Good morning Minerve, hope you had a restless night fighting your demons. Save me on your Provident take, I advise you to get out while you can. If you had operated a stop loss when you bought, your losses would have been no more than 10%, instead of the 42% you suffered.

Barnier's woes and why he needs to wind his neck in. EU problems are huge starting with the German car industry's unrest at bureaucratic ignorance, the French Cheese and Wine industry, Italy's banks and food exporters, Spanish separation, Hungary and Poland's distrust of the EU, and Fishing....what about fishing? Boris has to hold firm on our fishing.

For all those remainers who live in cloud cuckoo land, the above is just a sample of poor old Barnier's woes. Juncker has gone and Tusk has gone missing, how long before they turn on Barnier.

"What happens when it spawns in the slums of India or Syria"

Just getting to India and the Middle East now apparently...Iran leading the way.

"Mapping the Coronavirus in the Middle East - 9 countries hit as alarm raised over vulnerable refugee camps"
Unprepared countries across the Middle East are scrambling to respond as they've begun recording more and more coronavirus cases.
While official government figures across the region likely fall short of the true number — for example hard hit Iran may have already seen 50 deaths according to one lawmaker in the city of Qom despite the Health Ministry denying this high figure and confirming only 12 deaths to date — it's deeply alarming that Covid-19 has been confirmed in multiple corners of the Middle East, from Egypt to the Gulf to Iran.

Notice also that the United Arab Emirates now has at least 13 confirmed cases, in a worrisome sign in could hit the gulf region hard, given also it's a major international transport hub straddling east Asia and the West.

Official government numbers of infected in the region are as follows:
Bahrain (17 cases)  
Egypt (1 case) 
Iran (61 cases - 16 dead)  
Iraq (5 cases)  
Israel (2 cases)  
Kuwait (3 cases)  
Lebanon (1 case)  
Oman (4 cases) 
UAE (13 cases)

Many of the most seriously ill patients are waiting for hours on trolleys and in corridors as the NHS struggles to find them beds, BBC research shows.

Nearly a quarter of patients admitted on to wards during December and January in England faced delays of more than four hours before a bed could be found. - BBC


And they say they can handle the virus outbreak!

You would have to be a right plonka to believe this government.

Careful,'re 170.
The real problem is that once again China is the origin of this super bug.
What happens when it spawns in the slums of India or Syria.
You really can't compare this with the flu as vaccines regularly updated are widely available.

Stop losses should be renamed stop profits.

[minerve 2] 26/2/2020 10:40

Although symptoms are typical of common flu the virulence could be much much higher because incubation periods and asymptomatic carriers are higher. In other words, greater percentages of the population become infected overwhelming health services which then drastically alters the mortality rate.

[minerve 2] 26/2/2020 10:36

Yes, all those stop-losses kicking in.

Show me a portfolio with stop-losses at 10% below current share price and I'll show you a portfolio destined to lose 10%.

[maxk] 26/2/2020 10:33

Thats about it careful!


Bog standard flu kills half a million (they think) per annum.

It is easy to cause panic.
I remember people queuing at Northern Rock to get their money out.
Peston and his panic reporting, almost single handed caused a run.
Tell any of us that our bank is running out of cash and it is the rational thing to do, panic is logical.

Now we have people catching a de lux cold or flu, which as usual, kills off many of the old and sick.

Set against a World population of 7bn+ this is just another nasty infection, nothing special.
About 50m each year die of old age and illness, year in year out, various reasons.

The real problem is that there is too much news, 24/7 coverage, too many newspapers, too much internet.
After Brexit they have nothing to talk about, impossible to fill all of that air time, so they big up a bog standard virus and that gets everyones attention.

M - certainly not to read Rubi-con. Lol

"From a charity, a co-operative, a relative or better still, take several grand from Provident and stop paying them back. "

Great Jacko, it shows your limited understanding of this situation.

Do you actually know what "sub-prime" means?

[crossing_the_rubicon] 26/2/2020 09:20

UK car market likely to suffer similar contractions.

But it'll be blamed on Brexit by deceitful lying Remoaners.

LLPE now yielding 6.01%

Safer than the Ords and maintenance free.

Sub 50p looking a real possibility this week. That may stop the rot for a while

[xxxxxy] 26/2/2020 08:55

Lloyd must have nothing to do with Metro.

[maxk] 26/2/2020 08:40

That will mean a 10.15 "eye opener" to lubricate that parts coffee cant reach.

Never ever thought I'd say this, but minerve is just about the only voice of reason here"
