Just as worrying to hold cash.
printing money will end badly.
Zimbabwi type hype inflation after short period of deflation.

Remembering Russia late 1990's.
Tanslator said,'we should have bought something with it whilst it had value.
Property, Investments, gold, anything but the paper money.
Get rid of.

Same in Argentina..buy a farm with your savings before the currency crashes.
Right now cash is king for a while.

Heard an idiot economist on TV saying we must produce 'helicopter' money and hand it to everyone.
Then would go out shopping and everyone would be rich.
Sounds simple, so paper money worries us.

Never been more difficult to be an investor.

Banks have never had so much money. Credit card companies getting paid back. There is ongoing a big write down in debt levels as people with nothing to spend it on start paying back their debts and so very possible a strong V shaped recovery. Bust and Boom.

A V-shaped recovery? Are you guys for real? Between bankruptcies, unemployment and increased debt, what on earth makes you think things are just going to pick up and carry on where they were?

[diku] 07/5/2020 22:06

Across the board no divis is the new norm...could be blessing in disguise...potential for a V shape recovery if and when they unlock the lockdown...

"In addition, to further ensure that liquidity is maximised within the Security Group, it has agreed not to make any distributions to the wider Marston's Group until after 2 October 2021 at the earliest."

So if 950 pubs are not paying anything to the Group - that's goodbye to the dividends until after Oct 2021

Nice weather pubs should be open raking in money....

Am I right in thinking that a British pub licence covers off-sales too? If so, Marstons need to get their act together to boost the take home trade via this route too. Special packs, special promotions - when the beer gardens open up.

[brownbear3] 06/5/2020 21:32

Pubs opening beer gardens could be a +

Who goes in Gap

[loganair] 06/5/2020 20:37

The country I'm currently living in the Government has already said that pubs are going to be the last places to open which I think is similar to the UK as basically our Government follows UK guidelines.

For interest Gap have said the following about opening their stores:

1. All toilets and fitting rooms will remain closed.
2. All shop assistants and customers must where masks.
3. Hand sanitizer must be used upon entering the store.
4. Any item of clothing returned will be put into quarantine before being put back on the shop floor.

Hairy hound can open her back doors apparently so long as she has a bushy garden. Always do your own thinking and when in Rome, do as boudica.

If pubs stay closed until september / december , then 12p will be hit fairly easily , not nice .

Italy, Spain and France have all said the real number of people who have died from the coronavirus is most probably double the official number as most who die at home or in care homes for the elderly are not tested to see whether they had the coronavirus.

In the country I'm currently living in all people that die even if in their own homes or in care homes for the elderly must be tested to see if they had the coronavirus and the probable cause of their death. For the past month the number of people who have died from the coronavirus in care homes for the elderly is about 80% of the total number of deaths in the country as a whole from the coronavirus.

South Korea 10,800 cases population about 51m
UK 190,000 cases pop about 67m

[bobbybullet] 05/5/2020 07:56

Just back from South Korea. Their roughly 6 weeks ahead of us, though they were quicker to lockdown. Have to download app when you arrive. They had no new domestic cases one day I was there. Bars and restaurants open, social distancing in place but low key. I think we are in a bunker mentality at the moment. Change will be slow but we will get there.

[creddy] 05/5/2020 07:32

Yes, 8 billion peanuts on a macro level but Rishi has confirmed it's too expensive and scheme will not be extended. Loans will be available instead. I suspect at commercial rates.
