eeza,

where would you see the connection on your comment?

[eeza] 13/3/2020 19:31

TW well down whilst even Ryanair & Brit Airways were up.

[turvart] 13/3/2020 19:23

Yes JUGS,

It was around 2009 if my memory serves correctly, well Novartis lost millions on that vaccine!

Swine flu put me in hospital for weeks!!! & was off work for nearly 6 months ! It was around the financial crisis as I had just bought a new house so 2009 I think.

1 NHS,

Get into the real World and stop panicking about this coronavirus, remember the swine flu and Sars and others and then after a few months it gets unheard of?

Back in 2008 or maybe 2009 I forget the exact time I was a contractor who worked at Novartis and they spent multi-millions on a vaccine for the swine flu and it went into nothing and they lost millions that they invested in that programme.

maybe i should have said million of people risk losing their jobs.the risk to the housing market is real.

[eeza] 13/3/2020 17:50

Dow now up 1000 points - now the FTSE's filled its nappy.

[gaygay3] 13/3/2020 17:19

his the market pricing in a recession which will it the HB looks like it to me

[sr2day] 13/3/2020 17:06

thousands of people could lose their jobs due to this virus.this will lead to less people buying houses.so 100p is possible here.

Wonder if Pete Redfern will dip into the market and pick up £1m in shares as he did the last time we had a rout, December 2018. That had a galvanising effect on Wimps and within a couple of months they had put on 50p. See what transpires over next few weeks once it becomes clear that most people will shake of coronavirus, and life will look more positive.

I repurchased a few today, 22p cheaper than I sold them yesterday, also stuck a few more quid in LLOY, next divi about 8% atm.

I'm keeping most of the cash until we hear the Army is to be deployed, I understand they've been ordered to be prepared.

It happens time and time again. They drag us down then head north as soon as we close. Come the following day, their futures are well in the red again which of course stamps all over the FTSE.It's no wonder the Dow has grown massively over the years and the FTSE is where it is. I wish I knew why our market is so tied into theirs. We never lead, always follow.

Hi Clarky, Wimps (and the other builders) free fall has a lot to do with the fact they are heavily traded by the professionals (Hedgies, Algo's, HFT etc) and they are either in "risk off" mode, or volatility generating mode depending on which side of the market they trade. As we recognise, very little to do with Wimps fundamentals.

Fortunately, or unfortunately this is the way of the modern markets. Good if you have the right temperament to buy in these markets, and benefit from the recovery in due course. Or bad if you follow the crowd and buy when most others are influenced by Bulletin Board chatter and misunderstandings about how the market interprets high dividend distributions. Of course IMHO.

[clarky5150] 13/3/2020 16:33

Good old DOW shooting off now...Surprise!

[clarky5150] 13/3/2020 16:20

so we are going to finish 6% down on a blue day for the FTSE. Laughable! I wished I had money in the wings waiting to throw in.

[clarky5150] 13/3/2020 16:10

or am I missing something here?? Don't get me wrong, a fall in line with markets is understandable which is what we were having but suddenly HB are lepers.

[clarky5150] 13/3/2020 16:09

Looks like the lunatics are running the asylum here. I can understand cruise companies, leisure sector and commercial being hit but HB is as far away from potentially going bust over this as there could be.

[martyn9] 13/3/2020 15:58

Lets face it monetary stimulus in the budget did nothing.
