This market might have further to fall...who knows, but i do know we are entering buy territory and when the market turns it could do so very sharply. This coronavirus will not be around forever, could be over as a pandemic by the summer. The big question of course is the severity and length of the damage to economies involved. 

What funds/shares are you buying?

Dow at 15K? Wow! that's a long way down from where we are now. Don't think we will have to wait for earnings to report, think the market has already factored a lot of that in. The market hasn't fallen so far, simply on the health scare news and oil...it's clear the economy is going to tank. This time next year coronavirus will be just a bad memory

DOW is @ 21k, was 29k+ just a couple weeks ago, so yea 15k plausible, me thinketh. 

Never hear of xrp. It looks like it's trading around 14 cents US. What is it, in layman's terms?

It's a cryptocurrency otherwise known as 'Ripple', it has many advantages over Bitcoin and is considered to be more stable with less drawbacks. It's well worth holding a handful, all things considered.

Did the guy/girl/whatever in your avatar bestow those pearls of knowledge only to you?  Thanks for sharing.

I'm buying British Airways, BP, TUI, Shell and of course Rolls Royce who make airline engines.

 

These companies will have a great future...

Wynn.

Down from 150 to 50.

Around 40 or below would be fantastic.

They are not cheap charlie hotels and most who gamble at their casinos have money.  Gamblers are never going away.

with the market moving at 1000 points a clip and some days more than 2000 points and can flip off 500 points in a couple of hours... 15k might be less than a week away... who knows?

Yes, airlines are an obvious buy, share prices have been trashed, can't see BA going under. Easy Jet is another i'm looking at...no banks, Logosone?

It's true, has the market factored in more infection numbers though? Potentially it could get as bad as Italy, NHS will not cope. As the numbers rise the harder govt. will have to crack down ie, further travel restrictions, border restrictions, business closures...next few weeks will be crucial. 

 

On a positive note, the situation looks to be improving in China and Korea although they paid a huge price by shutting down completely. UK and US are a long way from that

Definitely, Easy Jet is a screaming buy, also Heathrow Airport holdings, Fraport, Carluccio's restaurant and Cineworld are also screaming buys.

 

Would definitely buy those companies with a glittering future ahead....

Let's see how many airlines apply for chapter 11 before the end of this year.

after seeing how quiet CM had become - and how difficult that can be for any business, I extrapolated out a major recession at best... those days of lost business can never be compensated for... and how many months of this might we expect? Profits will get slammed. 

 

And even worse, I have a toothache. 

None. IMO the virus has another 2-3 months to run. Traders may make a lot on volatility, but I'm sticking with cash.

The UK's biggest pension fund is a major investor in crematoria. I would definitely invest in Crematoria now.

The problem with volatility is you have to be a genius to predict the timing of the swings. Right now you get governments, central banks, making 'key' announcements at random times, not even as part of a calendar, but basically at random. So technical analysis goes out the window and news trumps it every time.

 

Yes, volatility offers great opportunity to make money, but it also is very high risk, in that you could be caught short as the bottom ends and it all goes up. 

 

I'm buying manufacturers of hemorrhoid products which will be a booming business for all those who took it in the axx when the markets fell!  ????

I have been nibbling at Consumer Medical Staples..GRX...and it has been crushed as bad as many.  Also back in utilities..

 

I’m buying nothing until we see the cases of Coronavirus start to level off, and we are no where near that position yet. I don’t think any asset is safe. Even gold is being sold off by holders to meet margin calls in other areas, and it will tank when the cases begin to turn. Companies are beginning to update markets on the Covid-19 impact, and they don’t make for a pretty read. We will see a pretty sharp global recession. Markets will spring back when the newsflow improves but will remain subdued as the virus may erupt again in the winter.

 

There will be bargains at some point, but we’ve not reached that point yet.

I wouldn’t touch airlines yet, but if my hand was forced I’d say that Ryan Air, with 4 billion in cash, will be the last man standing. They can tough it out better than most. I’m not convinced about IAG or EasyJet ... great buys if this passes quickly though.

totally agree. This is only the 1st quarter of the reporting seasons (Australia)  which will undoubtedly show a negative GDP for all or most countries. A recession can’t be called until we have two negative reporting sessions and the 2nd session will not be until end of June. It’s not looking that favourable for the 2nd session. It will all depend on the success of the stimulus package’s put forward to encourage spending and trades.

Hopefully we will be able to see a slow down of Covid-19 by this time.

Stay safe everyone.
