Will it break 6757 or drop back?

Artificially trying revive the market is like trying to cover a crack on the wall with selotape.

Maybe a bounce today but then the downward spiral will continue

[hamhamham1] 02/3/2020 07:46

I don't agree with dropping your pants on interest rates now, you need some ammunition available when a recession hits. Stupid at this stage.

Global central banks will provide market support

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS, -1.80% economists wrote Sunday that they expect the Fed to cut interest rates by 50 basis points soon, perhaps even before their next scheduled meeting March 16-17. That move would be followed by another 50-basis-point cut in the second quarter, they said, and would be part of a coordinated effort by the world’s central banks to cut interest rates.

Yes but will it be a dead cat bounce ?

[hamhamham1] 02/3/2020 07:22

Ftse100 looks like it will open up 100 pts. What it closes at is anyone's guess.

The US is BA's biggest market And if passenger loads fall to here then it will have a bigger impact on the group .. keep an eye on USA New York state confirmed its first positive coronavirus test, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Sunday night, as the U.S. government said it would start screening travelers for the virus and hike production of protective masks.

A lot of companies will start telling their employees to work from home this week.

I think my employer will tell me to work from home before mid March.

It’s over for those that think a share or bond has any value.

Companies go bust and bond holders default. ( inc government bonds )

Very simple to understand.

Pharmas and supermarkets might be the only ones to go up in the near term if there is a lockdown

Contamination of planes is now the problem re above

Decontamination is also a problem and takes time to do .

How many passengers will sue airlines or cruise ship operators where they can prove the Covid-19 was transmitted to them by an infected fellow passenger ?

IMO such cases are already in the pipeline especially those that died.



How long will people avoid wanting to travel again on the Diamond Princess ?

As fellow passengers are tracked down from others who had Covid-19 on a plane they shared together

How long will it be before folks curtail any air travel other than that of absolute necessity ?


Folks will avoid large gatherings like pubs, cafes and other eateries just as they will getting on cruise ships and aircraft or going in hotels.


Banks and financials to take hits

Plus OIL stocks and base metal mining stocks

Not much rising except special situations in a few stocks in very limited sectors IMO


It isn't Covid-19 that kills

It is the symptoms that follow and develop in circa 2% of cases

viral pneumonia , which then can lead to septic shock and sepsis

Sepsis is now the biggest killer in the world being responsible for 20% of ALL deaths and rising.

Pneumonia is the biggest killer in the world of children under 5 years of age

Those saying flu kills more people so why cov19 getting more airtime....thats the answer there. It's because cov19 is so serious that governments around the globe are sitting themselves so are lying and keeping a tight lid on things so it doesn't cause panic.

How long can they keep this under wraps. Jeez even animals are now dropping dead from the virus.

This is scary.

Bottom is anywhere now 100p 200p 50p none of us know not even the.ceo of th company. I'll keep my short open

United Airlines likely to cut flights due to Covid-19

"As the teams and riders of the Moto2™ and Moto3™ classes were already in Qatar for the three-day official test at Losail International Circuit earlier this week, the races of both categories will be possible. The lightweight and intermediate classes will therefore compete in their season opener from the 6th to 8th March. The same will apply to the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup, which will have two races during the Qatar Grand Prix as originally planned. Stay tuned for a revised schedule."

Moto gp just cancelled, more impact on iag and airlines

[hamhamham1] 01/3/2020 19:18

I give up. Buy the shares and win, win, win.

[daveboy1] 01/3/2020 19:10

Yep, it's an IAG board, not a virus board. If you are not in here why keep spouting largely irrelevant stats that have nothing to do with this airline directly, merely clogging it up with negative speculation - curious, particularly on a Sunday...

[m1k3y1] 01/3/2020 19:04

Ham.....if you don't own any IAG shares and you are neither long or short IAG, why bother posting here ?

[hamhamham1] 01/3/2020 18:58

But if you look at China stats yesterday about 500 new cases but 40 deaths, so it's hard to compare the stats. Actually figures are:

Chinese mainland reports 573 new confirmed cases of novel coronavirus infections, 35 new deaths

So the ratio of deaths is heading up compared to the 1-2% official????
