Not to prolong the conversation of covid vaccines, but as you say, many will never be led down that path again.
Happy to take vaccines for cholera, dengue fever and maleria, but covid, well they can just f**k well off.

Right now, I'm going to say I'm a conspiracy theorist, in about a month it will no longer be a theory.

I know many do not want to hear it, but willing to bet forces from outside the UK are driving UK markets down (retaliation for Brexit?).
I cannot see any reason other that that.
Energy cost are affecting everyone in Europe, probably more so in Germany and Austria than France, but more than the UK.
The Germans are panicked over the loss of gas and rising costs, yet DAX is doing better???

Hate to say it, but nothing seems to be helping UK stocks at the moment.
Something is driving the UK market down, whether deliberate I cannot say.

I hope they are doing better than IAG shares....

Sure oil is not what it was 6 months ago, but does seem to affecting US airlines, only UK travel stocks being hit. In fact anything UK related.

Oil is also not as high as it was.
Oy vey!

So the US was up yesterday, Asia was up today and Europe is ... buttmunching! Great!

I was being facetious, so either you did get that or you are a mortician... Egal!

bobbins, stop bragging about your gastronomy conquests. Don't you know there's a recession looming?
Had I known that we would be having food shortages I would have kept the Koi...
Or as I like to call them, garden salmon.

As for Buffet, I think he is safe for another few weeks

Scotty, essentially what you are saying is that it is merely a giant circle-jerk?
Thanks for lifting the mood bud!

Lets hope so, AAL up nearly 5%...

Not sure how many would want to risk going there right now. They are rather 'trigger happy' when it comes to lockdowns.
But at least you have an option, should you choose to.

and retail.

... but people are now talking about a possible recession!
How has that changed from last month??? We have always been talking about a recession.

Idiot! People living with parents and having no money are not buying protein shakes and bars.

To add to that, Quantas have told executives that they need to work as baggage handlers for three months...

Interesting times ahead.
But do understand the hesitancy to employ staff in case of further knee jerk reactions by all governments, especially the US. They seem like the biggest bedwetters at the moment.

What you talking about Willis?

"But a spokesman confirmed that BA cannot rule out disruption to long-haul routes out of Heathrow either while the cap remains in place.

It could push prices higher and mean travellers trying to book last-minute journeys to further-afield destinations such as New York, Singapore or Dubai may be unable to find seats."

That does not sound like a definite, more of a problem for 'last minute' travellers.

AC, appreciate that.
Having said that, the same could true for the whole market, no matter what stock you are invested in, would you agree?

AC, please tell us why you think it will go to 0.90. Anyone can say that and it has more of a chance of hitting that figure than someone saying it will hit 3.00, but that is just guesstimates.
I would genuinely want to see how you get to that calculation, but if it is just a wild guess on your part than that is ok by me too, but say so, be forthright.
I am long, so I would rather see 200 than 90, but that's my bias.

mattyboy, your name speaks volumes in of itself.
Answer to your question, yes, more than you. Prove me wrong. I'll wait.
