The ban on evictions ends today.

Expect to see a surge in evictions... especially btl investors looking to see their investments.

It seems the shorters are getting there fingers burnt a lot lately, didn't I read somewhere that they lost 450 million, Perhaps explains why there are getting so desperate, I will stick with the greatest investor in the land thanks ! buy when others are fearful, Thanks Warren never a truer word & has made me a lot of money in the past.

EI
"Best to keep emotion out of it when looking at an investment case,"

agreed. What's important is what actions the gov take and the consequences of that action on the market.
Posting in hindsight that the decisions the gov took is pointless when it comes to the investment case.

We're very likely to a 2nd national lockdown. If not, several regions will have severe restrictions imposed.

Plus Brexit is still currently affecting the market, with Boris saying the deadline is mid-Oct, so about 3 weeks away.

The uncertain events coming together in a short space of time. Again.

They aren't ever going to buy shares here, they are very likely paid to post and are working from a script to try to dissuade investors and sow seeds with such macro problems such as covid and brexit are going to focus on TW. Now why would someone have an interest in dissuading investors on this specific stock. Are they short? Are they working for someone that's short? They certainly aren't talking this down just from passing interest because what would be the point in that?

Sikhy £1000,000 not 1 million shares, but we won't see 20p will we? & TBF I don't think we will see 80p either, My point is I would rather have all my cash in this than the bank,
The Unions have told the BBC that they are surprised they have not heard of more redundancies considering any company considering making 100 or more staff redundant need to notify the government at lease 45 days (Working days I Assume) notice, Hasn't this passed as Furlough ends in 42 Days, Even the Boe have said there will be less redundancies than they thought, Judging by the fact there are more cars on the road in the morning rush hour than pre covid, where the F--K are they going if they are working at home & still furloughed ?, I do sometimes wonder If the Government actually knows exactly how many people are still on furlough? Hopefully get a chance to buy another chunk first thing tomorrow.

My stance on the housing market is that Suspending stamp duty may have created an additional surge in demand for houses, Even though IMO pent up demand is driving the market, This coupled with the 20% reduction in new houses being built this year is IMHO going to create a shortage in new houses next year & beyond,If supply can not meet demand prices will continue to rise, With huge land banks owned & paid for the hb's can build to meet demand & thus controlling prices, Where as in the past houses were built on spec with interior fit outs the same as your neighbours, Today most houses are sold of plan & this enable the likes of TW to tailor a house to meet the clients need & ensures they do not have thousands of surplus houses awaiting potential buyers, most of the houses we supply to will have their owners moving in 2-6 weeks after our items have been installed.

Best to keep emotion out of it when looking at an investment case,
personal opinions on lockdowns are pretty meaningless in that context.
Some will agree, some will disagree.

What's relevant is what the government intends to do. And it looks like
more restrictions are on the way.

As we know the share price has been well ahead of events, on a downward trajectory
since June.

Not sure I did say that did I Sikh, except of course in your own fevered imaginings. Whilst I may not have personally agreed with it, I actually said that the initial decision to lockdown was understandable given what was known at the time. It then became clear that hospitals weren't becoming overwhelmed, and that the mathematical models seemed to to be somewhat wide of the mark as far as the mortality rate was concerned (even with the propensity for classifying everything under the Sun as a covid19 death). Yet the lockdown carried on regardless. Following the science no doubt. Maybe if they hadn't been so intent on beating down and rubbishing dissenting views, we might have actually got some science. It is after all a process of criticism and peer review rather than blindly accepting models that may as well have been read in the dregs of a teacup.

Ahhh, the old 'Prevention is better than cure'. Very fond of the trite catchphrases aren't we Sikh. But yes, it is a basic maxim that is hard to dispute. Except of course it is highly debatable that anything has been prevented. The situation now is little different to where we were when all this started. I would also add that prevention is only better than cure if the consequences of what you are trying to prevent are worse than the effects of the measures put in place to prevent it.

Anyway, I think I am losing sight that this is actually a TW thread. These posts have no real place here, and probably should be deleted. It's the last I will say on the matter.

[essentialinvestor] 20/9/2020 16:17

Would be surprised if TW traded much below 90 pence
and may not get to that level.

[sikhthetech] 20/9/2020 15:04

Indigo,

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, eh. Where did you post in March/April that there shouldn't be any lockdowns????

Prevention is better than cure. It's better to have empty Nightingale hospitals than overwhelmed NHS hospitals, which would result in even more deaths for patients with non-covid conditions.
The point is one death is too many, regardless of what caused it.


This is about how a 2nd wave is likely to lead to further lockdowns and how it would affect HBs, stockmarket and the economy. The HBs themselves have expressed concerns about covid, brexit and unemployment.

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 20/9/2020 12:27

The hospitals are empty. Stop scaremongering. The average age group that are now tearing positive are that which won't develop any serious symptoms that would require hospital admission. The ones that had underlying illness and the ones that were therefore susceptible have already succumbed, sadly.

[sikhthetech] 20/9/2020 12:07

One death is too many if measures can be taken to prevent it.
There aren't more people being admitted to hospital and put on ventilators because of increased testing!!!! People will mild symptoms aren't admitted to hospital so the number being tested is irrevelant.


The problem isn't whether the death rate is low but the rising number of hospital admissiona and those on ventilators, which can overwhelm the health service.

Looking at England alone, a month ago there were around 50-60 hospital admissions daily.
Currently there are around 200 hospital admissions daily in England alone, that's a 3 fold increase than a month ago.

According to gov figures,as of yesterday, there are over a 1081 people in hospital and 138 on ventilators.

Nightingale Hospitals are being reopened because of the significant increases in cases.

[jugears] 20/9/2020 11:43

In my opinion we will not see a cure for covid 19 until china has bought up all the companies around the world with bombed out share prices, just a thought.
I agree there are more cases of covid because we are testing more people,many dont even know they have it & have had no symptoms at all, in my opinion covid seriously only effects very few people except the ethnic minorities which in my opinion are the worst culprits for not social distancing!

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 20/9/2020 10:48

The numbers are up because they are testing more people it's not rocket science.

[inaminute] 20/9/2020 09:22

The govt aren't creating figures. The numbers are up because many people have been stupid. Very long term holder here with many shares but not blind to the obvious.

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 20/9/2020 08:43

Agree and people will start to realise that, the gov seem to be almost self fulfilling in that they "predicted" a second wave and they are now creating just that with figures just in order to save face. People will still by cars, houses, cats and dogs lockdown or no lockdown.
