I think the market will suffer for a list another month..a great opportunity to make a small fortune if you are sitting on cash.Take away your fingers of your keyboard for now.

"Cummings crash."

Ha ha

Which will end in a Cummings Catastrophe.

Is anyone placing long term put/call options on LLOY?

If so which broker are you using? IG Index don't offer the facility.

When the dust settles a cheap to buy call option will pay out bigly when the share price rises from oversold.

Which it will IMO.

Careful Copying M2 does not make you famous.. he is a lonely soul..... his technique is unique!Are you trying to tell us you don't know the difference between talking stupid and attention seeking? A sorry loser perhaps..Careful: Shares being hammered again today.the boris bounce has turned into a Cummings crash.poor but free.

It is interesting to note that the very good stocks haven't shifted that much at all.

Agreed. I hate giving business to stockbrokers and market makers unless I really really have to. One advantage of running your own portfolio is being able to keep your costs down and you remove that completely if you start to play the game Mr Market wants you to. Buy a good company for a fair or better price and stick with it, have faith in your convictions. If you don't have faith you need to improve your knowledge so you do or leave the game completely.

Buying LLoy at these prices must be a good long/medium term bet as long as they hold the dividend somewhere near the 6% +.
Had a few more this morning.

And, as WB said the other day, if you plan to be a net buyer of shares over the long run, lower prices make for bargains. It is like buying food which we all hope to do for the rest of our lives. Everyone likes a good deal.

Neither have I. These things come and go, but unless the world spins off its axis then things will recover. That's the main difference between being an investor (owning a slice of a business) and the short term opportunist traders. Each to their own but in the very long run it is the owner who does best. There are exceptions but there it is.

I agree, the fact there is a case in Wales is truly irrelevant and sensationalist reporting. Next it will be a case in Bolsover. LOL

This is probably here to stay with us for years but the stock market will adjust to it soon. If you are in travel and airline stocks then you could be in for a rough ride.

I haven't sold a single share in any of my stocks this week even though I have watched some lose on average 4% a day all week. I don't see the point. My house builders I have will continue to build and sell houses, they have very little/ no debt, people still need to go to work and bricks will continue to be made. House sales will most likely fall but they were already outperforming and is there really anything better long ATM?

Google -"Why a bear market will lead to a dollar collapse, by Alasdair Macloud".

He has an interest in pushing gold, so bear that in mind. But he makes a lot of sense to me.

How long before news leaks out of a bank or hedgie in trouble I wonder? The DOW could have a lot further to fall IMO. Too soon to be buying dips I think.

Bloomberg wants the markets down to improve his chances agin Trump!

Yes the dow will be watching the Italy daily total positives (released after UK market closed yesterday) Looks to me that Japan have got a hold on this (12 positives in the last daily report). South Korea growth of positives is slowing (571 last report)... Iran imo the stats are not reflecting the cases on the ground.... so this will take longer to get a hold off....

Loads of cases via Italy but at the moment no significant local transmission as all on high alert....

I do honestly think that apart from Iran we should be seeing good news next week. Moving into the weekend lots who hold short will probably take profits and those holding myself included will I expect sit on their hands.

See that the Southern Hemisphere has no real outbreaks so I assume the higher temperatures help to control this virus. Looking at the normal flu window post March it goes away..... the numbers affected and die with normal flu are much much higher than I realised.

So get to end March then fingers crossed a jab is available for back end ...

My view is LLOY and the market is approaching oversold.... this time next week will be the judge if my view holds water....

Hope all keep healthy.

OK, the apocalypse is here, and to see us out there is nothing better than Beethoven 7th Symphony.

It's been nice feeding you CHIMPS.
