You’ve lost the plot.
Maybe greed or desperation is driving your foolish comments?

The only thing causing a recession is the scaremongering press trying to grab sales with bad news. The problem being it's self fulfilling, 'there's a massive recession coming' - everyone stops spending.

Gaffer, only the fools will be euphoric. You sound like you’re under 30.
Do you know that people have died and more are about to as lockdown releases.
If not treated with caution then sad fools.

[gaffer73] 11/6/2020 09:11

Imo the economy will boom. Can you imagine how many people are going to want to go on holiday, eat out, shop when the lockdown is lifted. All the jobs which have been lost will return due to demand. Then there's the euphoric effect which will make people spend money, all in the run up to Christmas.

Sounds like you’ve switched to a story about the zombie apocalypse. What are you going to call it?

[mitchy] 11/6/2020 09:05

Centrica axe 5000. This is how it starts .

Hard to believe that a leak could have occurred. Hard to believe that any leak could have been deliberate. But equally hard to explain the 'spikes' - see earlier article.

Whatever, the thick public will continue to ensure the virus's survival amongst the population.

Re George Floyd trial.

Max the copper should get is 12.5 years else you know the judicial system is biased against Whites.

You're kidding, "secret cross dresser" would be many, many brownie points for these cranks!

[mikemichael2] 11/6/2020 08:59

They will end up getting rid of the lot, if you dig deep enough i'll bet even florence nightingale had a 'dark' secret. Was she a secret cross dresser ?

Here, hang on a quick google::

'The saintly 19th-century nurse has come to symbolize good will, sympathy, and self-sacrifice, but she also firmly believed women were good-for-nothing stupidheads who didn't deserve equal rights'

Pull her down!!!!

Further on the virus story:

"Sorenson told the news agency that he believes the virus is related to a number of "gain of function studies" being carried out in China. He also said that the U.S. and China had been collaborating on such research in advanced labs for many years.

The purpose of the gain of function studies is to artificially increase the transmissibility of a virus to make it easier to repeat scientific experiments quickly. Such manipulated viruses are referred to as "chimera."

Sorensen claims that at the early stages of the outbreak, Chinese scientists discussed the modified sequences in the virus. However, he said he believes that in recent months, the Chinese government has suppressed all public discourse on the subject.

"The inserted sequences should never have been published. Had it been today, it would never have happened. It was a big mistake the Chinese made. The inserted sequences have a functionality that we describe. We explain why they are essential. But the Chinese pointed to them first."

In response to the study, former M16 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove on June 4 told the Telegraph that the findings indicate the outbreak started with a leak from a Chinese lab. "I think this started as an accident. This raises the question of whether China will assume responsibility and whether China should pay compensation," said Dearlove.

Indeed, a report by Medium notes that Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) scientist Shi Zhengli, also known as "Bat Woman," and her team had been making "chimeric constructs" as early as 2007 and as recently as 2017. As part of a US$3.7 million U.S. NIH grant, Shi in 2019 wrote about using "S protein sequence data, infectious clone technology, in vitro and in vivo infection experiments" on Sarsr-CoV.

When the Sars-CoV2 genome was first sequenced and released to the public on Jan. 10, no closely related strains were known. However, on Jan. 23, Shi published a paper in which she stated that Sars-CoV2 was 96 percent identical to RaTG13, a strain she and her team had discovered in bats in Yunnan in 2013.

Shi claimed that Sars-CoV2 is too different from RaTG13 to have leaked from her lab. However, she has never provided the original samples from Yunnan to allow independent labs to sequence them to confirm that they have not been tampered with.

China has yet to allow an outside team of scientists to enter the WIV and review records of and samples from Shi's gain of function studies on bat coronaviruses. (nor will they!)

Beijing has also not allowed independent investigators to review lab security camera footage or interview staff.

Currently, the scientific community is relying on Shi's claim "on my life" that the pandemic did not start in her lab."

Mitch, ever thought of writing self help books and books on positiveness? Just seem a bit of a natural.

[mitchy] 11/6/2020 08:38

The DOW is due another big correction in my view. All of the stimulus packages are all but exhausted putting the economic base on very shifting sandy footings for no good return. I'm expecting a tsunami of Bankruptcies along with a second wave of virus. Once the dominoes start falling nothing will stop them now and world wide DEPRESSION will follow. No safe havens everything will fall, Gold, Bitcoin, housing market . First to go will be the cruise ship companies, then the airlines, holiday companies ,builders and when banks start to fail it will be game over. A real life apocalypse with social order breaking down .Good Luck.

[gaffer73] 11/6/2020 08:37

I think 71.2431

[smartie6] 11/6/2020 08:21

I think 17.4972p

[grahamite2] 11/6/2020 08:09

I don't know mikemichael, he's been talking sense lately. Some sense, anyway.

[mikemichael2] 11/6/2020 08:04

Why 17.5? why not 17?

[buywell3] 11/6/2020 07:54

USA wobbling now and looking likely again to trade south today

UK banks and financials in particular to do likewise

LLOY to 17.5p IMO by this xmas

[mikemichael2] 11/6/2020 07:51

Morning, enjoy your 3 hours or so of no Minerve time.

[buywell3] 11/6/2020 07:41

USA market now set up for another fall IMO

Re George Floyd trial

It will be interesting to see how the jury is picked for this

Unbiased jurors that have not been swayed by the media coverage will be in short supply

Down day number 2 for UK banks IMO to be followed next week by several more IMO

[aljm] 11/6/2020 07:31

hmmm, now why would they in the US be trying to get people worried about a 2nd wave ? wouldnt it be 'convenient' if people were back in lockdown later in the year so they have to vote by post in the election, now why would the Democrats want that ??
