    From RTE:
    Germany plans to extend a travel ban for non-European countries until 31 August, government sources told Reuters on Tuesday, adding Berlin was also strongly advising against any cruises due to the special risks related to coronavirus.

    Tourism/hospitality/cruise liners are all no no's for me. As an earlier poster said another bottom is likely to come, most stocks recovery so far had been based on hope rather than realism with some help from the fed and ecb.

    It has been interesting watching the likes of hertz, carnival, luckin coffee etc going bankrupt or accepting payday loans and recover significantly.

    Bought marathon oil today (mro). Feel oil will recover in the medium term especially with opec cuts.
    Going to hang onto to my safer stocks like Microsoft, alphabet, amazon and coke.

    Note: I'm new enough to trading so take any advice with a big pinch of salt
    Thanks to whoever suggested associated british foods a week or two ago!

    Regarding NKLA have a read of this - https://seekingalpha.com/article/4351653-questioning-nikolas-business-model-assumptions
    Nikola assumes the materials to construct an FCEV Class 8 truck with up to 700 miles of range can be had for $173,624.
    <>
    As for truck build costs, as so few FCEV trucks have been built yet, Argonne National Laboratory indicates it is appropriate to consider experience with similar weight class FCEV buses as a surrogate. In this light, a new 350-bar FCEV transit bus currently costs $768,000, according to Sunline Transit, the largest North American operator of HD FCEV vehicles. This reflects cost reductions from circa $2.4 million per vehicle ten years ago as technology has advanced and more FCEV buses have been placed into service.

    Slight difference in real world costing there and what NKLA are estimating (picking numbers out of the air) what it will cost them - they have yet to build a single truck.
    In other words, this ain't no Tesla, this is snake oil pure and simple. Play it as a gamble if you like but definitely not one to hold long term.

    I believe the period of easy gains is behind us. Whatever you bought in March you made a fat gain on. The amateur paradise hour is over now.

    Perhaps you could summarise the musings of the experts from MyWall street & Motley Fool instead of doing wholesale cut and pastes.

    I occasionally summarise stuff from Davy Stockbrokers, (where I have an account)...and post it here for discussion.

    This is what I was considering. Just know moderators can be cantankerous about these things. After I read the opinion of the professionals I just thought sharing this as an insight with my musings might be of some help.

    I don't think the train has stopped just yet.. people TPing and lowering risk into Fed meeting ≠ end of equities going bid.
    Prob will see S&P at ATHs before a pullback.

    just a passing comment..when you guys are transferring money to your trading account (in ur trading platform) do you transfer euro and do the fx in the platform (for what your looking for USD,GBP...)
    or do you do the exchange from your bank account(think the roi banks have a larger spread) -- just curious.

    Hammered today too, got out of Sonos with a small gain, ironically got out of Tesla @ €820, let the cash sit for a month or so and put it all into Shell yesterday and lost my shirt.

    Ah I have had them a while now as long term stock ( good chunk under the 100 $ )- invested over the years so prob different for me watching them gain and debating when to cash out now ; i cashed out around April last year at 120 bit too early as they went on a rally after but i needed the $

    Definitely won't be investing in LK or HERZ but people are making money on the bankruptcy pumps - Hertz, JCPenney to name but 2.
