Vaccine might be available by Summer.
Coronavirus: Scientists race to develop a vaccine

[m1k3y1] 30/1/2020 14:27

I see the doomongers are back. No doubt shorting IAG and doing their best to scare the hell out of any inventors.

Fully expect sub £5 by tomorrow, just the tip of the iceberg

i had warned about listening to Brokers

510p? its more like the stock price halving in price and more. It will be a bloodbath everywhere with the airlines and cruise-liners getting the biggest hits.

Death toll rises as virus spreads to every Chinese region


It will be something we've never seen before (and that's typical of the markets!) and I have a bad feeling about all what's happening!

If the Chinese stock market re-opens on Monday and the deaths keep piling up it won't be pretty.

When the bears get stuck in to IAG they really go for it, got it down to 418p last time.

[montyhedge] 30/1/2020 12:27

Still have 510p target if Coronavirus starts spreading.

Wow Harry what a scaremonger...

British Airways suspends flights to mainland China for a month



But this is not my real fear - my real fear is that it will hit Europe sooner or later!

[harry3021] 30/1/2020 11:48

It is a time bomb.

Here is Carnival - the cruiseliner operator which owns the Italian ship


It is not about exposure to the Far East. The virus could easily spread to Europe - if that happens most airlines will cut flying to the bare minimum. There would be draconian measures taken like we've never seen before.

[montyhedge] 30/1/2020 11:21

Investors hate uncertainty, but they are not worried in IAG case, 8% exposure to Far East.

[harry3021] 30/1/2020 10:33

this flu thing is going to get ugly!



this is a time bomb - carnival down 6% - it is only a matter of time for the virus to start spreading in europe, then european airlines will take one hell of a hit.

[montyhedge] 30/1/2020 10:33

I'm amazed these are not around 550p, investors not worried obviously.

[cyberian] 30/1/2020 00:15

Assume the next set of load factors due early next month already taken as being impacted...this suggests that the market accepts this reality and that all will recover once the Chinese virus issue is resolved. Also people have seen/taken into account the global deaths from ordinary flu, which happen every year, and are pretty high. Whatever, still a nasty problem and hope resolved asap.

can someone tell me what companies make up the Ftse 350 travel and leisure sector?

[m1k3y1] 29/1/2020 18:44

Indeed but that will impact all carriers, everywhere.
I note that Virgin are still flying to mainland China, which might be viewed as irresponsible.

[milliecusto] 29/1/2020 18:36

How about the flights that connect onto China, no need for people to book, still has a impact

[m1k3y1] 29/1/2020 16:42

Cancelling mainland flights to China not really a major problem for a company the size of IAG.

[montyhedge] 29/1/2020 16:21

Amazed IAG held up today.

[m1k3y1] 29/1/2020 15:24

toon.....Boeing in deep doo doo over the max problem.
I doubt it is over yet.

[toon1966] 29/1/2020 15:19

I see Boeing slumped to their first loss in 20 years, the 737 Max problems will now cost the company nearly $19 Billion -

[fernandesb] 29/1/2020 12:46

we all know how wrong brokers can get it.
