WOW any of you guys work for the BoE, if not I’ll get in touch with Sky News and tell them about the experts on this forum. Bye the way it’s the lowest rate since the bank was formed in 1694...

The bond buying is gilts rather than corporate by the sounds of it, so think that might fizzle the FTSE back again after a while.

He comes across better than Trump in press conferences, not sure what that says though :)

ham.....it's not enough .
He needs an open cheque book and he needs to start printing it asap.
Everyone wants to see leadership and commitment ........he hasn't got it.

Yes hamham

Boris and the Bank of England have spaffed everything they have against the wall in the first few days of the battle: all that remains is a weak dribble.

BoE cut to 0.1%
Plus bond buying extra £200bn

I really don't think it's done. If it swings to the upside you can be pretty confident it's coming back this way soon. Any sniff of a lock down.

dround......it has to stop somewhere , otherwise we might all just as well kiss our a...s goodbye.

Watford.'s ....it's 20k and any bit of tax saving helps everyone.

[dround87] 19/3/2020 14:39

Surely not another chance to short from 5150??? Almost getting bored of it now...

[watfordhornet] 19/3/2020 14:18

That only benefits the rich - not many will see that much benefit given you can invest 40k per annum

[m1k3y1] 19/3/2020 13:58

I agree dround.

[dround87] 19/3/2020 13:57

I thought I might be done in time for isa top up but I've barley even got started! Will be a very good time to invest mid-lockdown.

[toon1966] 19/3/2020 13:48

Agree Ham...

[m1k3y1] 19/3/2020 13:45

I am guessing there will be an inflow of investing come April, when people have a new ISA allocation.
I am surprised that GOV has not increased the ISA limits, in order to encourage tax free savings / returns and investment in companies that badly need it.
Maybe it will come.

[m1k3y1] 19/3/2020 13:39

ham...thanks. Think I'll search it out .

[hamhamham1] 19/3/2020 13:37

The Sleeper. One of the only Woody Allen films I like. The 'orb' scene is hilarious, the film is worth a watch if not seen, should you find you have time on your hands at home.

[m1k3y1] 19/3/2020 13:35

ham.....now that is a thought.

[hamhamham1] 19/3/2020 13:33

The economy is almost the least of people's worries when staying healthy and finding food is an issue.
I would like to sleep until we get to the other side.

[m1k3y1] 19/3/2020 13:30

dround....it is ridiculous. people need to get a grip.
We will soon find out who our friends are .

[m1k3y1] 19/3/2020 13:27

dave......what is the point ?

[hamhamham1] 19/3/2020 13:26

Did anyone watch 'years and years' tv drama recently, feels a bit familiar.
