Wouldnt surprise me to see microsoft back at 82. Would be good value there given its services . Especially given the world is going into a new way to do business, and highly likely, that will become the norm and be less travel after the virus anyway

Its obviously way overvalued regardless - as are most - but looking now, surprising reaction too given its likely importance in the coming year.

Probably just down to the fact its overvalued rather than virus

..........

pretty lazy funds caught in the likes of alphabet, microsoft etc. Bad form

SR,

I have took every step in the book to avoid this crash, I hold Gold also, but I am not selling my Gold because once you hold Gold it becomes a personal issue and one gets attached to holding it, it becomes personal and Gold brings sentimental values.

Microsoft - hold on - let me look - but agree on the whole - it is like a benchmark for succeed or fail on pensions

[turvart] 21/3/2020 09:28

SR,

Do you actually realise the impact on World pension funds IF Microsoft breaches 118? that is why I'm on edge, I just hope the Governments do the sensible thing and suspend the market!

[sentimentrules] 21/3/2020 09:23

True on pensions

But since 2008, they never found a solution to QE/ Rates conundrum.

I honestly think this is their chance to get out of QE and low rates. But for that to happen, markets need to reset - crud companies folding. And the market can invest in strong business again, rather than false market creations

So, it will probably punish those coming into pension in the next year. For the rest its great opportunity

Hopefully the goverment dont let those pension holders in near term, suffer - and bail them out . Zero tax on the total - maybe a cash boost added to OAP to make up loss on private pension.

It can be done for near term pensions at not a huge cost - and everyone gets out of the market reset, fairly unscathe

SR,

I honestly feel that World stock markets MUST be suspended! unless this is what Governments want?, IF and a very big IF, if Microsoft goes below 118 then the World can kiss their pensions goodbye!

[sentimentrules] 21/3/2020 09:15

Probably a fair bit more dropping to come alright, but to be fair, -10% aint bad at all, given the losses going on all around. In pension terms, thats damn good for funds held in all scenarios

I think a lot of pensions are already down 30 to 60% on varied structures. So i wouldnt be too hard on myself if i was you

[sentimentrules] 21/3/2020 09:09

Gud day turvart - good to see you back in action

been a very strange start to week for us all - but adapt and overcome - feels nearly normal already now. Just the few changes like gym etc, find other ways and everything cool

[turvart] 21/3/2020 09:07

How you doing SR my good friend?,

Hope you have had a great week my friend?

[sentimentrules] 21/3/2020 08:57

Dont worry about missing lows in things. Whilst repo is pointing down , you are trying to catch a falling knife in many things

id rather miss the low in repo and things, let that get a solid base turn going, and then look for value pullbacks in stuff

Obviously it goes a hell of a lot deeper for the likes of me in analysis

but i reckon 99% of who is on the forum, is for a bit of fun in markets or second income

so thats the daddy chart

[sentimentrules] 21/3/2020 08:51

Once that chart started diverging from market record highs late 2019, money was leaving.

It wasnt luck that had them out just before virus, or shorting.

[sentimentrules] 21/3/2020 08:48

This has been the one constant in all scenarios that were unprecedented, max the chart





once that starts turning, dump the property. Many large prop investors time with this and often this alone.

So the time to buy property and believe real market confidence is actually coming back is to wait the turn at wherever low comes

If i was working full time and part time dabbing in markets, - this would be a very important chart to me. Because its a good way to gauge institutional feeling. Ok its not an all out professional approach - but i think it would save many holding too long in things and selling too fast

Patience required - wait this - much safer market for investors then. Today is mostly for traders

[sentimentrules] 21/3/2020 08:41

To be honest, why bother buying property these days anyway?

Look how hard it has become to probably sell a house, in a two week window. Who will even visit agents and houses to look these days?

many investors in property probably gonna find it a fairly i-liquid market and get caught in the cull. Those in the UK will be more fortunate

ETF's you can gain the exact same exposure , return (if not renting out), but liquidity is instant when events occur

Spoke to a major building manager, and note, only a friend, and not on a board etc. So its not chat from the top

general feeling seems to be, that they want to hold back stock and land. Be more focused on social housing projects for now. that wil stop overs supply And it would seem the banks are happy to carry them through on this as they really need rates up before offering mortgages aggressively.

For homes to sell now, the deposit rates are the crippler for 95%. Doubt that will get relaxed

Its a good time for mega rich to start buying maybe in 6 months? That old money that only ever invests in recessions - will be very active again.

Personally if that was me, id be looking to properties in other developed countries where 80% salaries are not going to be paid. They will probably get hit for 60% whilst the uk 20/30%

Whilst i cant go out and buy 500 houses lol, can use etfs to take advantage of it globally anyway

Dow and ftse crashing today in ig weekend.
Yesterday’s dead cat didn’t last long did it! Doesn’t bode well for Next week!!!

[propinv] 21/3/2020 08:25

SR, Kathy,I see opposite with housing. Low interest rates. Cheap finance. What this quarantine will do is increase demand to have your own home. So only question then is, will people be able to get mortgage, will their jobs survive.

[sentimentrules] 21/3/2020 07:58

Did u take part two of the suggestion anyway? About to go diva

[marie1980_m] 21/3/2020 07:42

[thomas4billing] 21/3/2020 07:41

I did not follow you tip... Thanks though. As long as I did not sell, I did not loose and loosing would have made mefeel bad. I love feeling good.
