Oldie best cure is to not bother booking holiday this year and fill yer boots with cheap stock, as surely by Easter with the smell of blossom in the air and nice sunny weather (maybe??) sentiment will finally turn.
Save some for me!!
Tro surely the bottom is now well and truly behind us.
Encouraging at least bearing in mind the current climate, so still buying some more today and perhaps another few next week all being well.
yep at least we don't have an oil field on our books, other than a much cheaper commute to work I'm struggling with the positives though. That said it will at least it will add some benefit to the regua fuel costs if low oil is sustained that long. Be nice to hear of massive infrastructure spending now that the virus seems to be abating somewhat in china. Not many levers left to pull now.
Safety have you considered self-isolation in Scotland with a case of Iron bru.
April / May could be a seasonal low assuming it behaves similarly to other influenza type viruses based on WHO data for 2019 - 2020.

Fingers crossed it mirrors 2019 and also fails to restart this November. I'm not sure how SARs behaved, but I believed it simply tailed off after 1 year from memory.
Also not sure about the success of a vaccine as the cost maybe too high and because it would be a novel vaccine I'm guessing that uptake would be low for a variety of reasons.
Same ilke, serious issue but way over done. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to grab some more in the 20s. 10 bagger looks easy now from an MC in the teens and new isa allocation coming up...lovely!!
Here’s another one China and Iran develop a bio weapon, test it on their own people, whilst bumping off an dissidents under cover of chaos. Crazy really, but something in the middle is probably more accurate.
Not that I want to curse myself, but have been very lucky thus far in life.
The markets may still recover if the situation improves quickly. Hopefully it mirrors the flu season and then tails off like SARs, although I suspect the financial damage to be higher if it isn’t already so.
That said regarding risk, I still couldn’t resist some at 0.255.
Yep the list goes on even Marks and Sparks was down 10% at one point this week and approx 30-40% off a recent high a couple of months back. Stocks are not the place to be atm, very scary, but hopeful we’ll get through it.
On graveyard shift so none for me
night tro, gnite jim bob.
Yeah I think they also use bats to study how their immune systems respond to viruses, as they have an uncanny knack of carrying different viruses but not exhibiting any negative symptoms. I reckon someone will make some dosh out of this with a successful vaccine though. Should be easy to get human volunteers with all the panic.
Bob's "Bob on" oldie!!
I didn't realise this fully but normal flu appears much more deadlier than Coronavirus with recent 30- 60k deaths annually just in the US alone:

However I suppose the market reaction is justified to some extent, as at least we have vaccines in place to help tackle seasonal flu.
Question is where the heck did it come from?
yep not good Tro, hopefully the so-called spring / summer warming will hinder community spread like normal flu:

You've got me hungry, I'm now having tuna in perinaise sauce with buttery potato cakes, hot chocolate followed with hunt cross buns.
Very good that sauce and was only £2.50 for 2 big bottles in Costco, which incidentally is suffering from no supply disruptions as yet.
265 for me
I think it's the way he says it, both posts also recommended.
On the subject Tro, why are you no longer a top tenner, fallen out with LSE??
