GUSS : Four separate I would have thought.

smartie6 : Don't think those who control the doomster BBC media in UK believe in your penultimate sentence. Their coverage in Syria with indiscriminate bombing of civilians, at will and with absolutely no protection, certainly doesn't reflect it. As for the so-called supermarket pandemonium ..words fail me !

My broker is of the view , and he has been pretty canny in the past, that 5000 is the correction level and was the aim of the hedgies. That's why I consider their well be some levelling out / consolidation this week.

Evidently rugby league giving 2 fingers to C10....superb!

On topic of Lloyds, if anyone is interested?

With this new divi plan, I.e. 4 payments a year, is there now only going to be one
ex div date? If we hold on 16th Apr we get all four payments or will they have divided qualifying dates?

Anyone know that please.

Brilliant!! 606 on 5live having a limited sports & CV19 update with Chappers & Robbie Savage. With any luck the Premiership will be null & void with Liverpool just needing 3 points to secure the title...fingers crossed.

IF ONLY PEOPLE HAD LISTENED



NO MAN IS AN ISLAND-CORONA VIRUS EPIDEMIC

A large proportion of the British population have the weekend off.

I believe this may be the last few days to prepare for the inevitable before mass panic.

My free simple advice is to do the following.

Draw as much cash out per day from your bank as you can.

Go food shopping for foods that store for two years, and that you would normally eat.

Get long term medication ( not easy on the NHS for more than 3 months.)

Buy heating fuel ( that you normally use ) dry timber / gas bottles f...

I'd lock the youngsters up first......... after all they cause it.

NOT ONE of the 20 or so UK deaths has corona virus on the death certificate.

It was the underlying causes that precipitated the deaths.

Funny how the MSM dont mention this.

They surely cannot be exacting revenge on the oldies for voting Brexit by falsely scaring the life out of them and threatening to keep them prisoners in their own houses for months?.

They would do that,surely ,would they?.

TOO RIGHT THEY WOULD

Absolutely. Lock down the vunerable and let the virus run free. Natures vaccine

A person can contract two viruses simultaneously yes. Flu can progress to viral pneumonia
as one example. If you can manage to avoid a cold stm, may be doing yourself a big favour.

I saw somewhere, can’t post link so just for consideration.

If Covid19 could prove fatal to:
1% of a healthy population = 650,000 for UK
and 10% of an impaired population, I.e. 75% of our population is impaired with
Obesities, allergies, genetic and acute medical issues, not to mention just old age, well, you do the maths.

Also we can expect 200,000 flu infections and millions of common colds in the same period. I expect you can catch all three simultaneously.
A worst case scenario is very frightening.

Well as people called 999 when KFC was closed for a few days, yes some people
really did, I'm guessing the Dunkirk spirt may literally be a thing of the past.

Interesting week in prospect in any case, whatever your views.

[chavitravi2] 15/3/2020 15:31

My view is "you have to get it to beat it" experts say if you are reasonable well it will be little more that a cold if you get it, and if you do you are unlikely to get it again. Cant help but feel this is over cooked by the media and some countries like Spain locking down for 15 days are just going to keep seeing it again and again crippling their economies and prolonging the virus with people coming in that are weeks behind with it, such as us re infecting again. I think we are right letting it take its gradual course.

Why are countries in the EU closing borders to each other? Thought all living in the EU were citizens of Europe and Nationalism was not allowed?

During a conference, Prof Pardis Sabeti, an expert in infectious disease, estimated that South Korea was testing "700 times more people per capita than the US".


So much for the good old USA.

It is a circus full of freaks, animals, clowns and trapeze artists.

Interesting to hear detailed experience of Italian icu doctors. No deaths at all in the group aged 26 or less, some get sick, but no deaths.

[mikemichael2] 15/3/2020 14:47

Branson won't give a stuff, he's well sorted. The staff,suppliers and share holders that will suffer while he sits back on his Island, or one of his many pads around the world.

[wendsworth] 15/3/2020 14:45

EssentialInvestor : Noted. Doubtless the hedgies and computerised trading platforms will be ahead of the game ....hence my final comment. Just have a feeling that we might see a levelling out this week . There are some excellent buys in the offing and 'they' will be well aware of it! Some cash generating utilities for example ? However I'm still a trifle wary of the banking sector which I think will be slower in it's share price recovery .

[wendsworth] 15/3/2020 14:36

Minerva : Absolutely agree with your comments ref Virgin. Branson has leeched off the public purse for donkeys years. The UK Government should follow his , and others , example and wait for Virgin to go under then pick up the assets for a song to form the basis of a national airline perhaps incorporating BA?

[essentialinvestor] 15/3/2020 14:28

For some better news, the South Korea numbers look much better,
although just to caution the initial surge may have been largely caused by
that religious sect ? -in any case something hopeful.

Hubai provenance has peaked, the rest of mainland China stats look lower than you
might expect?, but still even if not accurate, hopefully there is a positive trend there.
