We are at a very delicate time for global markets and a very touchy moment for the UK and its FTSE 100 index.
It is quite possible that the roof is about to come in for a big crash in stock markets around the world and the UK will not escape if this happens.
Its simply all down to whether the Federal Reserve pivots before Christmas or not, from its ‘Volker’ style punish the world to drive out inflation tactic to a more pragmatic, 5%+ inflation for a few years strategy. If it does not pivot then the pain the Fed predicts will be death through a collapse of asset prices.
Those asset prices are stocks and real estate and the collapse of that wealth will pull the rug on inflation for sure…. ‘ buddy can you spare me a dime’ style.
But do not despair, if you can dodge the bullet you can party like the Great Gatsby in 1925, except it’ll be 2025. (Maybe steer clear of the swimming pool)
Income investors will be offered a beautiful array of UK dividend stocks to load up on the cheap. To look at these shares now you will be forgiven in thinking they are already on sale but any crash will crush them along with every other share in the index.
Here is a list of the top 15 blue chip dividend stocks.
15 stocks makes a pretty solid portfolio as far a diversification goes and heaven knows the tailing yield on them if the market drops like a brick.
Here is a chart to make you gasp.
However 6000 on the FTSE would do wonders for yield, under 5000 would spin all our heads.
The key thing is not to worry about catching the bottom, its more important to miss the top and/or be ready with funds after the worst has passed.
You can continue to buy and hold and simply get funds additional funds ready if things get nasty, but that takes a level of stoicism few are gifted with.
It will only take another shock somewhere in the financial globe to set off a rout and until the US reverses its runaway dollar policy, fragility will be in charge.
However as well as a giant threat it is a huge opportunity, so wy not take care of both sides of the equation.

15 UK stocks to buy when the balloon goes up.
We are at a very delicate time for global markets and a very touchy moment for the UK and its FTSE 100 index.
It is quite possible that the roof is about to come in for a big crash in stock markets around the world and the UK will not escape if this happens. It might actually do worse than many because the UK stock market is systemically weak, its politics in chaos and it might just get worse still.
Its simply all down to whether the Federal Reserve pivots before Christmas or not, from its ‘Volker’ style punish the world to drive out inflation tactic to a more pragmatic, 5%+ inflation for a few years strategy. If it does not pivot then the pain the Fed predicts will be death through a collapse of asset prices.

Income investors will be offered a beautiful array of UK dividend stocks to load up on the cheap. To look at these shares now you will be forgiven in thinking they are already ‘on sale’ but any crash will crush them along with every other share in the index and their trailing dividend will shoot up even higher.
Here is a list of the top 15 blue chip dividend stocks.
15 stocks makes a pretty solid portfolio as far a diversification goes and heaven knows the tailing yield on them if the market drops like a brick. Whats more they are ‘safe’ companies so their dividends should be supportable to a great extent even if economies are in trouble as a whole.
Here is a chart to make you gasp.
The FTSE at 6000 would do wonders for yield, under 5000 would spin all our heads.
The key thing is not to worry about catching the bottom, its more important to miss the top and/or be ready with funds after the worst has passed.
You can continue to buy and hold and simply get additional funds ready if things get nasty, but that takes a level of stoicism few are gifted with. Personally I’m out of the market and waiting.
It will only take another shock somewhere on the financial globe to set off a rout and until the US reverses its runaway dollar policy, fragility will be in charge.
However as well as a giant threat, this is a huge opportunity, so why not take care of both sides of the equation and have this list on file in the above chart really does make that incredible low.
