I do not think it will be easy to pick the bottom. Instead there will be a series ups and downs. I think it will last about a year or two while those in power reconsider why they lost it.. and then younger people will take over. Sanders and Trump will be long gone o the happy hunting ground..

No matter how bad it gets people will still need the corner shop. Good news today but has gone unnoticed

Covid 19 may have got me by then!!

I have shares in a quarry in the Uk and now France. It has fallen about 30 per cent in a week. It could double in size and not produce enough to fill all the pot holes. Why should I sell it?? I have a construction company which has fallen 50 percent and yet all the work needed to update the railway and rebuild the tower blocks will keep it busy for years. I have shares two infrastructure companies which are heavily involved in wind farms and electrification of our towns and cities. They are down 15 percent but I can see the windmills all turning from my window. I have enough cash in hand to last me five years so why panic. Covid 19 msay have got by then..

Oh well tomorrow is Poets day again. Nothing happens on a Friday.....

He did not. Shot by a cross bow..

The murderers of Churchmouse were being sentenced today. All were found guilty.. For me this board just memories...No more Merlot and tweed..

Why are you talking about Chinese hospitals??

romaron summed me up. Old, Feeble and Weak. As I see it the virus will get me because I am old. I cannot escape because I am feeble and I have not got the energy to press the sell button. I am not overcome with fear either but instead I have the hump. I saw this coming but although I sold quite a lot of holdings I under estimated the speed of the fall. Opec and the Russians must try and cut or the price will implode. Within a few years the middle east will resemble Venezuela and the only trading will be that of camels. Trump does not want a financial downer either or he might as well forget the election. His saving grace is that Sanders is unlikely to complete the course at 78 years old. The Europeans cannot afford a downer either
or the remaining members will all fall out. My feelings are that Boris can afford to blow dosh on infrastructure and houses
so in the short term Britain will be fine....

Investing is never straight forward. Going long can even out the bumps but I have found from time to time a investment hits a pothole and the wheels fall off. I have had a very strong 12 weeks so last Thursday aware of the risks of supply chain meltdown I liquidated 15% of my portfolio. Because of the settlement date I only received the money today and have plonked it in the building society at 1.4%. I was up early on Monday with the intention of selling another 10% but the market opened down so now I have decided to sit on my hands. In 2008 when it crashed it took a year to start the reverse but for quite a while it was very bumpy. There are always a few tit bits but I do not consider myself a good day trader. I had 1000's of Taylor Wimpy at at 19p but I sold at 38p. Now I think if only... Fear is a difficult thing to handle..

Its never nice to die all tensed up... Look at the positives. 500 million deaths must have a positive effect on climate change..

Ponzi... Thats the name of a fiddly doo dah specialising in schemes. I never run away either as I have twisted my knee. Has not been helped by spending much time on them... But not spouting Therapists prayer...

I am expecting a bad day today as markets weigh up the effect of this damn virus. Hope by close that some will see this as a good long term buy though

Looks like we will safe as it is receding in the rear view mirror. Gatherings currently very unsafe with this Corona virus and
a meeting of this board would all look like bank robbers with their masks on... To amuse myself I have been watching the games NCYT and have not witnessed such a volatile share for years. Once again I find myself thinking that the next update is crucial to our well being but then again I though the last one was too.... Oh well its Poets day and so I wish you all good luck. Off to spend my ill gotten gains from this week. Thanks Chilting for your tip...

I thought the rns warranted a lot more bounce but it is a few more bricks in the wall..

Excellent news. Just not cause much of a re rate yet again.. At some point this must get noticed

I added today as I think we have reached the bottom. It may take a while but a 20p uptick is more than possible with a few good contracts..

Think you might be right. The go ahead for HS2 should be a big plus here. There has been a big upheaval of the management and hopefully we should start seeing a bit of optimism..

If you can spare a few mins listen to the President of Ford Europe this morning talking about how Grant Schapps suddenly moved the goal posts on diesel and petrol cars. It is clear this whole sector on fossil fuels is losing the plot. BP is going into tree planting and from some where all the buses are going to start using hydrogen. I have no problem with going green but it requires proper planning and that which has been suggested is flawed. You cannot persuade people to convert to buses even if you give them a free bus pass....Then across the pond the Americans are pinning their hopes on a 78 year old man with a dicky ticker to try and give a orange fossil a run for his money. What with virus's and Europe I am glad it is only two months before I set sail and find an isolated anchorage to ride out the Summer... In the meantime I am going to prepare for Dennis... Could be worse I could be a Saudi Oil Sheik...

Lost my bottle. Sold out so watch it fly... Has proved a really good investment for me which makes a change.
