Can only see another massive fall tomorrow. The latest bank move spells nothing but panic and that’s anathema to the markets.

[yf23_1] 15/3/2020 22:41

As expected, FT100 futures now up only 76 (was 355).

12,000 new cases in last 24 hrs.

Fed has cut interest rates to zero and launched $500bn QE5 plus other stuff.

UKX futures spiked significantly after the cash close due to the rise on Wall St.
UKX cash close was 5366, the futures closed around 5672.

Weekend futures down 5.74% currently

[yf23_1] 15/3/2020 19:40

Well, FT100 futures closed up 355, however with the latest virus figures I expect them to give that back when they open tonight,
I expect any rally tomorrow to be sold into.

When you think the markets down 30%, and yet no disruption yet from people off work....
I don't think its really looking ahead too far.
What I mean is, its discounting a hit and a recovery, but not the mindset (of momentum led panic) that will ensue when things get bad.

could well be another 25% to come off - but I wouldn't be caught short aiding and abetting that outcome by selling any stock I own now or by shorting it down - what I would do is double my holding if another drop of that magnitude is on the cards - one of the advantages of being still 80% cash

Hard to predict the low, somewhere in the 4000s probably.

In 1919 the stock market went up 50% after the final wave of Spanish Flu outbreak.

Unfortunately I agree with you tfergi

In all honesty nobody knows where this is heading apart from those greedy ba—-ards who are controlling what’s going on here. It’s obvious Aviva is not a basket case and that’s a problem because these guys make money on the way down and on the way up and love these stocks when this does bottom it will in the coming years double and then some and they will have taken the dividends and as usual make a fortune the trick is to know when their finished.

[tfergi] 15/3/2020 11:39

I have a feeling that the bottom is going to be much lower than people think

[spcecks] 15/3/2020 10:43

I'm an optimist....I think we're near the bottom now if not I will add some more.....you never know we might be up tomorrow pOpper.

[p0pper] 15/3/2020 10:00

Like most holders here, I am down a fair bit with quite a lot of AV. shares so I hope that a take over doesn't happen at this low price. :(

bennodean; I was a director at Allianz UK. Allianz has many market leading life companies around the world (Germany obviously, but also the likes of India, the USA and Italy). They have no issue with life operations and make good money from them. However, Aviva would be a particularly good fit given that Allianz globally has 4 arms - investment, local general insurances, global covers and life/pensions. This closely mirrors Aviva. The same could be said for a fit with the likes of Zurich. Aviva is sub-scale globally (but not locally in the UK) and the current price is a steal, especially given savings from merging with local operations.

I am not saying Allianz (or Zurich or Axa or anyone else) will buy Aviva - but it will be firmly on their radar in current circumstances.

I expect governments to announce trillions of dollars in aid packages when this crisis is over.
Perhaps interest free loans of debt freezes. There must be clever people working on it right now.

[fraser038] 15/3/2020 08:45

Big swings both directions next week. Expect uk to start moving on with stage 2 in which case it's all negative. The airlines will drag everything down.

[eurofox] 15/3/2020 08:30

Depends on whether central banks announce some form of coordinated action that affects shorters

[tfergi] 15/3/2020 08:07

I'm guessing a big fall on Monday.

[p0pper] 15/3/2020 07:53

One thing I cannot understand is if the big investors and institutions that have a stake in Aviva can see the value in it and if Aviva are throwing off that much profit and cash are the big players just being bloody minded by digging their heels in and saying we want to break up the company as they see more value in it, why not just get behind Aviva and create value there.

The world has gone mad with "we must see a profit today" and the public are to blame when everything has to be "now" and if I don't get it now I am going to scream until I get my own way.

Do people really think that any company can just keep growing and whilst the public are so cost driven things will go wrong because for instance you cannot build a quality car or washing machine for peanuts but everyone now is so wrapped up in price. There showing my age and rant over.

How does everyone see Monday morning opening in the FTSE?
