Yes . You are correct.
Focalism can cost you dear.
If anyone really hasn't a clue have a look at the way Robbie invests (https://www.nakedtrader.co.uk/agree.htm )
Still unsure buy a copy of the art of execution by lee freeman shor.
Soon you'll be trading like a pro and keeping your money safe.

I really don't understand why everyone is guessing the bottom to buy in. I never ever have managed to do that yet I've still made loads of money
Buy if you like the stock. Set a stop loss to protect your capital and sit tight.
It only really matters if you day trade and to mind my mind this isn't that sort of stock.
Just my opinion for what its worth.

Smoke..

By the end of the lockdown we should be able to put a cracking quiz team together !!
We need a suitable name.....
Yes Govts have known all about this...
BAT. Civet.. SARS (2002)
BAT. Camel. MERS (2012)
BAT. Pangolin. Covid (2019)
BAT. ………………...

A short video just explaining why bats can produce deadly virus strains. I hope you find it useful.

Anything is possible.
With the Govt looking at the banks with hungry eyes, who knows what cunning plan they come up with next. But it won't be good for the banks thats for sure.. (IMOO)

Not at all...
We have eradicated or made ourselves immune to these sorts of virus before. Variola major and Variola minor ( smallpox).
When the virus was brought by the Spanish to Mexico it killed the locals as they had no resistance.

To think the world has wasted all that money on research and scientists and all they needed do was ask you?

I agree its a shambles
73 workers at Great Ormond street have tested positive ( out of 181 tested )and 318 workers now self isolating... They have 8 Covid patients...(DYOR)

Just to be clear this is viruses that can pass from animals to humans.

Its not a new problem but its also a problem that will keep arising. Unless....

I would prefer something a bit more fun like a Bowler. https://www.bowlermotorsport.com/cars/

Look nice parked next to your caravan.
Not a car that has ever appealed to me, especially after looking at the DB9s running costs...

(IMO) I feel most should still be in relatively defensive stocks at the moment. With the odd bit of speculation.
There are many stocks that fit this bill and many are making steady gains.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the SP after the new Isa year starts. With these low SPs people must be tempted .
Especially now interest rates are almost zero.

Exactly what do a band of ageing rockers know....!!!

Trust your own judgement... n-95 compliant are recommended I believe. (DYOR)But the bigger problem comes in preparing for the next outbreak. ( just to raise a discussion point. Just my take on it)
(IMO) The cause seems to be bats due to their high resistance to diseases. The virus finds an intermediary such as a pangolin or camel and them mutates enough to infect humans with a low resistance to diseases. ( the more advanced medicine the lower)
So what do we do? Lockdown and hope to find a vaccine every time? ( crashing the economy)
or do we allow it into the populous hoping to build some immunity. ( Swedish model)
Is this perhaps why as a percentage China has a very low death rate because its people using eastern medicines and being exposed to low levels have some built up some natural immunity? ( just like other peoples views)

As we are seeing their stupidity and failings are leaving many very un amused. (IMO)
So what will they do to prepare us for the next zoonotic virus?
