Buy a lotto ticket with that €5. Use these numbers: 10,12, 26, 31, 35, 39

Probably the best advice in this thread, easy to be sucked into the traps. Have set prices myself

I think market will drop more over the next few months as people realise the true effects of these lockdowns and probable second waves, especially for America.
Anyone else expecting a sell off this evening?

Expecting it to receed from its current +2% level, usual Friday evening sell into the close, but that's fairly standard in these uncertain Fridays (people not wanting to hold over the weekend in case America cases spiking)

the new retail investors are a drop in the ocean compared to the institutions. They're not the ones moving the market up 40% in 3 months

Robinhood has more than 10 million customers whose average age is 31.

It has been having an outsized impact on stock trading. An analyst at Deutsche Bank recently examined Robinhood trading data and found that small investors were behind much of the recent buying in the stock market, so that what we used to call the “smart money” is “now chasing” the day traders. Talk about the caboose pulling the train!

Gone are the days of COVID-19 lockdowns and fears of bodies piling up in emergency rooms. Long forgotten are the 40 million unemployed Americans, the 40% of businesses that may not reopen and the “long road” to recovery that a gloomy Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell laid out in his news conference Wednesday. And don’t even think about the new wave of coronavirus cases and hospitalizations we’re seeing in at least a dozen U.S. states. Oh, no, instead the day traders are sampling and remixing those hits of the 1930s, “We’re in the Money” and “Happy Days Are Here Again.”

Yep saw the same article yesterday.

Basically institutional investors largely retreated from the market given the mess; and at the same time individual investors were stuck at home with nothing to do and received their stimulus check (in the US). With all sporting events people would usually bet money on being canceled and Robinhood making it easy to bu shares (including fractional) with no fees.

Perfect storm to give individual investors a lot more influence than they usually have.

Is anyone actually buying at the moment or waiting for further drops?

Taking a back seat, i think with the protests the covid numbers may start spiking again over the weekend, plus the bounce was crazy. Coupled with yesterdays dumping, we are nowhere near normal yet. Could be back to march lows or worse if pessimism really bites, Mr Market is crazed in both directions.

Lex Luthor

I wouldnt be interested in any significant buy, especially not on a Friday afternoon.

Bought American Airlines recently but it's a bit of a gamble.

We need RIGOLO back.

I’m itching to buy stocks, but really trying my best to hold off until next year. There’s just so many possible catalysts for stock markets to go down and very few for them to go up. No deal brexit now pretty much a certainty, another covid19 wave coming in 3 months, Biden possibly being elected in US which will spook markets....

True.

Sold all my positions after the fall thursday.
Its just too volatile for my risk zone at the moment.
Made some good profits n lost most of them on some silly shorts. In the end I closed out break even overall.

Learned alot though n will be back in if another crash happens. The prices atm just seem crazy high to me given the context. Total disconnect from economics. Wish everyone here much profit..n maybe a crash hehe.

Was very interesting to see some stocks bullet proof during all this.

They've been saying this since 2016.


Look at the gains since.

You’re trying to time an algorithmic-based market price based on unquantifiable reasoning and personal assumptions.

time IN the market always beats trying to time the market.

Bad news out of Beijing today, randomly tested 547 in a market, 47 positive for COVID. Beginning to think March drops will be surpassed.

Its all over the news.

Another lockdown won't be as severe as the last, we've learned how to control it so it would be probably be similar to how we are now some industries will struggle and there will be an impact but nothing like March IMHO.

There's no controlling it.

This is going to last years. Big question is whether the world will get a second dose come Winter.

Yeah, last time we went into complete lockdown to give health a chance to catchup, now that we have testing, contact tracing, and the A&E beds to manage it, another breakout wouldn't go full lockdown.

tnegun

Exactly we know the drill now and what we need to do if we need another lockdown it won't be a patch on this one.

I think we will 100% will get a second dose. Most people get a cold/flu anyway, so I think a lot more will get COVID.

Every September without fail, I get a flu. But I finally found a cure last yea- Lemsip + hot whiskey.
