I've seen the result of someone getting just one bare fist
punch on their right eye and it was shocking.
I saw it live.
I couldn't believe that one punch could do that much damage
until I saw it for myself.

I'd rather just grow old gracefully at this stage though.

Tips, please.

I am ready chuck it all in but it would be my first time so I am not sure what i'm in for. As the guy said in Monty Python - 'what's it like?'

What's it like not working?

A few years back I took 10 months off. I was lost.
Going from 65+ hour weeks to nothing was very unsettling to me.
I don't think I'll ever retire fully....semi retire for me I think. Still to young anyway.

My work is all in the head. Law, psychology, money. All make belief.

DOW now -8.05%

https://edition.cnn.com/business/live-news/stock-market-news-today-030920/index....

The S&P 500 plummeted 7% at the open, tripping circuit breakers that briefly halted trading at the New York Stock Exchange.

The Dow has fallen 8.1%, tumbling nearly 2,100 points. If it closes at that level, it would be the worst day for the Dow since October 26, 1987.

Other economically-sensitive stocks also fell sharply Monday, including large American banks. JPMorgan Chase tumbled 13%, while Bank of America plunged 16%.

Reply #51 - Mar 10^th, 2020 at 6:00am Putin is panic selling oil and defying Saudi and US outputs. Toilet paper barter for oil is the way for Scomo , maybe fill an empty dam somewhere. Oil hydro power in the Snowy will promote carbon over renewable.

This is what happens in a free market. No government intervention like first home buyers grants and deposits to help stop house prices from crashing. There is nothing like this for the share market and you can see the results !!
