Ah Jenny,
I see (pun) your problem. . . . you need to be blessed with 20/20 FORESIGHT, not hindsight!
Seriously, let it settle and take its time. If one buys high and sells after a drop out of fear, then over time your investment pot will be nil. They do rise and fall, and rise again, sometimes on news but often it is just sentiment. Successful investors usually hold for a long time with shares in companies that are modern, innovative, board of directors with some having a good previous track record and what one perceives as an increasing market with little competition. Gains on FTSE are usually modest but usually beat inflation if dividends are reinvested. Some are pure gambling. Whereas AIM is potentially bigger reward but bigger risk - was anyone here in SXX a while back? Thankfully, I swerved to avoid SXX at the last minute as it didn't tick enough boxes but I felt the anguish of posters on the BB in the final days.
Looking at my holdings, most have been down this week. Next week may be different but most people have other things on their minds like end of lockdown and holidays so we could be in for an uninspiring summer markets wise. You never know, improving far east economies may pep things up generally or interest rates and Fed expansion may be a drag.
I hope my sarcasm hasn't offended as none was intended.
Have a good weekend.
See you around. 1N
