My worst investment since buying Centrica at 360p .

[xxxxxy] 24/4/2020 08:18

I am positive. Mostly.

[mikemichael2] 24/4/2020 08:17

Surely if you really think this is going nowhere but down and at best down a bit more, then you should sell.

"Only reason for staying in is it ain't worth getting out." totally agree!

Probably my worst investment in 24 years :(

Merkel said it so it must be right !!!!!!!!!!!

[patientcapital] 24/4/2020 07:55

Indeed and the same should be articulated for the UK:""We are not at the end of the pandemic but at the beginning," Merkel said Thursday in a speech to the lower house of parliament. "Let's not gamble away what we've achieved and risk a setback."" - Bloomberg

From The Mail

Wuhan laboratory scientists 'did absolutely crazy things' to alter coronavirus and enabled it to infect humans, Russian microbiologist claims

[cheshire pete] 24/4/2020 07:51

Jury is still out on where the virus came from, a wet market or a laboratory and if the latter whether it was an accident or not. There seems to be little doubt however that it came from China. Problem is that it seems that WHO sees it as part of its role to defend China against criticism. Why?

Lessons for the Bank of England from the ERM, the banking crash and BrexitBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: APRIL 24, 2020I am reproducing this article which was recently posted on CapX in co-operation with the Centre for Policy Studies:There is no such thing as an Independent Central Bank. They are all the creatures of the states that own them. To those who thought otherwise the virus is changing the reality and rhetoric. Central Banks and treasuries are working together to try to offset the damage lock down and closures are doing to economies.Full article htTps://johnredwoodsdiary.com/2020/04/24/lessons-for-the-bank-of-england-from-the-erm-the-banking-crash-and-brexit/

Who .. is the customer?

[minerve 2] 23/4/2020 22:59

It doesn't work like that I'm afraid. He isn't buying sausages from Tesco.

LOL

Go to bed Cheshire, get some rest.

[cheshire pete] 23/4/2020 22:46

He is one of the customers as the leader of a contributing nation.

[minerve 2] 23/4/2020 22:37

Cheshire

Just one problem, Trump IS NOT THE CUSTOMER of WHO.

[cheshire pete] 23/4/2020 22:16

If the customer isn't happy, then query the bill. Trump not happy with WHO so he threatens to withdraw funding. Can't see why anyone would have a problem with that.

[alphorn] 23/4/2020 22:05

Poika #399. Agree with you 100%
Same for the others in that family (UN etc).

[minerve 2] 23/4/2020 21:13

The will of the virus.

"Too many enormous publicly funded organisations wasting public money - FACT."

You heard it from the oracle.

LOL

[minerve 2] 23/4/2020 21:04

"we" = not a gammon.

[diku] 23/4/2020 21:01

Poikka...I wasn't thinking that.. you assumed it...I am more interested in building merchants/Plumbers opening...you mentioned B&Q hence my question...

[scruff1] 23/4/2020 20:50

Agree with you there Mr e. Only reason for staying in is it ain't worth getting out. I reckon I will be long gone before this anywhere near pre virus levels. Cant see any optimistic notes wherever I look. Even when dividends restart they wont buy a cup of tea. It's gonna be the same sort of torture as holding a duffer on Aim.
Only positive is there is some Ray's of joy. Bought a few Fres about a month ago for just under £6. Good to trade and currently nudging £8.

Alps - "The US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, has said today that his country, until recently the World Health Organization’s biggest donor, may never restore funding to the UN health body.

Next will be WTO as Trump has previously stated on several occasions.

For the natives on here - take extra care if you want to jump into a boat with no bottom to it. Even Poika with his boating experience would tell you that."

What my mate Pompeo actually said was that the WHO needed a fundamental reform, which I wholeheartedly endorse. Of course, if they can't get around to reforming and clearing out the deadwood, then maybe the US won't restore funding.

Too many enormous publicly funded organisations wasting public money - FACT.

Diku - "Which 2 building companies?..."

That sounds as if you disbelieve me, diku - Taylor Woodrow and Vistry, dear heart, and others will undoubtedly follow suit.
