Pete, my simple observation is that you trade to often mate, you should maybe invest instead, decide if you are a trader or investor, maybe look at a few managed funds to remove the worry. Markets go up and down as we all know and short term it is often possible to 'fall lucky' and land on a decent riser at the right time then get out again - thats what traders do. LT Investors know that there will be peaks and troughs and so ride the ripples. Im a ripple rider, hence the name on here, we are all different though with differing styles, you need to find yours mate. True Investing IMHO is a longer term game not a quick gamble, mr Buffetts done ok i recon and i kindof follow that route.
As for current situation, nobody on earth can predict something like this virus and the media driven hysteria thats going on, anyone who suggests they can are dreamers, lucky dreamers if they bought at the right spot but aim is full of stories of people losing the lot, tempered with the very rare winner along the way. The aim market is a bit of a cesspit in truth, a view widely accepted.
A quick peak back on the ncyt chart from a few days ago will clearly show Breathes average was higher than the market price at some points, didnt mention that tho. Its a traders share and bounces around a lot, if happy to trade and you want to 'risk' your capital 100% then maybe do so, rewards can be big but so can losses, aim is full of those. Glen etc maybe down, but will likely still be here next week, many on the smaller markets are not.

no bl00dy good on my roof at the moment Ben, no sign of the elusive sunshine, but at least they hold the tiles down.
I record ours output each day and have for a few years now. Normal annual number is 4000-4200. Last year was noticibly lower at 3800, so definately a cr@ppy year last year.
Have a good weekend all whatever your upto.

to true Fira, that safety net has a few holes in it and sometimes isnt very bouncy, but its better than being on your own for certain.

if the pop virus gets hold in America there will be huge troubles. So many over there dont have insurance or health cover, and those that do will get fleeced with the usual huge prices skyrocketing

Must be a few people out there thinking that the earth is doomed or flat or something. Getting a bit past ridiculus this media rowlocks is now isnt it. Im doing my bit to prop up the oillies though before were all back to horse and carts, cost me £75 to fill up today, and sorry Grotty Greta my motor puked out nasty fumes for you to suck up as i past your gathering in Bristol on the M5. The climate Gods obviously smile on her though cos it was lashing it down.
Oddly water companies are down a fair bit - an essential commodity, yet airlines are level - a luxury.
The worlds going mad :)

itsma good little number, pick up a small excavator and work for small builders digging footings and drives etc, or hire one in and save the capital,outlay.
Good on you for having a go at something else tho 'bob' :)

couple of people in my town do that billy, only trouble is the huge amount of regs and safety checks on big commercials, could always have a word with Ken learn whats needed and pick up a couple of plant driving tickets over a year or two and rent yourself out as a plant driver, always looking for those on build sites.

stick with the trucking 'bob' , give it a while. Good mate of mine owns a decent sized haulage business and the industry is quite short of drivers, so no shortage of work and job security. Easy enough to register with an agency and earn a bit extra too if needed. Less idiots to deal with as well, although my dad meets a few at the warehouses he delivers to who cant be bothered to unload him.

we're all kind of in the same ship George, unfortunatly we're all sweating and bailing water out at the moment, but doesnt mean the journeys a bad one when its shared with good company.

totally agree Almost, not enough room under all the matresses in the world for the quantity of money involved

dunno about that Ken but do my best. As the industry always carps on its a long term game this investing lark, nice to make a fast quid or two if you can but, slowly slowly catchy monkey i recon :)

like you Ken the sense of humour has to be the last thing to go, even on a ****ty day like this. Not totted my account up yet but i know im down into 6 figures, still up on my rdsb, but counting the recent drop in share price there the portfolio isnt looking that healthy.
Feck it all tho, doesnt matter a jot to me as it'll all come back, and hey i won the most important lottery last year anyway - im still alive to go bankrupt lol.
As for holidays, im getting a quick one up the Brum tomorrow to pick up the house keys, then once thats sold another £250k to play with - can only hope the markets offer so much opportunity when the cash comes my way. This media rowlocks and all the doom mongers will be gone soon with all the worlds pharmas working on a cure, wont take long.
Chinese for tea tonight for me, shall check for snot and dribble just in case though :)

Cant remember who it was, maybe Oxo?, but just thought id give a heads up to whomever that SYM went up 125% today- just in case whoever it was hasnt noticed.

just what we need at the moment, a car that gives out MORE water for the land to soak up. I'll take my tongue out of my cheek now :)

Seriously though, with all this drive (sorry) to become eco planet saving travellers i just wonder how the government is going to replace the huge tax they take from conventional fuel. Maybe the longer term plan is to tax by the mile travelled?.

very true Charlie lol

Arsenal, to be fair there are a few others on here that are not disimilar, its to easy to type rubbish on a keyboard that people wouldnt have the guts to say face to face, pretty sad realy, but ive said my piece given my explanations and some easily understood examples so wont be being dragged downwards into it further, i have much better things to do with my life and time than point out the obvious.
The suns made a rare appearance here this last few mins, so time to lasso the dog and take him out for a nice stroll, have a good day whatever your upto :)

redceo, we all are in our own ways im sure. However statements suchs as "fail to own up to your failings" (we are not all perfect , im certain you are equally a failer on rare occasion) "could be bothered to read my discussions" ( i do obviously, hence my post) "understand my frustrations" ( i am not frustrated, just fed up of the same antagonistic diatribe on the same subject adding nothing constructive). "barrage of trolls we get" (in your opinion, others may disagree and if you consider them as trolls surely it is best to ignore them anyway?). "confine myself to a barrage from x & y" (who are you to tell me what to do/read?).
Those are just a few points from your last two posts, i hope you can understand my already existing "perception" more clearly now. As a decent individual maybe you could consider it further? rather than trot out combative statements like "filter works fine use it" in curt imeadiate responses, while you spend a few moments formulating a better additional response. .

so does being a nice person, you want to try it someday. I wont hold my breath tho

dont post here that often but REDCEO give it a rest will you, all the constant baiting and knocking of other people is very tiresome to wade through daily, get yourself a hobby or something to occupy your time, before you make yourself ill, chill out a bit.

i bet as long as the pop virus doesnt get over to the US he'll be rubbing his hands with glee. The chinese economic slowdown will have given him a huge advantage in his trade battles.
