very very dodgy, equity release,maxidi

just get a mortgage on the property........ age is now no obstacle.

and you will run out of money .... you will live MUCH longer than you think and all this "spend it now is going be a disaster"...

you'll end up in a care home run by chavs.

Trump's actions are to weaken Europe and China.

[alphorn] 13/3/2020 10:25

max - I agree with that. The US travel ban though was another question.

[maxk] 13/3/2020 10:24

Alp.

It's not the country/s concerned. It's the whole set up allowing so many people to transit through after sitting in aircraft and breathing each others farts (virus)

Same goes for london transport, underground, buses etc.

The so called containment plans are a farce!



Project fear writ large!

285, max, yes, my wife overboiled my egg this morning.

Come to think of it, she was distracted by a tv article about trump, so perhaps he caused my hard yolk.

TSCO is one of my few holdings fwiw.

[k38] 13/3/2020 10:17

No British passport no entry to US... and UK will not give passport to anyone just like that. The report is time wasted.

'We worked hard and saved well and never had handouts. I think we should enjoy what's left'

A cruise?? nice long plane flight?? not sure what you can spend it on at the moment.

That compound interest rate on equity release is shocking.

[alphorn] 13/3/2020 10:15

max - depends on what you read - is it the country of departure or the country of residence and passport that is the deciding factor?

[gotnorolex] 13/3/2020 10:07

Bitcoin: $ 5731.40 and falling!

TSCO appears to be resilient compared to many stocks. People have to buy food/essentials, virus or not. Views appreciated

I now am starting to hope that these crazy SPs are still available then the Dividends are payable at end of May. I have £7.8k going into the next DRIP.

"We've a bunch of dangerous idiots in charge across the world - WTO included"

There you have it. Does not bode well.


For those that need help - WTO = World Trade Organisation; WHO = World Health Organisation.

I think this and other shares are going to be up and down like a naughty girls knickers for the next 2 or 3 weeks at least. That when it's going to hit us the most in that time line. Its said we are about 3 wks behind Italy with this.

[pal44] 13/3/2020 09:50

recall they said the world would end after Y2K err over hyped just like Covid-19

[malcolmmm] 13/3/2020 09:47

Yes I made a quick £50 on the rise UK100 on opening today, £30 yesterday £1 a point . best not to trade and lose it after that imo

[maxidi] 13/3/2020 09:47

1carus.

Thankyou, you are spot on.
We worked hard and saved well and never had handouts. I think we should enjoy what's left.

[malcolmmm] 13/3/2020 09:43

If they do ban short selling I think it maybe counter productive as many traders use it to hedge their longs against loses in the same share as they don't want to sell their long term long positions. This may cause a sell off in their long positions if they can no longer safeguard them. Just my thoughts.

[alphorn] 13/3/2020 09:41

1carus - not that different to my recent discussion here of why have a repayment mortgage? Enjoy life while you still have it indeed.

[mitchy] 13/3/2020 09:41

I think I've managed to work out the reason for the market open and fall this morning.
The DOW spiked 5 - 6% after the ftse bell and the traders here in the UK used their ability
to trade the market after the bell to either cover their shorts or buy into it . But then after they went home the DOW tanked. So they had a mad scramble to unwind their positions.

The government should look into this unfair practice of the market. This time they got stung a little but most times they profit unfairly from it. When I say "they got stung a little" I mean just that because you and I would have been mostly excluded from any trades until they had unwound their positions.

Lets call it what it is...INSIDER TRADING/DEALING !

[alphorn] 13/3/2020 09:39

"ECB disappoints...they have nowhere to go!"

Don't disagree with that Jacko.

………;……̷0;……R30;but then GBP has weakened further post that meeting. What does that tell you?

[1carus] 13/3/2020 09:32

Maxidi, enjoy your money when you still can. Being ahead of the health / age curve is a life bonus. No point in having it if you cant enjoy it. Your daughter is correct.

[crossing_the_rubicon] 13/3/2020 09:31

@GBH2

Yeah that was a story out yesterday. China blaming US Army for releasing it.

Concur.

We've a bunch of dangerous idiots in charge across the world - WTO included.
