Wow NCYT down over 40%!
FTSE100 up 11.8% over the last couple of weeks ago.
Never understood the markets and never will.
It's nuts, 1% down as I was watching in 2 mins, still 4.5% up

It always looks so obvious after the event. Haha.
Should have known that news of a vaccine would have this effect of the likes of IAG, TUI, Cineworld - etc.
Markets might be up but impossible to deal on my iWeb account. Get what you pay for I guess, anyone recommend anything better?
AJ bell and Hargreaves Lansdowne both struggling too. Managed to place some orders on AJ bell after multiple timeouts.

The exuberance seems over done but then that is no surprise ...
The vaccine announcement also highlights some logistical issues and hedges on long term effectiveness but no one reads past the headlines ...
NCYT -44%
Not a good day to be only in gold and silver.
Here’s a lesson in passive investing.......When all the text books say “never do anything!”....they really are correct.
I’ll hold my hands up and say that as it stands today, between mid March and right now, I’d have been better of doing absolutely nothing and just leaving my pot sat there entirely invested in Vanguard LS80, rather than meddling.
Im sure things will improve again....but I suspect that this will be one of those days that they’ll talk about “being in or out of the market” on, in years to come.
Yeah seems to be some profit taking

Me too ... my meddling has cost me quite a bit but it did also buy me quite a bit of calm during a difficult period.
I'm down financially but suffered less stress through some of the darker periods but I can swallow that.
I wasn't so invested during the sub-prime crisis and so didn't feel the issue so much and the issue was less pervasive than a global pandemic ...
Still can't figure out why all this is suddenly ok ... still lots of business that are absolutely floored and the levels of government debt is eye watering and yet the party goes on ...
Cannot log into my HL Account?
I tried to buy some more SMT this am and it failed on HL so i tried twice more. It has now gone through 3 times! I'll be livid if the stock tanks before HL will let me in again to trade out as the site is crashing

Really shoddy service by these companies
HL access has been really bad today, they just can't cope with the capacity I guess.
Rolls Royce going nuts again

Volatility on index futures is absolute madness. Every recovery attempt in Dow futures is met with heavy selling, frequently gapping 20 to 30 points.
Still think this is turning higher again, better buckle up when it starts moving.
im trying to sell a few on HL it says i've sold but still there in account and no contract note or transaction history
Gold and silver going down quicker than West Brom

Travis Perkins up 9% , Kingfisher down 9%, How'd they manage that?

Whoa, that was painful bottom building in the DJ. Now heading for 29,750.
At one point Today I thought I may get out of my Rolls Royce position without taking a bath.
Nope.
Once my rights issue shares hit I shouldn't be in too bad a position with it anyway.
Some winners and a couple of losers Today
Did well with Codemasters although it didn't hit my sell order price.
A positive day for me anyway
Bought a chunk of BP this morning pre-announcement which was nice, but silver position has done some damage today. Selling out of Rolls Royce at 120GBp pre-right announcement was single worse trade I've ever made. That bugger has cost me a stack. Win some, lose alot on the rest.
Dow pegging back , 2% gone this afternoon

I've been on the sidelines for months, except for four U.S. airline stocks that I bought when they were down 60-70%. Not wanting to get left on the sidelines, I just placed orders to buy three 5-star growth funds that have been performing well. Not enough $$$ to really hurt me if "the crash" happens.
I almost picked a fourth fund...until I saw that 45% of their money was in Tesla!
