Just checked the value of my pension fund, and I see it's lost 11% of its value since the beginning of March.

So that's nice.

Thanks, Donald.

So the mayor of crazytown’s telling people not to be stupid… I say go nuts and send him to hell in a handcart…

It's not business as usual. We're witnessing extreme (and needless) market turmoil. If you ever feel bad about making a mistake: rest easy, you haven't lost the stock market $5 trillion in a couple of days.

My pension pot is pretty small. Don't want to lose much more, thanks. (No, it's not just US citizens' pensions getting pulverised at the moment.)

The only good thing: I'm not close to retiring, so I can wait for things to settle and improve. Colleagues closer to retirement age will be affected more.

And, yes, some people are profiting from this. It's just not the average citizen, sadly.

Really hope the EU and the UK will get their act together and not give in. Fingers crossed.
