Gold, Bitcoin, Forex . Although gold and Bitcoin gone up a lot since Covid started in December. I’m doing a lot of stock trades in companies hit by the virus. Volatile and profitable, often buy and sell within day’s. Companies not hit by the virus are not good value , and are being used as a safe haven.Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostWhat is the alternative to stocks?
The money has to go somewhere, and even though dividends have been cut, there are still dividends.

Expect a rally to 6350. This is a bull trap. You'd be amazed how many people fall for it."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

This has echo's of the 2008 crash where all the rating agencies were not adjusting the risk ratings for the toxic mortgage debt. Could you imagine the fallout if the pension funds start adjusting to the new reality if the rating agencies actually reflected the current risk. Watch the last 20 minutes of The Big Short, for me it appears history is being repeated but on a scale where 2008 could be a minor blip.Make Mercia Great Again!Comment
