do we think they will shut the Stock market ?

If you have a house and everything drops percentage wise, with virtually zero interests rates, much easier to trade up.

Went to Tesco. Its ridiculous shelves empty. All i could get was 8 hair dryers and 4 barbaque sets

Strong market resistance at this point..Unless something else happens and effect the market it's seems to me we have found bottom for now. 32p for Lloyds, but still keep an eye for 28p before all this is over.

I don't believe that dropping rates to almost zero is going to help anybody but the big borrowers who, if they want to, can increase their leverage to make a bigger turn.
Individuals who operate big funds will be grateful. Btw what happened to the Moggie who seems to have gone very quiet?

With more QE and record interest rates staying low for longer I don't see an imminent house price collapse. Sales may slow but there will be loads of banks looking for something to do with their capital. A government supported property market and construction market seems a reasonable sector for investment IMO. That is why I am sticking with construction and housebuilding although currently engaged in active damage limitation.

Now that schools are closing...even the biscuits, chocolates, crisps and soft drinks etc etc aisles gone into panic buying...all clear out...

260Trust it is just Tesco bug.Civilised shop usually.

[k38] 19/3/2020 15:49

Sound reasonable. .. that doesn't mean the house market is in trouble, at least no yet.One wants top price, will take long time to sale, the other quick sale.

The government must be guided by science. But the science must present the total picture. In this case there are many more causes of many other death beyond the blinkered view of coronavirus. Being guided by biased science is of little use. There is a bigger picture. A government has to balance circumstances and lead from the front and guided by all the truth available. Honest government to better than Herd Instinct government that leads us all over a cliff. Boris. WAKE UP!!!

It depends how desperate the seller is...or the other house seller is just a bit too greedy and not desperate to sell...

On my street 2 houses identical put up for sale 1 month apart with a £45k price difference. These banks are gonna need bailing you can bank on it. 2008 all over again.

Two dozen hedge fund owners aren't going to keep the economy going but two million healthy pensions are.

[minerve 2] 19/3/2020 15:35

They could ban shorting FFS.

"They'll need bailing now the housing market is collapsing"

Evidence?

[pierre oreilly] 19/3/2020 15:31

Yeah Ladeside - flatten the curve at any cost.


Well not if the cost in deaths is greater than the cost in deaths if you don't flatten the curve.

Seems bleedin obvious to me.

[toon1966] 19/3/2020 15:28

You just have cm44...

[ladeside] 19/3/2020 15:26

A sense of realism I'm afraid, unlike Boris and Dom.

'That will be visiting us soon, but will be much, much worse due to our indifference to actually putting precautions in place.....'

Not sure I know what you're talking about. I think people in the UK are taking lots of precautions.

[adyfc] 19/3/2020 15:21

BOE trying to save the banks. They'll need bailing now the housing market is collapsing. A lot of negative equity around now,

[ladeside] 19/3/2020 15:20

Keep an eye on the daily death toll and how it's hugely increasing across Italy and Spain.

That will be visiting us soon, but will be much, much worse due to our indifference to actually putting precautions in place.....

Brits are buying much less from the EU, says the EUEU's trade surplus with the UK plunges 25% - EU Commission trade report?© Brexit Facts4EU.OrgDespite the drop, the UK was still the EU's second-largest market for goodsYesterday, almost unnoticed by the mainstream media because of the Coronavirus, the EU Commission published its latest international trade report for January 2020.BREXIT FACTS4EU.ORG SUMMARYEU27 goods exports, Jan 2020 compared to Jan 2019EU goods exports to the UK plunged by almost 10% year-on-year, to €25 billionThe EU's trade surplus with the UK in January fell by 25% year-on-year, to €8.7 billion?© Brexit Facts4EU.Org - click to enlargeThe United Kingdom was the EU's second-largest market in JanuaryDespite the falls, the UK was still the EU's second-largest market, after the USASales to the UK were 67% higher than sales to the third place country, China30% of the EU's global exports were to four countries: USA, UK, China, and Russia?© Brexit Facts4EU.Org - click to enlargeAnd how did the EU do generally?Intra-euro area trade fell to €164.2 bn in January 2020, down by 1.6% compared with January 2019The EU27 recorded a -€2.6 bn deficit in trade in goods with the rest of the world in January 2020Intra-EU27 trade fell to €255.3 bn in January 2020, down by -0.9% compared with January 2019Please note: Despite the fact that the United Kingdom was still a full member of the European Union in January, the EU's statistics agency has reported its international trade figures as if the UK had already left.OBSERVATIONSIt is perhaps easy to forget that just two months ago the world was trading normally. In January 2020 the effects of the Coronavirus had not yet been felt.It is therefore important to record that the EU was already struggling in many ways, before any effects of the Coronavirus. The charts above refer to the latest month about which the EU Commission was reporting: January 2020. The trends, however, had set in long before.No excuses, no delay

'Probably preparing her next speech'


I doubt it very much.

I don't even think she wrote the first one.
