    @Master do you guys have to work 40 quarters meaning basically 10 years full time as a minimum in order to qualify for your pension?

    To get the full basic State Pension you need a total of 30 qualifying years of National Insurance contributions or credits.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    These days I tend to stick to presenting on macro indexes such as, FTSE100, S&P 500, Gold, Silver, Vix, Crude Oil, Nasdaq 100.

    Puts and Call options are interesting for hedging, but don't have experience of them yet

    Tend to look at it from purely technical chart point of view to tell me what the market might be up to. No fundamental economic considerations, only price.

    Still developments ng my style, but already know myself well enough after many wins and losses to understand risk profile and trading profile.

    May dip into cryptocurrency, as even at this stage there are over 1200 to choose from. Looking at top ten as the rest seem like crowdfunding in another form.

    Crypto still has a long way to go. Wouldn't be surprised to see Bitcoin go to 100,000 plus several years from now. People want an alternative and if you can get ahead too, it is win win.

    Futures and what not look interesting
    But I know not of them. I like the sandp 500 for relative safety. Emerging markets is doing well now. Bitcoin interests me as well but the analysts say it's not a good investment due to manipulation

    The mainstream has been out for Bitcoin from the off. It is a challenge to government and central banks, so it's a big no, no. You shouldn't bet your house on crypto, but IMO it can be part of a balanced position.

    There are some good arguments there, but if you bought Bitcoin at $500 and it is now $2000 plus then it is doing better than anything else out there. If you are going to go out and put everything into it, that is nuts. But a moderate amount in crypto (several interesting ones out there) as well as hedging in other investments seems sensible to me. My thinking is always be willing to lose something. I wouldn't use Bitcoin as a pension plan and even they go bust as do most currencies. I am cynical so I expect everything to turn to poo really.
