OK I've just managed to program the algo to re-post this every hour just to f*ck the loony tunes rhythm up
switching over to auto pilot now
simples innit :)
just thought I'd break up the string of green boxes on my screen with a grown up discussion
95% down huh
as Sharon would say: like father like son PMSL
SIMPLES :)
fecm, important thing is to spread your capital across a number of sectors that you believe will show strong growth once things get back to some sort of normality rather than put it all in one share or sector basket
one other thing they should have in this current climate is a very strong balance sheet with sufficient cash or readily available access to cash to survive a prolonged global lock down
the financial fallout from this virus will go on for months if not years so choose wisely and you should definitely be in no rush to chase the next big jam tomorrow dream for the quick bucks
AIM companies are for little short wagers whereas blue chip dividend paying companies are slow and steady keepers
oh and don't be in any rush to spend your ISA allowance for the coming year all in one go on Monday like some.
you have 365 days to pick and choose and don't forget there are some important meetings coming up sometime next week for oilers that might just have an impact on their future price.
IF oil drops Monday due to the delay in the Russia / Saudi production level talks, I'll be looking to add some BP and Shell if they follow any oil price drop but that's not investment advice that's just me looking at a much longer market recovery time frame
I read a really interesting article last week that talks about the history of big market crashes and the scary thing is that every big crash was followed by a little rallying bounce before an even bigger drop swiftly followed so my question would be, was last weeks little rise just the calm before the storm ?
my advice is to tread wisely and stay safe as the most important thing is for everyone to come out of this dreadful period of uncertainty on the other side fit and healthy and be able to once again rebuild their lives and finances

Think I'll visit wuhan, only joshing virtual and moscow later
Never mind fecm, chin up, BOD freebies still ongoing
Thanks for replying Barnyard, will keep an eye out for the next drop before commiting fully. Equally will be watching for oil prices to head back north and CV infections to decrease as the beginning of the long recovery. Will be too old to enjoy any rewards at this rate.
Not know , disinfecting the stairs cheers warren

Lol, thanks chaps, (or should I say comrades :)). At least you've confirmed I wasn't mad when initially investing there. Won't sell out at a loss and hope they come good one day. I guess all the money taken off the table has to come back at some point as you get nowt keeping it in the bank!
Lloyds have an end to the PPI payments and still have this years dividend cash. The government business support scheme doesn't look to me to force outlandish liabilities on lenders. I guess it all depends on how the economy turns around but I personally don't think it impossible that in a few years Lloyds is earning closer to £5 billion per year and the market cap. is now only £20 billion. Even if you think they could afford the dividend going forward then it yields 12%.
There are so many unknowns with bloody shares though aren't there - I think I should stop dabbling and come back in 5 years to see what happened. Rockhopper will be my first to look at!
What will I do with the extra free time?
Get a life I hope!!
Cheers.

Thanks lsetown, afraid I'm already in Lloyds from 72p and still smarting from the divi cancellation!! Think they will be a good long term company but it will be a slow rise. Banks could still emerge winners from all this. Emails I'm receiving from them gives the appearance they want to help, but ultimately the customers will pay. Spoons is an interesting one as peeps will want to party and holiday hard after this. I'm also 60% down on Vodafone.
fecm - if you assume things will get back to normal soon, both Lloyds and Wetherspoons look cheap to me. Both are under half their peak share price and in theory were growing.
(I am probably wrong though! DYOR)
Thanks, but think I might be giving AIM a wide berth this year (RKH excepted). No doubt there will be some stellar performers in there, but picking them will be very risky.
Just done my end of year accounts and am wishing I hadn't. I'm down every penny earned last year plus a 50% overall drop on portfolio from Feb. The mood that's left me in tempts me to put everything into RKH in next years ISA.
Anyone got any more sensible investment (that's a joke word) ideas to recoup some of the losses we are all feeling? Which companies are likely to rebound hard post CV?
