    Spare a thought for the poor souls (like me) who just started investing at the start of January. I invested mostly in large slow growing companies that would be "unlikely", only under exceptional circumstances to drop any more than 2-3% and would make headlines if they did.

    Corona Virus: "Hold my beer"

    Was at +8% after the first 3 weeks. Dropped to +4% this time last week and then down to -3% yesterday. Got out completely today at -2.4% after a slight recovery. I was going to weather the storm but the swiftness of the drop spooked me out as well as thinking of the fallout when it hits the US.

    Similar here only just got going mid Jan. HODLing hard here though, I'm still in the positive due to my pure beginners luck win with Tesla so it takes the sting off seeing nothing but red, however in any case it would probably annoy me more to sell out at a loss now and spent the next month or so trying desperately to pick my reentry points so I'll let it all come through the wash. Still all alot more interesting than letting the cash sitting in the bank earning me absolutely nothing.

    I'd wait - widespread cancellations and a mostly likely imminent announcement of cases in the US mean there could be another 5-10% drop at any moment.

    That moment has arrived.

    Just throwing this out here lads. But for the video game industry, Sony are due to release a new Playstation this year, and Microsoft a new Xbox. I could see one or both being postponed.

    Same goes for some AAA games titles like Cyberpunk and Final Fantasy VII. If/when I'd expect dips in the console manufacturers and related companies I.e chip manufacturers, video game publishers etc etc

    Companies affected from what I mentioned:
    Sony
    Microsoft
    AMD
    CD Projekt Red
    Square Enix
    If Coronavirus has us all sitting at home, unable to go out, with all sport cancelled, I'd imagine PlayStation sales would hit record highs. I'd certainly be getting something to keep me entertained.

    Will the factories that produce these items be in operation though? Or the companies that ship them? I'm very new to this game.

    Not the capitulation I was hoping for but China does seem to be coming out of this and they are the world's workhorse. starting to add back some positions.

    Maybe take a look at iShares Global Clean Energy UCITS ETF, I think this will do very well in 2020

    I cashed out all my positions today.

    I was considering it last Friday but then second-guessed myself. I went from an overall gain of +10% to +6% in the past few days and things weren't slowing. Bit annoying but I'm sure there's others who saw bigger red numbers than me.

    I'm not sure how much longer this decline will continue, but I'd rather not wait and see what rock bottom looks like. I needed to cash out anyways since this money is going to be spent on a property soon (I hope!)

    If you're looking to spend it soon then cashing out was the right thing to do, even if it recovers soon. Shares are a long term investment (or should be at least). You don't want your potential house purchase affected by how your shares are doing.

    Cyberpunk was already delayed from April to September, plus I would imagine most of game sales are done online now

    Im looking at Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd NYSE: RCL

    Taking a serious hammering from the virus.

    Looks like it has a bit to go down yet as well.

    Could be a bargain.

    Cruise ships are definitely one to look at. I prefer the r/r on norwegian.

    The markets can be shorted , if the type of Armageddon scenarios predicted in other threads happen then remember the s+p fell to 700 in the last crash .

    At this stage I'm just a bemused spectator, used up all my dry powder to early , really didn't think it would get this bad.
    Worst thing is, I know think once the virus hits the US properly its going to be utter carnage, do i take my losses and sit on the sidelines or ride it out? I'm only holding long positions at the moment of which most are under water now.
