new variant?

It seems that with US price/earnings ratios having reached such a high level a large correction should be due, which has always happened in the past. However it could be years away so I am reluctant to liquidate holdings now. Maybe the large number of individuals now investing will be less likely to sell out than the few professionals whose panic usually sets off a crash.

No, just something I read somewhere, however I think most investors are in it for the long haul and less worried about being temporarily left behind by their competitors. I am no expert, just guessing really.

This seems to be a favourite thread given the title for scammers with their brand new account and first post offering cosy homes to invest your money with poorly disguised selling, advertising, marketing or simple deceit. Keep them out, report to the admins.
