How easy it is to panic people.
Corporal Jones from Dads army, Don'y panic, Don't panic.
The public are pathetic and always have been.
Easily manipulated.

The market sell off is just as interesting.
An imaginary fantasy wealth is created when we all buy shares.
If we all keep buying in it will rise and we all feel smart.
The fantasy wealth disappears very quickly when investors cash in their chips.

Much of the stock market is a Ponzi scheme.
How quickly this imaginary wealth vanishes.
it was never there in the first place.

Tulipmania, the South Sea bubble, Madoff, Bitcoin.
The list is endless.

Our leaders are clueless.
The next phase after an initial deflation will be hyper inflation.
These clowns in charge will debase the currency.

we are all going to be a lot poorer.
Maybe back to the 1950's or the same wealth per capita as India and China.
Why not, they are just as smart and hard working as we are.

The Fed needs to start buying stocks.It's the only answer.The virus numbers will keep rising for a few weeks yet. We can't keep taking index 5-10% falls every day. FtSE and Dow would be close to worthless

It would have been far better, at least he had some decent advisors, Trump just relies upon those idiotic children and their even more useless partners, and Munchkin. Trump had some decent, intelligent people like Coch, Tillerson, etc but they fed up with his stupidity and ignorance!

Thank the gods this didn't happen in dubyas day

[paa65] 12/3/2020 15:22

Lets hope no-one tells Trump that nuclear weapons could fix this

Chump is an idiot ! Doesn't he realise that the virus does not respect borders of the USA and that they are not an island !

[montyhedge] 12/3/2020 15:00

Your planning for a nuclear war, it's seems. Lol

It (FTSE100) was there or there abouts August last year. And take the rest of the global indices into account and especially the US.
Old saying, US sneezes and rest of world catches a cold. It's still very true.
The UK went sideways for the past 2 years rather than up because of Brexit.
Time will tell.

At 250p market cap around 5 billion, so in my view some way to go. If Coronavirus gets worst and they start closing airports.

[dround87] 12/3/2020 14:53

[dround87] 12/3/2020 14:44

[smithys2019] 12/3/2020 14:36

Oh do bore off. 10 deaths, all with existing conditions/aged. More people die annually having a cr@p on the toilet.

[hamhamham1] 12/3/2020 14:04

Yep but gets shut for 15 mins if it drops a certain percentage amounts and then closes if hits 20% drop or something like that.

[dround87] 12/3/2020 14:01

Opens at 1330 now

[hamhamham1] 12/3/2020 13:56

Dow should open again in a minute,
Think until or if it then hits 13% drop?

[dround87] 12/3/2020 13:53

Kind of wishing I'd gone leveraged!
