RE: Hoe close are markets to comprehending their wake up call moment?1 May 2020 00:45
Personally, I think there will be a correction of some sorts.
US GDP @ -4.8%
EU GDP @ -3.8%
Unemployment in both US and Europe will be/are high. We in the UK will try to limit it as much as we want, but government won't keep companies afloat if coronavirus has affected them drastically.
With Gov debt at close to 90-95% of GDP, there is a limit to how much more the gov can borrow. Having said that, the government really needs to wake up and do something about all of this. Economy, coronavirus, peoples lives.
I definitely don't think the UK government has handled this pandemic well, and it will definitely be reflected in the future.
It's very hard to predict a correction as it requires people "waking up" as you say. Whether it occurs tomorrow, next month, next quarter, next year, who knows?
As a young person, my advice to everyone on this board would be to take every opportunity. And to do that in the stock market, you need to hold cash and stocks!
As Martin Lewis would say, to be successful, you need to be lucky.
Ofcourse, this is all in my own opinion. Throw me in the bin :')
