October 19th, 1987. The Dow fell 22.6% in one session, no war, no bank collapse, no obvious cause.
The real story was portfolio insurance programs, everyone running the same strategy, turning a dip into one enormous sell button.

Record highs aren’t putting investors off UK equities, they’re drawing them in.

Great to see the Financial Times covering IG’s latest trading data, showing retail investors leaning into the UK market as the FTSE 100 hits fresh all-time highs.

Some of the standout numbers:

📈 Average daily FTSE 100 trades on IG up 41% year-on-year in July
👥 UK & Ireland clients trading FTSE 100 stocks on course to rise ~34% week-on-week
🇬🇧 Rather than taking profits, many investors believe the rally still has further to run

Our Chief Market Analyst Chris Beauchamp told the FT that UK equities are drawing attention for their lower valuations, dividend appeal and limited AI exposure, even as concerns over US tech spending weigh on parts of that market.

Special thank you to Steve Johnson for the write-up!

Most people know they should be investing. Few actually know where to start.

Financial literacy should be taught everywhere. Until then, start small and start now.

The Magnificent 7 had a quiet first half of 2026. Down 1.2% while Industrial Metals gained 20%, Telecoms 13.7%, and Utilities 5.9%.

Sometimes the boring trade is the right one. With four of the seven reporting earnings this week, all eyes are back on whether the AI spending story still holds up.

What would you do with £10k? 💰

Start a food truck. Buy into semiconductors. Put it towards a deposit. Dig a bit and go on a really nice holiday.

Oh, and invest in whatever makes cooking obsolete apparently.

Everyone’s got a plan. The question is whether it’s working for you.

Best thing you’ve ever done with your money? 💸

A dinghy. A rice cooker. A master’s degree. A guitar. A car sold to mum at the same price.

And apparently, a good partner counts too.

Everyone’s got a different answer.
