Cheers! Just reading that. Admittedly I've never thought about anything like this before so I'm gonna presume I'd be hopelessly out of my depth...and I can presume you need to invest an awful lot of money (that I don't have) to see any return, plus be prepared to wait a long time, correct?

If this is your first time in the market, then I would personally suggest to sit on the sidelines unless you have a pot of money that you can sit on for some time without needing to access it for any unforeseen necessities and even more so in these times of uncertainty for future cash requirements due to the uncertainty of the economy/jobs.

Returns in the biotech sector can be significant as pricing is based on medical developments and announcements during clinical phase trials but there's a lot of stocks in that batch that have had 'hope of success' priced in already so any announcements of set backs normally sees a retrenchment back to previous levels which could be double digit percentage reversals. Trying to price any more traditional stocks now based on future earnings is a pointless exercise whilst the economic future is interlinked to government policy based on medical advice for potential further future lockdowns.

If you really have an urge I would suggest investing in a managed fund with market experts at the helm which also has the ability to 'short' the market as well as a way of not getting burnt if the markets take further fall which would should limit any downside.
 
Having to import ppe from Burma. As one of the sosay big countries of the world what the fuck is wrong with this country? Apart obviously from running down the manufacturing sector over 30+years. The trouble with Britain is too many chiefs and not enough indians
 
Question

AM fans were allowed to come here,increase of deaths in liverpool,do you accept that and the races etc should not have gone ahead? Was the gov too slow to ban mass gatherings?

Making the right decisions at the right time (arrrggghhh) based on the science at the time
At the time going to a game was not considered a big risk,will be interesting to look at the amount of virus in madrid and liverpool later on

Seems they still dont accept it is not just being at a game but all the travelling together and pubs and everything else that goes into the day
 
The stats lady seemed to indicate that 9 in 10 directly related COVID-19 deaths occured in hospital. We shall find out tomorrow from the ONS weekly deaths report I guess

There's plenty of virus in Liverpool but not necessarily corona
 
It is a lot easier to criticise the decisions that have been made. Not quite as easy to make the decisions that need to be made tomorrow.

Disagree, lots of governments worldwide need to start being pro active instead of reactive. If this whole thing is anything to go by, nothing will be done about the climate crises until it's the 11th hour of crunch time.
 
I'm sick to bleeding death of people trying to make fraudulent claims in the welfare system. The numbers have increased and they have jumped on the bandwagon since the lockdown.
They are easy to spot for anyone with a trained eye, as they usually follow a similar pattern.
I want to effin scream when I have to waste my time on them.
Rant over.

Now I’ve got visions of you lurking outside the job centre with a sniper rifle. Please tell me you work for the DSS.
