Coronavirus: World economy 'may face double recession'
The world economy already faces an economic downturn worse than the Great Depression.
But this could be followed by another “possibly much worse downturn”, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).
World governments are giving trillions of dollars in stimulus packages to help prop up their economies.
Sovereign debts that they are racking up may push the global economy into a second recession, the EIU warns.
Earlier this week, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said the world economy would shrink at its fastest pace in decades, raising fears it will be the worst recession since the 1930s Great Depression.
The EIU now says there is a risk of a subsequent recession, driven by a debt crisis from governments with weak balance sheets."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Are you now saying we should all buy stocks and not sell? Has the market moved so much in 2 weeks that your whole strategy has flipped?I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Come on Whorty, you said it yourself. Keep up with Scoot's comments: first he says that only idiots would be buying, then he goes out and buys. Ergo - he has proven to be an idiot.
Not that we needed any further proof anyway.Comment

Yes, long term stocks are toast. But you can make profits in a bear market, requires good technical skills and no emotion."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Oh no, you don't time the market do you?
Don't even know why I'm posting this, you wouldn't even meet the standards of a village idiot....Comment

No, timing markets is emotional behaviour. Making money is a marathon not a race."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Originally posted by genius View PostWhats your definition of long term? How long are you holding Centrica?
It's simple, you choose something everyone is selling (be contrarian) and then buy it and hold it until you are rich. It cannot fail.Comment
