HSBC best of the banks. Weak pound also increases our dividend.

"Hong Kong Shutdown a Lesson to the World in Halting Virus"


Public outcry led Hong Kong to implement social distancing
Memories of SARS in 2003 conditioned residents to be cautious

As the world struggles with the rapid spread of Covid-19, Hong Kong appears to be having success controlling it -- in part because the memory of a similar virus in 2003 prompted a public outcry early on.

Hong Kong’s government quickly implemented restrictive “social distancing” measures now being hotly debated around the world, in part because of pressure from medical workers to close its border with China at the beginning of the outbreak.

Those included closing schools, canceling large-scale events, shutting government offices and ordering civil servants to work from home -- a move that many companies quickly followed.

Hong Kong acted fast, similarly to Singapore and Skorea.
HK remembered SARS form 2003.

There was a bloomberg article out I just came across...

Could be China throwing money at the problem. HSBC branches reopening in HK.Look good for the first leading bank to recover.

Because China is fiddling their Covid-19 figures.

Been stuck at 80,000 odd cases for a week or so now.

Only 50% of populace on quarantine.
What are the other 50% doing?

Strange U.K. and US stock markets down 26% but China up 0.3% for the year.

[montyhedge] 13/3/2020 12:16

@Wton1
"HSBC looks finished"

How so?
And if you're correct, you'd better worry, because if HSBC falls, the financial system is kaput.
