Seems like the panic squad over the S&P dropping below 60 today has been politely escorted out! - again!

Well, these appear extremely cheap - so I bought a few for the bottom drawer. Having done no research whatsoever it's a bit of a punt. I have no idea how it will pan out but with Trump's deranged meddling bringing it down further it feels like a steal!

(Having said I did no research, I am fully aware of the bridge problem that has occurred) It will pass.

The wider market sentiment is impacting nearly all shares, anyone with an ounce of sense will know this. While the sp does not reflect true value, we are in the same Trumpian boat as everyone else. The fundamentals remain strong, long term investors, IMO, should have no worries.

Probably, below the IPO!

Absolutely, BigEgo

Provided the Orange Buffoon doesn't take us into WW111, this is the perfect time to take advantage of the chaos. I've bought into a company, not a share price, and the fundamentals remain good.

Leave the doom and gloom merchants to their game. Anyone with an ounce of sense knows this difficult patch is affecting the whole market. You don't win or lose until you sell.

ITV announced that it has achieved the milestone of one billion streams in one quarter.

Good luck🤞

As I've mentioned before, any deal with Trump will come at a high cost, one way or another. In my view, encouraging subservience to the U.S. is a bad decision. If Starmer falls for this, it will be hard to undo. Trump is someone who has appeased an aggressor and ignored history, making him a dangerously foolish figure.

For those of us taking risks, buying stocks at rock-bottom prices, it is futile if the world remains in chaos; it's not foresight, it's simply clutching at straws. While it might pay off, in the end, and may make us feel smug, it's still gambling. Trump's use of humiliation and bullying is reckless and harmful. He’s incompetent and out of his depth.

Could a trade war lead to military conflict? We certainly hope not, but with an egotistical, incompetent would-be dictator in charge of the U.S., it’s a real possibility.

All of this underscores the utter failure of U.S. institutions.

The measles crisis in West Texas has claimed the life of another child. The fear of vaccines, fueled by R. F. Kennedy Jr, comes home to roost.

Yes most likely, and it will have a high cost in one form or another, no doubt.

Sunday, somewhat off topic:

What will Starmer do?

Continue negotiating with a bully, which, even if successful, will have a high price tag.

Take a EU approach?, which, IMO, is laudable due to its collective powers (although Britain shot itself in the foot here previously).

Persue Chinese close relations?

Interesting.

I must admit, as mad as it sounds, the chaos is a little exciting!

As always, thanks for all the guidance.

PS

I subscribed to Mr Scott's podcasts, they're informative and enjoyable.

Have a nice weekend.

Yes, I'm absolutely sure there are bargains galore to be had. To that notion I did actually buy some, elsewhere, today. However, there are extreme dangers in the world that haven't been seen since the 1930's and that's worrying.

Akka,

I can assure you I do not read Tom's or constipation123's posts (who is obviously the same person) I don't suffer fools, which is why you are now added to the filter list.

All that one ever sees is very similar to this:

IMO, This photo, and brief report, represents Trumps fear. Irrational and childish behaviour won't improve the American economy. Trump is a weak leader to say the least.

http://gb.china-embassy.gov.cn/eng/dshdjjh/202503/t20250322_11580182.htm

American self harm will have symptoms for the whole world. IMO, in the end, China will come out of this better than any other. We should re-evaluate who our trading partners and allys are - the answer is not the U.S. Making America great again is a just a slogan - and in any event should not be interpreted as making Britain great again.

'little doubt that tariffs would eventually hit and that would have damaging consequences for investment in new medicines.'

Any deal with the U.S will be unstable, with Trump we have to be forever thankful slaves. Uncertainty is the enemy of the markets. Also, the wider tariffs on the EU and others will damage the global economy. You'd better understand this is 1930's mentality - there will be no long term winners.
