Look, I’m not a fund manager, haven’t studied economics since the 1970s but have been doing this a long time; so here’s what I think. Noone likes stock markets going down, but they do and will, e, and, if you hang on, they go up more than they go down. Most funds are as Brexit-proofed as they can be (they’ve had long-enough) and Trump wants everything to go up so he can get reelected before he goes to jail; so will sort out his various trade wars pretty quickly. All in all, who knows, could be a great time to invest.

Diesel at my local filling station now costs over £7.50 a gallon (kids etc.). Not my problem these days, but I’m sadly old enough to remember the furore in the 1970s when the price went up to 50p a gallon.
