Have to say, all the economic and stock-market outlook stuff I’m getting from both pundits and fund managers is overwhelmingly positive atm. Austerity is dead, and governments of all types will pump in money to support everything that moves and some things that don’t. We’ve all (well, the luckier of us all) been saving an average of £182 per week during lockdown as we can’t drive or go out, so will have money to burn. And interest rates are so low that investing in shares is the only viable option. A lot of ‘what ifs’, of course, come immediately to mind. But the sun’s shining, so I’m happy to go for a 2m-soon-to-be-1m+ socially-distanced picnic and soak up the good news for a change.
