Hope you are right techieman. I have an oeic which I juggle around the funds and shares in China oil & gas production which I dare not move....... lost about 40% after a few years most of it last few months.......nothing big but relying on this to cushion me when I visit UK next year. Need a rally to get out and cut the losses........... Ouch!.
