Eurofox...added just under 5,000 shares at 2.952861 so hope a sensible move?

[eurofox] 13/8/2020 11:48

I agree with you carpingtris

[carpingtris] 13/8/2020 11:48

Buffet is putting money into banks... now that IMO is risky.

[carpingtris] 13/8/2020 11:47

Buffett and Co... yes they are good investors but this time around they may have missed the boat and it's in there interest to talk down the market so they can enter imo.

Everyone has an agenda.

Yes, think i read something like that too p0p.
It was his, and others, comments on the present markets that caught my eye.

Millie, I forget where I read it but about 4 to 6 months ago I was reading an interview with Buffet and even he admitted that the Stock Markets had changed so much if he was starting out today he would not be anywhere near as successful.

[milliethedog] 13/8/2020 10:47

Ok, thanks for all the insightfull & reasoned comments.....
Good luck to you all

isn't Buffett the one who lost $157 Billion in the last year?

Ask Mr Buffet about his airline stocks...spud

[milliethedog] 13/8/2020 10:40

Ok pencil, yes that's very true. Good points.
It's just comments from like from Buffett & Soros worry me a little.

They are possibly amongst the greatest exponants of the stock market in modern history.

As such, we would be fools not to at the very least consider their views; even if we don't agree.
Food for thought tho.....

Milliethedog, governments on both sides of the pond support the markets one way or the other, threats of short bans, adding liquidity (whatever that means) or just plain buying of futures contracts has been suggested.

They can't afford for markets to drop after all of this stimulus, at least that's my take anyway.

[milliethedog] 13/8/2020 10:28

Euro.....i have; all but a few BT.....

Whats do you think of the comments re Buffett & Soros E?

.. sounds like you need to sell the lot then

[milliethedog] 13/8/2020 09:25

ok, interesting views....

...anyone else?

[skinny] 13/8/2020 09:22

Yes, but look at it now - approaching flat YTD.

[milliethedog] 13/8/2020 09:21

cord.....DOW is just 300 points off it's all time high in Jan '20
Nas, all time high yesterday

Just shouts 'stock market bubble' to me

.. Volatility expected to increase as we draw nearer to US elections anyway.

[milliethedog] 13/8/2020 09:18

Ok, i see that. But the DOW did fall to 18,500 in March on Covid news. Tech stocks or not.
Nasdaq now above 11,000.


Should there be a correction in the US then i think the FTSE will drop accordingly in my view. US sneezes & we catch cold, as they say.
October is a good month for stock market crashes!

[cordwainer] 13/8/2020 09:15

..surely you're referring to the weightings in NASDAQ and S&P500 there rather than DOW..? In any case, the DOW is not at an all time high it would need about another 6% or so.

[spud] 13/8/2020 09:06

No. The DOW is heavily skewed towards tech due in main by the F.A.N.G stocks. It has become disjointed from historic valuation techniques unlike the F100. I suspect it'll power above 30k in fairly short order. spud

Am usually trading a set 5 – 7 shares at any one time. Trading the high's & low's.
BT, AV, LGEN, RDSB, IMB, LLOY....

I see the same members on some of these boards as I do here at times

Although not specifically Av related i'll post this question here.

Are any of you even slightly worried about the US market being over priced?
The DOW & Nasdaq are trading at all time highs. This seems out of sync with the 'real' world to me.
Surely any 'correction' would have a huge effect on us in UK. ??

Perhaps the VWAP tool is better for trading intra day or so time scales. So you can better judge if the currant price is above/below the 'average' .
Shame i can't justify £500+ a year for L2.....

Sold out here yesterday @ 304.10
Same with Lgen @ 239.60

Had a feeling they might drop more than the dividend today.....
