year before last the government made a change to leverage trading in the uk.
they made it 4 x your principle money instead of up to 20 x.
because of this, it has become far more easy for the big boys to push small traders to margin calls.
When I say small traders I talking about £500,000 and less.
Today IG Markets reports on there website 70% of there clients lose money.

I feel the big boys have shorted this so heavily that it will take time for them to close there deals and to do that they will need stock,
which means further down to get people to throw there shares in and a longer time at these lows,
plus all the quarterly results are going to start to show financial shortfalls because of whats happening, and because people out there just are not doing what the government asks and I see them every time I need to go out the house, I'm in my car on my own and groups of lads walking round with the same spacing as if nothing was going on, I needed to fill up my car, 7 old people came past and bought a news paper whilst I did it.
I'm just totally disheartened at how uncooperative people are towards what the government is asking.

If they die, they only have themselves to blame, and the figures released are just stupidly incorrect because,
if you think you have it, then self isolate, dont contact your gp dont contact 111
dont get tested, just stay at home for 14 days
so that bit of NHS advice just tells you they really dont have a clue about how many have it, they only know when you get critical and are about to die and get taken to hospital.

first Boris Johnson needs to address himself as what he says is nothing like the reality of whats going on and all these supposed tests just arnt really happening and you would struggle to get one and secondly the public just need to be locked down now as they arnt doing what they are told and fortunately they are spoiling it for the rest who are and just sticking two fingers up at us.
they will kill people further down the butterfly effect line.
the situation will become worse and go to full lockdown, more people will be made redundant, we might as well say we are in a recession now because you can just see all the trade dropping off. This is another snowball just gaining media momentum.

And when your shorting the stock and you want to short it further you keep giving the public the conception that its bottomed out and encourage them to buy, you do this by making the price go up, and they then start buying, which allows you to sell what you have borrowed (as shorts are always borrowed stock), then its just a matter of changing the prices on the book which gets changed ever so easily and they send it down.
leaving you fulfilling there shorts and them keeping your money.
at this point in time in with what is happening, this just hasn't finished falling yet.
pretty much the news will tell you when this is over if you want to get the lowest point of the dip.

Hope the vaccine trials go well but sadly by the time it is allowed out of testing this thing will have already been and gone, 18-24 months it takes to get through clinical tests
can you imagine if this vaccine did something nasty to you and you injected half the population with it.
once we have all had it and 14 days has passed from then this thing will possibly cease to exist on the planet.

Looking at the small trades you can see why small holders lose money they sell when they should be buying

[portside1] 23/3/2020 09:35

Buy buy buy the time is running out to buy cheap

[portside1] 23/3/2020 09:32

Interesting RNS from Stagecoach this morning, for anyone interested. Sheds some light on the huge drops in business from concessionary and paying passengers and such like.

US futures limit down. Thanks for playing

[joe king1] 22/3/2020 21:37

[dope007] 22/3/2020 21:06

If you find facts boring then don't read them

[joe king1] 22/3/2020 19:26

Go and shag your wife, put a smile on her face at least, coz you're grim az fuk mun.

Not when everyone is getting shut down. Makes no sense to leave them open in the most abnormal time in my lifetime. FTSE could absolutely tank this week in a vey disorderly manner. Be interesting to see if it gets to the end of the week and remain open

7) Australian Researchers Testing Two Drugs as Potential ‘Cures’ for the Virus


At the University of Queensland Centre for Clinical Research, scientists have found that two different medications—both of which are registered and available in Australia—have completely wiped out traces of the disease in test tubes.

Not only that, the drugs were given to some of the nation’s first COVID-19 patients, which resulted in “disappearance of the virus and complete recovery from the infection,” researchers told News.com.au.

The university is now looking to conduct a nationwide trial with the drugs to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of each drug administered separately and together.

Not that, they are all doing that. I meant keeping the mkts open.

[dope007] 22/3/2020 17:06

Seriously?

[dope007] 22/3/2020 16:27

Market will be closed soon. It makes complete sense to do it. Stock prices are currently irrelevant now and they are only going in one direction and that is down, so close the mkts and fight this virus.
