Wish I'd got more RDSB at under 1200, could have been the bottom?

Wow well done breathe

I got out of VTY on Friday thinking that I would be able to get back in cheaper, turned out its resisting any further drop so I'm now left out in the cold lol

... or flat? Hahah

Is the sun actually shining where you are because I can't see a thing through the fog in Suffolk...!

Crow/ all - how representative of the market performance do futures tend to be upon opening?

i.e. 0.8% down currently i assume that would signal downward pressure but would that be of a similar magnitude or would that reflect in something more like a 2% drop? Any clear trend there? Not acting on it just curious.

Morning Ken, signals not looking very positive this morning then!
Out for my morning run and it's freezing and foggy, can barely see its going to be one of those days!
Got some cash on the sidelines ready to pounce on any March style opportunities!

Cancelled, sorry.

The dividend has already been cut.

My EZJ recovered enough for me to exit break even with the rally last week, but I sat on it thinking maybe I'd be able to talk a small profit with another strong day - obviously we then had Thursday and Friday's drops.

If I get the chance to break even again I'll be grabbing it with both hands, too much uncertainty with airlines right now - I think it's going to be a bumpy ride. What do you all think, possible new regs requiring airlines to carry greater liquidity moving forward in case of pandemics like the banks after financial crisis? It's a tough one because EZJ and RYA were in great shape before all this...!

More drops on the airlines to come me thinks!

The Mrs just shaved off my hair so I look like a convict and I'm about 3 quadruple captain Morgan spiced gold rum and cokes in - life is good.

What we saying?

Maybe the market should put Trump on filter lol

Further to my posts last week about nationwide dropping the interest rate on 4 of my accounts from 0.1% to 0.01%, I've just had another one come through - this time for my son's Junior ISA with a drop from 3.0% to 1.0%!! That's just disgusting and I'm going to have to find another Junior ISA to move it to as I can't just withdraw the money until he turns 18... guarantee they wouldn't automatically put it back up when all of this blows over.

I have sellers remorse, sold ITV and VTY for a tiny profit thinking they were gonna tank today so I could buy back in lower - both immediately recovered lol

Learning every day, right now I see my timing sucks!

GLEN 139, down she goes - a sea of red.

Morning Ken, forgive my ignorance on this - but is it not a slightly different case for the FTSE? Looking at the chart it's not yet got anywhere near close to the levels it was at pre-crash.

The fall yesterday was also a lot more drastic than the DOW and S&P 500, at over 3% compared with 1-1.5%. Boris was also talking about next week announcing the steps to announcing lockdown.

I don't pretend to have any level of understanding of the triangles you talk of, and the level by which the FTSE follows the US indicies but surely based on the above we should have a bit of a rise today?

That being said, copper seems to have dropped 2% so GLEN and KAZ may not see the same?

Again, still learning here so just my naive thoughts...

I know I would be, haha.

What has fundamentally changed that would cause a massive increase yesterday followed by an equally heavy drop today? No new 'major' news, or could it be a really delayed reaction to yesterday's US news?

Thanks George, I started an investment club with 2 like minded ex-colleagues last year and we started investing in October. We each regularly put money in and agree on the investments between us. We aren't looking to take anything out for many years, hoping to build up a significant pot so that we can retire early and actually enjoy life before we pop our clogs! Any dividends will be reinvested for the foreseeable future.

I'm a bit of a learning sponge and am always looking to learn something new so you'll often see me asking questions! Ultimately though I also spend a lot of time researching myself, and with my investment partners - usually our guts make the final decision!

Personally I just enjoy everything about it (maybe not the downs) - investing in my family's future doing something I enjoy!
