The index you want is HMEF .....emerging markets; low cost and significant growth.
Will the FTSE climb above 7000 this week? Seems to be riding the crest of a wave now; will it last?
The FTSE as a bellwether is now as relevant as a canaries employment prospects in a coal mine .
Cheapshareboy,
I agree with you - but am not able to find good stocks that are undervalued on FTSE 350. Do you have recommendation?
Absolutely agree! FTSE if anything is one of the most undervalued indices. Like CheapSharesBoy said - There are some seriously undervalued companies out there. Not using this information/not understanding this information is a bigger risk than actually investing in FTSE!
Get it right.
You don't have to buy the index you buy undervalued shares within the FTSE index.
There are a fair few multibaggers within ftse350.
Good value which is why I been buying.
If you want to, go but Dow Jones. It's just a little overvalued I'm afraid.
the footsie 100 is a spent force , rule brittania went south years ago
Transferring it to a SIP, so I'll have a nice wedge to invest in something, that should have said.
It will not be the FTSE.
I'm just looking at a chart here, that shows the FTSE 100, the Dax and the CAC 40.
You tell me if I'm right to form this opinion.
In the order I've listed above, performance figures over 5 years;
9.6 %, 52.53% and 39.18%
2 years;
- (minus)7.46%, 30.21% and 12.43%
1 year;
22.25%, 55.81% and 38.24%
I've just found a Serps pension that I started in 1987(!) that's done next to nothing, so I'm transferring it to a SIPP.
Even with dividends I'm not sure why anyone would be throwing money at the FTSE.
Undervalued? Possibly so, but I don't see it going anywhere with the energy stocks being such a large part of it.
It seems way too unbalanced in it's constituents, imo.
Hmmmm! Let me think about it? I have thought "No Chance"
A lot of companies have either merged, di-merged or been bought during that period. You neglect to mention the profit from those companies and more importantly dividends.
The FTSE grew rapidly from 1986 to 2001 peeking just before your start point. It regressed from 2001 - 2009 and has grown fast again from 2008-2021. £10k invested in 1986 with dividends re-invested is now worth £195,852. Annualised rate of growth is 7.75% or after inflation (ARR) 5.05%. The last 10 years has actually seen average growth 7.38% with lower inflation.
I do think the FTSE has under-performed compared to other markets and see some current upside to investing. This is a mature market which is unlikely to grow as fast as others in the long run. It has been a good dividend payer and a good history of companies acquired at a premiums for investors. There's a nice 50p dividend (£5bn pay-out from Tesco arriving on friday).
If an investor had bought £1,000 of the shares of all the companies on the FTSE 100 on January 31 2001 and sold them on July 31 of this year, she would have lost £63.48, a price return of -6.3%, even before you take inflation into account.

The agenda in the US has now moved towards "it doesn't matter how large the national debt is". We can expect more stimulus USD900bn, then USD 1,900bn and then some more. The IMF has now said it was a mistake to curtail Greek spending in the financial crisis, so we could expect more political pressure to do the same in EU and UK. This approach will weaken the dollar but also stimulate the economy and spending. It will create more global cash that needs a home and the FTSE has benefited from this in the last 4months.
I think the FTSE will still move up this year. Corporate earnings are predicted to rise 36% in 2021, resumption of some dividends and hopefully Covid restrictions removed. I see 7,000 being hit in the next couple of months, a summer pull back and then finish above 7,200 a year end. All unless debt becomes an issue again for those who are never going to have to pay it back.
I forgot to mention that the short trade is also supported by rising sterling...
Unfortunately I can't add a chart image here but I drew support and resistance lines on the daily and it shows a very clear ascending triangle with FTSE breaking the lower line today. A close below 6740 and ideally below 6670 would help confirm this and target support at around 6420. DYOR but it looks a good short trade to me with a stop at 6820 for a 3-1 reward/risk.
Denby you are not a Muppet.
But stock market does not equal economy.
Some rare stocks even benefit from downturn.
So even in HARD TIMES, it's not a guarantee of stocks going down. Stocks only represent parts of the economy, not the whole. On top of that, it eventually reflects the best parts of economy as poor stocks fall out of the indices.
HERE IS ONE negative Muppets THAT THINK THAT WE HAVE NOT HIT HARD TIMES YET.
Just a bubble. which will pop.
We haven't been in that position since being crippled with debt and infrastructure destroyed after WWII so unless anyone is over 75 I don't think we have ever seen that time. We are still 5th largest economy in the world, although most likely to have been overtaken by the 1bn in India now.
By land mass we are the 2nd most productive nation in the G20.
The FTSE and Britisn is no longer perceived as a financial or economic powerhouse and takes its direction from others not set direction
I said a few months ago that FTSE is cheap when it was under 6000. Some negative Muppets objected.
I say it's still cheap. Undervalued comparing to some other markets. Now that we know what brexit is like, there is no hindrance of uncertainty.
FTSE will rise to 8000 and until it does, it's cheap.
And I didn't even mention Brexit uncertainty...for those numpties who predicted such. I think commodity prices are driving things this week plus maybe we've become immune to the pain of lockdown. Whatever, it just shows how investors need not to panic and to take a long term view. Fingers crossed...and everything else...for swift vaccine roll out and effectiveness...and full dividend reinstatements....GLA
Yea been 95% invested since October 100% since brexit done.Been banking on fast roll out vaccines in uk and see how effective they are at stopping COVID.Uk has so underperformed it was only matter off time before it catch’s up.
