300 down just now. Govt need to step in and buy businesses not give them loans.

[eeza] 17/3/2020 23:32

Off 100 points, atm.

Tin hats on again tomorrow.

[eurofox] 17/3/2020 22:51

as i said, down day tomorrow ahead of options expiry - futures already dropping rapidly

[warranty] 17/3/2020 22:46

Well if it doesn’t go up tomorrow, and not just slightly, then we really are in trouble because the government can’t do any more than they’ve announced.

[dplewis1] 17/3/2020 21:54

I'd sincerely hope we get an up day tomorrow considering DJ, S&P and Nasd all went up over 5% today!

[eurofox] 17/3/2020 19:53

ageed, steady buying for each 20p drop - it will be a down day tomorrow being exploited by hedgies in advance of options expiry on witching friday

I bet a lot of people are looking at that bubble wave chart wondering which stage this is.. I know I am. I'm not sure if this is capitulation or despair - gut feeling is we've not reached the bottom but we're a significant way down that final slope. Anyway, I've bought some Aviva shares under 250p and kept some powder dry in case I've gone too early. This stimulus package from the US is enormous.. who knows what trouble we're storing up for the future.

US planning T$1.2 package.
I also see the Italy rate of new infections beginning to drop.

The last 2 days has seen indescrinate selling of assets. Is this the capitulation stage?

Probably 4 or 5 weeks away from a complete change in sentiment.

Trump isn’t my favourite guy but he was pretty clear that no airline cruise ship hotel Boeing etc etc would go bust

[cjac39] 17/3/2020 17:44

I disagree - I’m calling this as the beginning of the end. Central banks and governments will get on top of markets but sadly not the medical side

[smurfy2001] 17/3/2020 17:36

That 330bn package could potentially spark a rally let's see. Still bearish though.

[yf23_1] 17/3/2020 17:33

The stockmarket is now based on emotion. With increased virus cases and deaths people tend to look more on the negative side and so avoid risk.
The time to buy IMO, is even if the virus figures are bad, if they are improving this will change the mindset to look in a more positive way, for an ending.
You only have to see people in the supermarkets today (I work there).
People are fixated only on their immediate needs.

If they touch the dividend,we are looking at a share price starting with 1

[eurofox] 17/3/2020 15:54

topped up at 239 - next stop to top up 210

[uppompeii] 17/3/2020 13:03

Reasoning that any share recovery above the ER interest rate compounded would make sense.

[uppompeii] 17/3/2020 13:01

I may consider equity release if there isnt a quick recovery in the markets, its possibly a cheaper way of taking an income for a few years rather than drawing down the pension. Then use tax free cash in a few years to clear the debt before it compounds out of control.I'll have to look at how ER has matured as a product.

[careful] 17/3/2020 12:46

Aviva are tempting.
Equity release will become huge, and Aviva are big into this area.

Interest rates on equity release loans are below 4%.
I can predict a surge in this risk free business.

Private funded pensions and dismal annuity rates make equity release from property inevitable.

good investing...seeing the future before it happens.

[edmundshaw] 17/3/2020 12:31

Suspending dividends is inevitable in affected industries - non-essential retail, leisure and travel - plus various suppliers and other knock-on effects (some transport for example). And the whole economy will have a rest for a bit. Much non-essential maintenance and building work may have a rest too...

If the government here supports most businesses so they survive, though, there should be a good recovery almost everywhere. Such promises have been made by Trump and Macron already, it would be mad not to do the same here...

[cool hand kev] 17/3/2020 12:08

Just looked at IMB dividend equate to nearly %16? at todays prices
and BT.A not bad either. IMO

[leedslad001] 17/3/2020 11:55

Not in a isa cash only no reinvestment

[cool hand kev] 17/3/2020 10:57

Thanks Guys

[tfergi] 17/3/2020 10:48

Unless the account is set ton Auto reinvest then they will buy more shares with the dividend.

[jez66] 17/3/2020 10:39

@cool hand kev ... yes it will show up as cash in your isa acc
