I don't see any point in trying to forcast share prices, or where the FTSE is going to be in a week or two etc .

I doubt that anyone here is clever enough to call a bottom so why even try

Good to see that Virgin appears to be isolated in calling for GOV support.

What they said ^^^^

Monty, you need to do some research. IAG are now flying thousands of tonnes of freight per day. They may close airports to passengers, we still need food, medicines and a whole host of JIT imports from across the globe.

[hamhamham1] 23/3/2020 08:37

Tragically, all or most all will likely be true there.

By end of March ::

Airports shut
Lock down
Over 10,000 cases
Almost 1,000 deaths
Ftse below 4000

[montyhedge] 23/3/2020 08:26

It will no terms given yet. Also I reckon airports will be closed within a week.

[hamhamham1] 23/3/2020 08:22

Trump will announce package today and markets may rise for a bit, but with 100 million Americans locked down and more likely, the virus will pull the market down again I reckon. No endpoint in sight.

Amazed it has not fallen more given all the bail out news over weekend

[hamhamham1] 23/3/2020 08:15

Economy I reckon is gonna take a year to get back on its feet after the unavoidable recession.
What the odds Boris goes heavier on lockdowns in next 24hrs?

[montyhedge] 23/3/2020 08:11

I see 65p if gov get involved.

[hamhamham1] 23/3/2020 08:09

Its ugly out there

[smithys2019] 23/3/2020 04:34

Apparently virgin are alone in asking for support.

[qantas] 22/3/2020 22:51

Shorts doomed to failure.

Please do your own research as always.

[montyhedge] 22/3/2020 21:31

Hopefully all depends on any dilution.

[watfordhornet] 22/3/2020 20:42

So not like the Banks then

[nw99] 22/3/2020 20:35

Yes going to survive and come back fitter

Gov drawing up plans to renationalise airlines. Be like the banks 2008 I suppose. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8137505/Government-plans-buy-SHARES-British-Airways-afloat-coronavirus-crisis.html

[smithys2019] 22/3/2020 18:34

Emirates Airline steps back from suspending all passenger flights after lobbying from governments

No announcement yet about whether any vaccine will be free to all, or if the Pharmaceutical companies will be seeking to monetise it.

[hamhamham1] 22/3/2020 15:14

Or you develop a vaccine and then that provides imminity. But if you are developing something you plan to give to billions of people you better be damn sure there are no serious side effects which are discovered down the road. And that's why testing takes a long time. And also gives extra weight to developing a test of seeing if you have had it already.

herd immunity only if its guaranteed to work.there will be caualties but if as a community we develop immunity in the long run it will save a lot of lives.WTFDIK.
