thank you EI - on my watch list (Youngs).

Can't say I like the owner or his pubs but JDW should be:

- Speculative (perhaps short-term) buy if COVID-in-hospitals numbers improve during this new 'lockdown'

- Longer-term buy on any concrete positive vaccine announcement

i went to my local spoons on Friday . 1/3 full yet poor service , was only allowed 3 pints with meal and was asked to leave being told . a maximum of 3 points was company policy.

EI - there ought to be a trading update soon, around 11th November - it may just track sideways for a while

[arja] 02/11/2020 08:28

chart suggests about 755 is short term support area as worst case scenario,

[essentialinvestor] 02/11/2020 08:17

I mentioned last night down around 7% near the open, not a bad guess!.

Where it goes from here?.

[arja] 02/11/2020 08:14

surprised it is off so much as surely this lockdown was widely anticipated by the market ! one never knows I guess !

[lodgeview] 02/11/2020 07:57

Maybe 3 percent

Wow FTSE about to turn positive!

Unlike Donald Trump, some of us read books.

Some pensioners like me even understand the difference between life expectancy at birth and life expectancy at 80.

Let me see now... person, man, woman, camera, t.v.....yep, fit to lead the Western World!

Communist China makes Britain a financial basket case

You couldn't make it up. China caused all this misery and they are carrying on as if nothing has happened. And we are making them rich by buying all their junk, and more so as we get poorer.

Just one more point while I'm on a roll lol .What was all the arguing about with Burnham about the money for workers when they now come out with 80 percent furlough. It wasn't there when it was only the north going to be in lockdown .

[gozzie2] 01/11/2020 22:29

I was watching something in Australia on TV and they are almost back as normal. How great that would be .

[gozzie2] 01/11/2020 22:28

Thats true essential ive got people to worry about that are at risk though .I do agree its terrible for other illnesses thats why I want them to get on top of it .

[gozzie2] 01/11/2020 22:24

Il take advantage tomorrow Luderitz atb.

GOZ, referenced as so many comments on this site are ...it's only a flu etc.
Yes for many it wont even be a mild flu, many will be symptom free,
but unfortunately it's the 20% of serious cases that are doing the damage.


JDW would see down around 7% near the open?.

[gozzie2] 01/11/2020 22:21

Anyway thats my last post on the subject .My view is we will have lockdown or at least tier 3 until after New year. Its been made worse by slow action and we are playing catchup. We shall see what happens .For peoples health I hope it doesn't get as bad as I fear because a lot take no notice of the restrictions. People I know will definitely break them. Whose going to check if they have friends down .I blame the public as much as the government. Hope you all do well with your trading in this eventful time .Atb

99p a pint - 50 = 49p a pint even better 🍺🍺🍺

[gozzie2] 01/11/2020 22:13

I keep hearing about these flu figures but we have had lockdown or a form of it for many months .Manchester has been in tier 2 since July the figure would quickly spread out of control with no restrictions. A mate of a mate got sent home recently to die at home they need the beds .They are not doing all this for the good of their health (ours probably ) or votes .Im usually to the left but i can't fault them for lockdown ,just too slow they react to what we already know will happen at least a week later .

[essentialinvestor] 01/11/2020 22:05

In an average UK flu season approx 3,500 people are hospitalised.
That's the number for the entire flu season, which is usually 26 weeks


UK COVID-19 hospitalisations are currently running at around 1,450 Per Day.


My personal view is another lockdown is catastrophic for many smaller businesses
and livehoods. Areas from mental health, to cancer diagnosis and a myriad in between will suffer.
