Dow looks set to open 100-300 points down today.

Markets are whipsawing all over the place, as investors try to work out whether Omicron is the start or end of the pandemic.

Buffett got rich because he was fortunate to live at the peak of the biggest economic empire mankind has ever known (USA). A lucky general, as they say. If he had been born in the (declining) UK, and invested longterm in some of the biggest UK brands of his day, like ICI, he would almost certainly be bankrupt now. Buy-and-hold only works when a country or firm is on the up. CBX is down -75% in just a few months.

Losses jump, website launch was rubbish, big shopping seasons of Black Friday and Cyber Monday were missed, almost too late for the big Xmas gift season, overpricing, very slow delivery, expensive delivery, product shortages likely to hamper Xmas and fitness January, share price is absolutely plunging.

Beckham is huge in the Middle East. He is very unlikely to risk that, with a public CBD advert. One guy recently got (effectively) a life sentence (25 years) in Dubai for a tiny bit of CBD vape.

JP Morgan this week hyping up BT and Vodafone as takeover targets. The last of Britain's big tech firms are about to be sold-off overseas.

Average age in South Africa is 28yo.

UK is 41yo.

Young folk with (any) Covid rarely get sick.

Not buying yet. There seems to be an endless cycle of placings. And some of the steam has come out of the alternative-meat bubble for now. May jump back in at the 5-10p range.

There will be no BoE rate hike. Omicron has swung the pendulum back toward GDP slowdown. Electricity / gas / petrol prices are peaking. The chip shortage is about to ease. And the UK has the biggest tax raid and loss of disposable income in peacetime history just a few weeks after Xmas.

The launch was staggeringly amateurish, sellers are rushing for the exit, and the CBX share price is cratering.

Any close here below 8p will be a very bearish sign.

Best folks can hope here for is that Beckham gets a cheesy pap in the Sun or Mail "moisturising his golden skin against the winter elements" with some CBX kit. Without a Beckham ad, it's hard to see this overpriced, unknown fluid taking off.

A £19m turnover on 1 x sales gives a share price of about 4p.

Today is 10p...

HMRC is second only to GCHQ in how much they can monitor you ;-)

As predicted -- CBX share price is now plunging into the red. The launch is very disappointing.

It is going to need Beckham with a planted pic on Twitter or the Mail / Sun to pump this one up.

Wouldn't be a surprise to see the share price turn red today.

£59 for a little bottle of moisturiser, where the website doesn't clearly tell you how many ml of product you get, is crazy.

Clumsy website address, clumsy name, clumsy marketing, overpricing, clumsy product descriptions, long 1-2 week delivery times, product shortages from day 1.

It's a disaster.

Website name is absolutely rubbish. "Cellular Goods" sounds like something from a 1990s mobile phone shop. The .co address does not instill confidence for me -- where is the .com or .co.uk that everyone recognises and trusts. Product shortages are also an issue -- cannot believe they have launched a new company without all products being market-ready. It's a half-baked launch.

Ahm oot.

Amazed that folks are still pumping this!

The far-Left are determined to crush low-end loan companies. They will never give up. Getting into debt is fine for the middle and upper classes, but a big no-no for the lower classes. Low-end loans have become like big oil. A very, very risky sector to play in.

Today's huge plunge in the SBTX share price is a very bearish sign. The stock price has collapsed by more than half in just a few months! Investors seem underwhelmed by the psoriasis drink. Charts are pointing to the 20-30p range as the next stop.

FTSE is gonna plunge 100-200 points again today. Omicron looking scary.

FTSE looks ready to plunge back below 7000 on Mon.

Holding LLOY as a retirement share is absolutely insane

LLOY has plunged-90% this century.

Slam £100k in the NASDAQ in 2010 and you'd already be retired and sipping ****tails from a pineapple cup on the beach in 2021...

Keeping a close eye on this one. If lockdowns hit, CINE could quickly plunge back again to 10-20p.

LLOY has erased 6 months of gains today in 6hrs!
