Which is totally the wrong way of looking at it. Just think how many years of growth you have missed out on. A dip over a few days is meaningless.

When trump was playing daft buggers over tarrifs last time, my investments dropped about 12%. However since then, its not only rebounded, but added another 10% on top of that.
You always get these things happening, but when you zoom out of the returns graph, each big drop just looks like a small blip over the longer term.

If youve only just started, then its a good thing for you as youre starting off with discounted prices. Buy the dip.
The cynic might suggest Trump is doing this on purpose to buy cheap stock & become richer when he u-turns & markets bounce back

I recommend you look at vouched for which has reviews of advisers, also look at
You must be logged on to see external links
which lists Certified Financial Planners in your area, they have all gone through a v tough process to attain that qualification and should be able to help. For the investment options I would veer towards a portfolio using tracker funds and ideally one that invests across the whole world, with a % of shares that you’re comfortable with.

A dip should be also seen as a chance to buy at discounted rates imo

Most of the growth this year has been driven by tech stocks, up to 60-80% according to analysts. I've locked in much of my growth from those and put the profit into old world blue chips that have a history of weathering storms.
I'm worried tech stocks are close to a major correction, all it will take is one bad earnings report from someone like Nvidia for the sell off to begin. I am of the opinion that microsoft, oracle, meta etc. are inflating their earnings by extending the useful life of their AI chips and server hardware, and are ignoring how quickly they become obsolete.

Get it put in your SIPP and just don’t invest in funds till you’re ready.
Good idea

Stick it in a money market fund in your SIPP for an easy 4% untill you're ready to invest in equities.

And just like that the tariffs threat is dropped and he says no possibility of force to take Greenland
Expect markets back to exactly where they were last week by this time tomorrow

100% this.
I think the older of the big tech stocks (Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet) are big enough, clever enough and have enough can't-do-without products to weather such a storm, but Tesla and Nvidia look hugely overvalued. Nvidia is the luckiest company in the world - at the vanguard of the two biggest gold rushes of the 21st century, entirely by accident. I would short them if I could find a platform that would let me buy LEAPs easily as a retail investor.
