Hopefully I've learnt some lessons on impulsiveness. It is only suggestions for companies to look at. As the naked trader says 'please don't buy shares on the basis of what I have bought because I may have sold them again already. In fact he has already updated his site on shares he has reduced, which is good of him. Even though he thinks the market is over reacting. I expect a lot of traders are thinking that way , but some institutions are obliged to sell when the markets get like this. US futures current down 400. Ballin Gifford appear to have bought back the shares they sold in OCDO the previous week which is slightly surprising although in the numbers the deal in probably got them about a million cheaper than they sold them. Be nice if we could make a million a week on two trades in the same shares. Assumes that they will return to level they sold at which is looking a little fragile tonight. Going to be another jaw dropping week I suspect

Don't blame you for trying NCYT at all. as tempted myself. Its got more in common with a bucking bronco. When it first took off someone suggests £7 by the end of week and finally a target of £22! as it slid back to 60p. The main issue for me assuming all these warrants have raised enough cash to put it into production was will there be any need for it once a vaccine has been discovered or we have a full blown pandemic. All the time there are these uncertainties 30% - 100% daily movements making some a mint and others have got burnt. Gl . I still think Ocado will be a £40 share eventually but this was trending down too long for my liking before the virus thing kicked in. Anyway GL with it. Maybe we could have a share club here, where we pitch in ideas and pool our researches, bound to have some crossover but also some different ideas too.

Weekend home work is a great idea. Trying to do it in trading hours is dangerous particularly if looking at a stock that is moving fast. I have made a short list of about 15 stocks to keep an eye on, probably invest in 5 or 6 hopefully some time in next month or two. IWG is a tricky one. Dixon has invested much of his own money about 11 million shares to date and also started a fair size buy back, currently about halfway through. Then it more or less capitulated from around £4.5 to £3.5 yesterday. It is very exposed to this virus being a global office space renter. Wework a similar US company had to pull its IPO late last year being rated at 12 times the value of IWG and not even profit making. IWG has been trying to franchise its operations with some success. The big USA deal never came off as far as I know, and news not forthcoming. Dixon is convinced he has created a no brainer, but they could end up with a lot of empty space. So even back at £3.50 not too sure. Workspace , a smaller UK company has done really well after I sold out, so far not reacting to the current blood bath. Definitely keep an eye on IWG, but too early yet I feel. We are at a cusp according to one US investor. It could bounce back or it may be just the start of a bear market. To be honest it always feels like that to me. Most crashes tend to come out of the blue. This one has been a good year coming and much heralded. So like the virus we may all be over cautious, but stay extremely vigilant.

FOMO is what happened to me before the election. I was convinced the election would yet again fail to resolve anything so I sold some really good stock which had done well for me but accelerated more with the emphatic Brexit victory into the new year. That has been shorn lived and now most have retreated to below my sell prices. Not rushing back in yet but obviously eager to not miss the boat. I think volatility is set to continue for a while now although not wishing outright capitulation on anyone we need to get a grip and take Corona for whatever turns out to be. Hopefully another unpleasant but not exceptional virus. It should be that the economy has a dip because of the law of economics not irrational fear of something supernatural. A good percentage of the FT100 has grown little for 20 years but supplies pension funds with reasonable income and safety till something like this happens. The real capital engine drivers are coming from 250 and 350, There are a few companies that doubled and tripled last year. I had sizeable holdings in AVST, IWG CDM, GYM last year and a few others some of the bigger AIM stock have done well too. Has required a lot of homework, and some help from guys like The naked trader who has unearthed some very interesting plays from all sectors. Have to be careful not to get a spike from his recommendations as he does seminars. Genuinely good stock picker though if a little self obsessed with his own cleverness. Any keeping my eye in and if I miss a few bargains I'll know its time to get stuck back in sooner than later I hope.

Hope you guys negotiated through the week safely. World gone mad. I think they were waiting for any excuse other than the market being overpriced and the economy slowing down, so Corona fits the bill perfectly> I don't understand the logic in the possibility of schools closing and people being told to stay away from work for possibly months rather than accepting that for most people recover pretty quickly in a matter of days, but sadly a few will die as they do every year from viral flu and one day no doubt it will get me. It just seems they are hell bent on making an unavoidable situation into a catastrophe. Or is it me thats mad?

Futures slip another 600 points. Dow now down about 10% this week. I should think we are about halfway there. Good luck wit the trading fellas, way to slippery for me!

Wall Street analysts including Citi are now bracing for a fall of 20% from recent highs.
A drop of that magnitude would constitute a technical bear market and the end of a ten-year upward trend.
The stock market bloodbath continues on Thursday with global stocks plunging for the sixth-day straight. Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) futures collapsed as much as 400 points overnight. Be very careful. Just about managed to sit on my hands. Should I ask my girlfriend to hand cuff me?

No definitely wouldn't surprise me at all. He is capable of absolutely anything. Most people thought he would survive 6 months as President. He and Boris are bomb proof!

Just had the dormer window double glazed and it proved my worst nightmare come true, having never been unfortunate enough to require their services of double glares before. Came highly recommended . About a month late and the window can't open properly and they've messed up the rafters each side. All got to come out again if we get another day when its not raining, Grrrrrrrrrrr! Just makes me mad enough to buy more shares!

typo lawyers, not loyal

'No need to panic Captain Mainwaring!' So says Ronald Dump after first case of Corona (and I don't mean beer) arrives in California. Unfortunately Dow Futures doesnt seem to agree. The most worrying thing to me about at the moment is the reinfection that has accord in very few cases. Still too little known about it. G4s looks tempting as does Nano that Have been in and out of before. It is alleged that Samsung infringed their copyright It might just be cheaper for Samsung to buy the company than defend a fairly strong case for the complainant. Sometimes they can be blooming obstinate and no doubt loyal see dollars flashing passed their eyes like the proverbial one armed bandit. What with NMC and a few others even if you find a good stock can you trust it? OCD holding remarkably well compared to poor old M&S. They might as well buy them out.

Been a bit caught up in other stuff. Having left with the dow flying to nearly 400 up a few hours ago, just got back to see its now minus 133. This is just the kind of volatility that precedes a crash. BE careful.

Here you are then. Good afternoon. Great bounce on OCDO so far, which I didn't expect, but well called S & T. One US soldier tests positive and the futures go down 230 points, and of course California will go into lockdown even though nobody has the virus just to keep everybody else out and ban a few more things like tissues and other possible health issues. I could break a rapper. I think the rally in ftse will have turned again by dow open. Keeping alert and I must admit quite intrigued . Must try and sit firmly on hands though I suspect. GL
