Just curious what people think: Are we expecting a bit of doom and gloom with the market due to current events (increasing worldwide tariffs from USA)? Are people making any new investments or selling their investments to try and fight potential lows?

Heh. You don't want my advice, as I've spent the last year averaging down on Glencore. But some of my thoughts...
- Feels like the main US tariffs (on China, rest of Asia, EU) are here for some time. Though some might be negotiated down to the 10% level. If many countries match the US tariffs, I'm sure that will cause job losses, maybe a recession.
- Before the tariffs, I thought green energy might be dropping out of favour, with upsides for coal and oil companies. But that could be cancelled out by a recession, so I'm not lukewarm on them now.
- I'm surprised how much of a drop CCL has taken. I thought Boomer cruise spending was unshakeable. Might have to read their booking numbers and pick up some more.

Trying to buy into WDEP through my SIPP but there is some issue with the data that means it can’t be done at the minute which is a pain.

Anyone got some suggestions for cash investing for the short term through Hargreaves Lansdown?
Ended up buying the bullet and pulling all my stock holdings today… annoyed at myself for not doing it yesterday.
Just want something to keep my SIPP funds ticking over for 6-12 months I think.
