Invested a third of my intended allocation for both LGEN and AV. today. Top up on any further weakness up to 100pc. If the recovery gets well underway before I'm done then I'll go all in. It always feels like the end of the world in these dips but we're still here. We'll be here next year and the year after that and Covid will be nothing but a memory.

[uppompeii] 02/3/2020 15:24

Happy days, I got a load at 150-170 or so back then, ran a load on a spread bet too, my only regret was not going for Pru as well when they were at parity...Aviva didnt go much more than 250%, Pru, well 1000%.

Some juicy premia now writing puts at these levels. Tempting but will await the results.

[tornado12] 02/3/2020 12:53

I certainly think 280-300p range but also influenced by the FY results and outlook later this week. I am waiting until after Thursdays results

[purple11] 02/3/2020 12:22

wait for 140p back to 2009 price.

corona will devastate the world

[squintyflinty1] 02/3/2020 10:26

Motley fool recommends these as a very strong buy.The dividend is nearly 9%

[eurofox] 02/3/2020 10:11

If tempted to top up, remember that we are now in "sell each rally" mode and cover in the new dips

[p0pper] 02/3/2020 09:16

Results this week, Thursday I think.

[mrthomas] 02/3/2020 09:11

Flooding claims to also now add to the woe


Contamination of planes is now the problem for markets due to Covid-19
Decontamination is also a problem and takes time to do .

How many passengers will sue airlines or cruise ship operators where they can prove the Covid-19 was transmitted to them by an infected fellow passenger ?

IMO such cases are already in the pipeline especially those that died.



How long will people avoid wanting to travel again on the Diamond Princess ?

As fellow passengers are tracked down from others who had Covid-19 on a plane they shared together

How long will it be before folks curtail any air travel other than that of absolute necessity ?


Folks will avoid large gatherings like pubs, cafes and other eateries just as they will getting on cruise ships and aircraft or going in hotels.


Banks and financials to take hits

Plus OIL stocks and base metal mining stocks

Not much rising except special situations in a few stocks in very limited sectors IMO


It isn't Covid-19 that kills

It is the symptoms that follow and develop in circa 2% of cases

viral pneumonia , which then can lead to septic shock and sepsis

Sepsis is now the biggest killer in the world being responsible for 20% of ALL deaths and rising.

Pneumonia is the biggest killer in the world of children under 5 years of age

Good luck Monday boys and girl. It’s been a painful two weeks

[tradejunkie2] 01/3/2020 19:28

Wuhan is a filthy coronavirus city.

[uppompeii] 01/3/2020 19:04

I would add Dr that there is evidence that prolonged exposure, as in an enclosed environment such as a ship (or medical staff in a hospital), leads to higher mortality so the cruise ship may not be an accurate representation of the wider world..

[smurfy2001] 01/3/2020 18:11

IG weekend prices are indicative?.
Futures open at 11.00pm GMT.

Some markets in the middle East are open on Sunday, from memory.

[dr biotech] 01/3/2020 16:37

Have to be careful with weekend futures. 6530 would be -30 on Fridays close. It’s -170 from the after market futures closing (ftse rose after close on Friday)

For those of us that believe in proper science and reliable stats the best metric is that floating Petri dish, namely the diamond princess. As they tested pretty much everyone in there they will pick up those with few or no symptoms as well as those who are less fortunate. Obv they an older and one would suspect more vulnerable cohort than the wider population.

Current stats from there are
705 infected
10 recovered
7 died
688 “active”
36 critical.

You’d hope that the actives will become recoveries in due course and that most of the criticals will too.

They're the same thing.

[smurfy2001] 01/3/2020 11:02

Daily Mail have complete forgotten about the virus now all about babies!

[123trev] 01/3/2020 10:19

gaffer, obviously your talking weekend trading.

[gaffer73] 01/3/2020 09:40

Dow future's are - 600, I wouldn't call that positive!
