yep Spud - this is when people start looking for defensives.... don't think we are quite at capitulation yet for the wider market though.

[spud] 16/3/2020 08:47

Every day is Friday 13th for the FTSE.

[creditcrunchies] 13/3/2020 13:56

it's Friday that's why, it's the news you get at the weekend where more numbers on this Corona virus comes out and how more businesses are getting affected. It's been like this every Friday for about 3 weeks people too scared to hold over the weekend

So is RDSB Traders running for the hills before the DOW loses another 20000 points and the UK is closed permanently over the weekend after a couple of folk sneezed on the bus .

[spud] 13/3/2020 13:41

Yup, always down PM.

Lost half its day's gains already.

[creditcrunchies] 13/3/2020 13:04

some commonsense has returned

[spud] 13/3/2020 12:40

What a loverly bounce today. Hopefully it will hold its gains but we've seen this over and over with the PM trading pulling it back.

I still think we need to see a double bottom in the FTSE before getting too carried away.

I'm -13.9% down on my IMB holdings at the moment which isn't too bad considering the FTSE dropped -32%, it obviously involved a lot of buying the deep lows and offloading the more expensive blocks at the bursts higher, but I've always kept a block of IMB stock though throughout. My average is 1663 pence per share at the moment

these are good stocks to hold in a depression, people sitting around getting stressed will still want nicotine at any cost. If people didn't need drugs the cartels in Columbia and Mexico would have been crushed decades ago. Look at it now Pablo Escobar was small fry compared to the power of the cartels now. Drug addiction has just sky rocketed. So tobacco stocks are just out of favour with the fund managers but they'll still keep their profits up through all of this chaos.

Brilliant, I’ve also thought recently about having a cigarette after a break of 15 years also, however the fact I used to smoke a Phillip Morris Brand has stopped me!

[eeza] 12/3/2020 21:59

Slippery slope - but thanks for doing your bit for the cause !

[rbonnier] 12/3/2020 21:43

Well I've been given up smoking for 16 years however recently since all this corona virus chaos mayhem and collapsing share prices causing so much stress I've had the odd cigarette now and again 1 or 2 a day .
I just dont think in the current environment smokers are going to be giving up any time soon more like smoking more !

[eeza] 12/3/2020 21:19

Shows she doesn't know more than us, lol !!!

[jezza123] 12/3/2020 21:09

well one of the directors - Mrs Sue Clark - bought 5000 on the 15th Jan, at 1996.... oops

[stevey82] 12/3/2020 21:02

I have a similar amount of shares as you I feel your pain lol, but being the optimist that I am I think 5 years years from now we will be rolling in it :)

[10576190] 12/3/2020 19:20

lol, £24.57 for me, fortunately I only have 2000 of them.

Taking in passed dividends so far I'm down £16,388 hmmm, still on the positive side a dividend of £1440.20 about to fall due!

[stevey82] 12/3/2020 17:36

I've got an average of £23 per share, I'll be underwater for years just have to keep reinvesting the dividend and hope for the best

[spud] 12/3/2020 17:31

We need to hit panic mode before moving towards recovery mode. Always been the case. spud

[stevey82] 12/3/2020 17:14

Spud, I've never been there before, why is it a good thing?
