Gbh2 - it would make sense. Governments need to be able to focus on health matters without financial pressures in background.

Guess people have decided that of all things it will affect house builders two days running we have been slaughtered compared to the general market!

[gbh2] 13/3/2020 15:44

I read the Stock market may be shut down eventually.

[martyn9] 13/3/2020 15:43

Could be suspended or reduced, gawd knows.

[gbh2] 13/3/2020 15:42

IF the country goes into lock down I guess nothing can be certain.

Is there the possibility that the Special Dividend will not be paid?

[eeza] 13/3/2020 15:18

Like night follows day.

FTSE once again dragged down by Wall Street. What's the betting that the DOW surges once our market closes.

[doyden] 13/3/2020 14:55

TW is a very different company now to what it was in December 2008. I can't see TW quite returning to those lows!

[stevieweebie2] 13/3/2020 14:54

Okay Jug you've lost me there but it doesnt take a lot.

[martyn9] 13/3/2020 14:32

Yes stevie remember it well, and i'm waiting for the £1.10 to hit as markets will be jittery for 4-12 weeks before cv peaks (according to the health professionals)

[stevieweebie2] 13/3/2020 14:22

I remember TW being ninepence in the last melee, just as an example of how bad things can get, not saying this will do that this time but has further to go yet I think, just one of the few prices that I remember from 12/13 yrs back, wish I had loaded up then I can tell you.

[eeza] 13/3/2020 14:05

Guide dog.

[gbh2] 13/3/2020 14:03

Tw leading the way down as usual :)

[eeza] 13/3/2020 13:42

HB's in the dog-house today.

[dr_smith] 13/3/2020 10:59

Eeza & Peteret..Thank-you.
Jugears. Yes, saw your post, good to have seperate provision for work too, but many I assume younger, different stage of life, may not be able to ride bumps as long.
In theory market is liquid giving fair value, even for earlier than expected sale, but these are unusual times.

[jugears] 13/3/2020 10:46

DR-Smith hence the reason I don't take chances & invest money I might need else where in the future, I have made some nice long term investments today as difficult to no where these will go but still have funds to invest more if they fall further.

[peteret] 13/3/2020 10:37

I agree with you.Us market opens at 1.30 though Due to daylight saving

[martyn9] 13/3/2020 10:33

Mass media hysteria, ffs put matters in context especially bbc,british biased corporation.

[eeza] 13/3/2020 10:29

Dave
Us clocks have moved - open at 1330 now.

Pre brexit, I sold o'seas influeneced co's and retained HB's thinking no change, or even share price increase, as a port in the storm. IIRC I had the biggest single day loss on my folio..but it came back.. slowly.
When these weird events happen, IMV the big thing is, does this really change the expected flow of business. Here, HB's/TW it seemingly doesn't.

The other factor is investors putting money into market in hope of a return, and macro-economics, the amount of money put in, all looking for good co's.
The PE ratio has been "normal", (FTSE number topsy not valid IMV) and no reason for that not to continue to be that same figure, business wise, but market has likely taken money out to bonds/gold/other safer ground, but given time, they will come back, as co's continue to make profits and make themselves better propositions than the alternatives.

Whilst HB's continue as normal, there are folks presumably not being paid (or on reduced sick pay), so less demand to buy houses.
I assume this is a low percentage, as I'm not aware of wholsale UK employees not going to work, other than flight staff laid off, sports & music events..but I may not be up to speed on that.

To play the long game, can mean you are locked in through troughs, and if you have to sell at an unpredicted time to meet domestic repairs etc, it can cost dearly.
To jump in now and what seems a great price, but can mean that money is locked away for longer than you imagine.

World markets down over night, we're thankfully flat so far, but only 10.15 and its Friday (shhh it's 13th) and much can happen before close, usual US influence from 2.30, and weekend anticipation of good/bad news as CV charts monitored.

IMO

[jugears] 13/3/2020 09:41

Its friday the 13th as well !

[clarky5150] 13/3/2020 09:36

Strange day so far. Wondering what’s holding the FTSE price up as everything I own gave back its gains within 20 minutes.

[tlobs2] 13/3/2020 09:04

I remember when the Brexit vote went through a few years ago. This was one of the biggest losers in the FTSE100. I started buying at around 115p.

In the years that followed the various investments in TW have generated the biggest returns and dividends for me (along with Easyjet).

The current health challenges that the country face are hopefully relatively short term ones so I see another re-investment here being a pretty safe place to be.
