I'm happy with a 25+ year trend.
Bit more than 10 years but don't you worry yourself, you don't have to buy any, it's just my input into this thread in comparison to shares.
Unless something has changed that I don't know about, I think you'll find Labour reneged on that as soon as they got the keys to no. 10. Tories made similar promises too. Of course, they're promises from trecherous politicians so not worth a light.
I read something about a lifetime cap on fees of something like £78k (rather than until the money runs out) due to happen late this yearbut it may well have been an old story. You and Notch will be more up to date than me.

We will see if this recovery continues towards the end of the week. So far it looks like Friday was a good day to buy.

I took my own advice and bought a lump of a few stocks this morning, which happilly jumped 15% or so, but the prices are much lower than they were a couple of months ago.
Or a couple of days ago.
People using those "cheap index funds" are stll sick as parrots.
Last time the market jumped 10% in a day it was down 6 and 4 in the next two days.. Looking now at Japan and HK that's not likely.
Traders are all cheering the volatility.
The stocks which rose 20% ish today will probably carry on.
Opportunities abound to ride the rises and falls, but personally I still wish the bullet hadn't hit his ear..
Gold is up 3% so still way below where it was a few days ago..

Why?
You can turn it to cash, earning 5% or whatever as interest, or shove it in a Money Market fund at building society rates(CGT), or trade with it, where it is. You don't earn more outside the ISA, and you can only put back whatyou take out.
You can grow it there as much as you like, though Rachel may be putting limits on that.
One time I looked there were only a few people in the country with more than £1m in an ISA, but it's not such an exclusive club to be in now, I'm sure.
I most actively trade in one at Trading212 buthe range of funds lis limited.
AJ Bell is my favourite - small fees, good screener, easy to switch funds. Quicker and cheaper than ii. Standing fees are higher than ii but transaction are less. Invest Engine and Fidelty are worth considering if you're looking. Hargreaves L is easy to use but costs more and they're silly about selling part of a fund - it stops you selling the rest, for several days.
HSBC is horrible. I sold a lump last week, and it still shows it as owned, and with a reducing value every day, so you can't look at the balance, ever,
Has Trump and his team been shorting the market?
Of course they have, happens everywhere. How many Labour MP's had bets on he election date before it was announced.
