Good post, bags of common sense in it. This will get back to over a quid, but the point I am making is it wil go a lot lower first. The problem with the markets after the march crash were that the liquidity provided by the fed and most importantly the purchase of corporate bonds, artificially inflated the market. They have been buying the bonds of bankrupt companies, it is a bit like the tge UK government buying the bonds of Woolworths and Debenhams.
In March all shares crashed at the same time and nearly all recovered at the same time, so by the time the shares you held recovered, the ones you would have liked to buy when yours crashed, also recovered. You could not be inplaces at once. When the DOW corrects/ crashes, you will find some shares that have fallen on the FTSE will recover when the DOW recovers like they did in March, but not all of them. If you are in the right stock and I think Melrose is one of them, you will be able to sell and will find many that will continue to fall, so you can throw funds into them.
