I was watching system1 to see if it might pull back, and it has. Another AIM faller. A bit small for my taste and could of course drop further, but looks quite interesting to me. #sys1.l

Not much to post on here lately. I'm fully invested, the market is doing nothing until the budget is over and neither am I. I am looking forward to getting past it and I'm quietly optimistic we can finish the year strong. That's obviously more of a hope than a prediction. 🤞🏻

Down a shocking 0.2% the last quarter. Up 11.48%ytd. Its felt a bit of a slog lately. 1 step forward, 1 back. A good week then a poor week. A share goes up, another comes down. I'm happy with all my holdings though (a couple on the naughty step) so 🤞🏻 for a good last qt.

Thanks, I'll check that out. A lot of these sites are based on index investors. If one is a stock picker who on average beats the market, but with varying results, it gets complicated.

I haven't. I'll check that out thanks.

This is helpful. So do you withdraw 10% or is that your assumed return only and you withdraw less?

Thanks. I'll dig into that when I have more time. It needs my full attention!

If anyone on here lives on their investment returns and would like to share how they calculate their withdrawal %, I'd love to hear it. 3-4% SWR is standard for index investors but active investors? Who can beat the market? How do you get the balance right?

Now 98% invested. On balance I'm more bullish than not. I think there are some decent companies around that are not exactly looking toppy. Still room to grow. I'm also relatively relaxed about the budget. A lot of fear about which is the time to be buying. If only there were an apt quote...

I sold out after the July 18th news about buying shares back with company money to give to management. Maybe it's nothing but it put me off.
