    yeah definitely way better than American Airlines, but you know trump is going to pump in Billions in them and prop them...I'll get in easyjet closer to GBX 500 levels.

    Sorry this may sound like a stupid question. I'm knew to this hence. What do you mean by GBX 500 levels. I'm guessing GBX is the currency of the stock. So are you saying you'll get into it once it gets closer to the 500 regions?

    GBX is a penny sterling. Stocks prices in the UK are quoted in pence for some reason so when he says 500GBX he means £5.

    sorry as Almighty said, closer to £ 5 Pounds. I Don't know why they're quoted in pence.

    @Madmax, yes they briefly went down below £5, couple of weeks during the sell-off. we might see it touching those levels again today if there's another sell-off.

    The FED stimulus stock rally impulse seems to be fading away. Doesn't seem to be much good news anymore, all this back-to-normal stuff.

    yep, looks like we'll see a big drop today when the US markets open.

    Anyone watching VW?

    I am, but I will only buy if/when it drops to €70.

    VW deals with German Unions and has huge labor costs even though the production has stopped. VW is burning tons of money every single day now.

    We're living in a world of trillion Dollar stimulus's :), however German unions have a very stronghold in Deutschland...so assume VW will have a tough time if the factories continued to be closed.

    some of these so called analysts are like chameleons. :)

    VW lays off workers - what are the unions going to do, go on strike? :rolleyes:

    I picked up some disney and ryanair today. I will be hanging onto them long term so not overly worried about volatility the next few months, was generally satisfied to get ryanair sub €9.

    Going to hold till early next week before making any more purchases i expect the bad news coming outta the USA the next few days will rattle everything.

    Anyone any idea what’s happening with Bank of Ireland? Their shares have been consistently declining (prolonged plummet might be a better phrase). Went from 8 to to 1.7 or so over the past two years.

    Seems like an incredible situation for a country’s pillar bank at a time of global growth (past few weeks excepted). Surely the CEO there and senior staff must have some questions to answer? Haven’t seen any Q&As from any relevant source to shine some light?

    NIRP is gradually killing all the banks. The central banks know this but are trapped now.

    Bought some TNK and STNG yesterday, both tanker companies that store oil (and oil storage space is at a premium at the moment).

    Not going to touch anything else until this time next month at the earliest

    US Futures are holding up surprisingly well. Any one of three things can happen when the markets open ...

    Big fall, Big rise ... or thread water. Who knows anymore :confused:

    10 million total unemployed there right now. That is crazy.

    This is roughly 3 million more people than the estimates I was seeing beforehand - 3.5m or thereabouts seemed to be the consensus for new claims for this week.

    Fúck, you're right. Don't know why I got the impression that the 10m figure included all unemployed and not just new cases in the past 2 weeks.

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/193280/seasonally-adjusted-monthly-number-of-unemployed-persons-in-the-usa/

    Not sure how accurate that data is but it says that in February 2020, 5.79m were unemployed there. So, it has tripled in the space of 2 weeks. That is a scary statistic.

    Do you have any resources you recommend on how to use them. I had a look an degiro but I don't have much of a clue about them so need to do a bit of reading before I experiment.

    They explain pretty much all about them on their page.

    https://certificates.vontobel.com/SE/EN/Knowledge/Knock_-_Out_Warrants

    Up about 50% so far on them.
