Maybe we should just sell everything

Better we don't.

Hmm - not sure if this is correct

but according to the latest report I am only 0.023 % up compared to my investment

I am sure a couple of months ago I was up over 10% !!

I'm afraid the election result and differences over BREXIT approach have wreaked havoc with the share market over the past weeks. I've been watching. Where were were ~12% up on our United Utilities investment we are now 8% down - about a 20% swing south. I imagine this has a lot to do with the potential of the Tory government collapsing and Mr Corbyn getting in and nationalising them. It seems that we should have sold this share when it was at the all-time high. This has happened twice now, to some extent, with this share and next time it happens, which I expect it will, we'll need to consider selling moreover holding for the income.

I'm not so sure the recent downturn in our portfolio is because the companies we hold shares in are "bad" - it is just another change in the tide. We need to be prepared for that kind of change in the wind.

I think we need to remain positive and continue as we have been. Most of our investments are long-term and as such we should be comfortable sitting tight and riding storms out and caution against selling just because we were up and are now about even again.
