Too early for shopping.

FTSE 100 to open down 5%
Aussie ASX closed down 10%

More drops to come this week unfortunately.

What have you got your eye on S7?

If you stopped posting your ridiculous nothing's wrong attitude, everything's ok, SEE won't be affected BS, £3 in a year tosh you wouldn't engage me and i wouldn't have to correct you with a dose of reality.

Why do you?

I do see what you mean about the stats Lewbo, open to interpretation sure.

But if you take the same number of people with flu vs cv you would find a marked difference in response. Especially in the elderly or those with conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular, lung issues.

That is why everything is shutting down.

The UK is at a critical stage with CV after the number of case rises seen today.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/

Each week will see a doubling of cases in the UK unless drastic measures are taken.

maybe less % than 3 to 4 but still worse than flu.

I hope everyone remains healthy

Yes, many people may have had it and not realised.

Unfortunately the death rate is a stat you can trust as that is the % of infected people dying from it.

You make me want to stay Lewbo.

CV is nastier than the flu.

It is more contagious and kills twenty times the amount of people compared to flu.

It also seems transmissible by asymptomatic people.

Let's hope we find some form of treatment soon.

I'm negative on SEE and the general stock market Lewbo, in case you hadn't noticed.

I hope someone finds a cure for CV soon. We are doomed in the UK. Boris wants to tackle this with herd immunity. He wants at least 60% of the UK to get the virus. It's no joking matter.

I don't know how anyone can be company positive during such times. There is no demand or supply for anything but essentials.

All shops are shutting except essential ones, Where you gonna buy that new car from during the next 4 to 6 months?

You think companies will have capital expenditure at the front of their minds at the moment?

I'll change my username to doom monger.

Airlines are in trouble Numptypi. Delta, BA. No one is booking flights. I live near two flight paths, heathrow and city airport....the silence has been great.

I wish all lth good luck too.

Have to have big balls to be holder of anything long term at the moment.

PM saying aviation has changed from imminent to a long lead time.

The writing is on the wall...

Maybe SEE will have a little rise to 2.8/29 but from there it is down imo.

I'm not a buyer irrespective of the 'cheap' price, too heavy downward pressure on the stock.

Cheap to me is well into the 1's and at that level i still fear downside.

All countries going into lockdown, no public flights in or out of most of Europe.

UK soon to follow (hopefully, although with Boris's 'mind' herd immunity is better, lets all get it.... no ty!)

Many firms will go bust over this unfortunately, especially travel, aviation and automotive

Want to buy a new car?
want a cheap flight somewhere?

This thing has nowhere near peaked.

Maybe SEE would be on a similar trajectory if PM hadn't changed aviation sales news from imminent to a very long lead time.

its good advice if it were 14 days, not 7.

Dunno why the UK always disagrees with the rest of the world's experts.

In London, there are still people going skiing to france/italy, holidaying in spain.

Madness....

Meanwhile Boris thinks the best course of action is to do nothing. Sad and worrying times.

Great advice.... If you think you have the virus, don't goto A&E, don't call 111, stay at home and browse the web.

Self isolate for 7 days ( even though its contagious for 14 days )

What a leader! We are gonna be in serious **** within the next few weeks at this rate.

Let's ignore the rest of the world/WHO/leading epidemiologists. The UK always knows best....hmmmm

This is the thing about AIM companies.

They talk the talk like they are better and have more potential than blue chip companies, however, few if any realise this potential and most seem to operate to the detriment of share holders.

Yes, you can make a lot of money on AIM but you can also lose a lot.

but overall, in profit LTW, except VOG which was a shyster of a share and still is.

A few things i have realised over the last decade.

1) Don't try to catch a falling knife.
2) Crystallise profits in AIM companies as they rarely hold onto their gains for long.
3) It is worth listening to the negative posts especially on AIM markets, they are often correct in their analysis.

Yes LTW.

I managed to get out of both THAL and OXP with a profit. VOG on the other hand i bit the bullet and sold crystallising a large loss.

These were all stocks that were touted by the quite rubbish investor's chronicle.

I wrote a script that used to trawl the IC website every 30 seconds waiting for simon thompson's tips. I would then buy and sell quickly to the others eager to follow his tips.

This didn't happen with VOG, i stupidly held fast ignoring the doom mongers to my detriment, losing about £7K
