I would be interested to know how many investors are currently in cash. I am 90% in cash with 10% in gold. Like many here I had a good return holding mainly equities over the first 6 months of 2019, achieving just short of 8%, which was greater than my target for the year. But at the end of July I got spooked and sold my shares. I feel that Brexit has not been fully priced into the market, and suspect that a no deal exit will set off more panic in the city. My inclination now is to do nothing until we have had a General Election, which could come over the next 2-3 months. I would be interested to hear what other strategies people are using in these very uncertain times.
Approximately 10% cash so could take advantage of any downturn in next 2 months. But would not want to be more out of market as have learnt that it is too hard to time . The UK market value has also been IMHO held back by Brexit concerns. If the EU situation was seen to be resolved the market could move upward quickly.
