stock market crash

[cannon999]

I'm in 10k with airlines, not liking my chances at the moment

If you believe this is going to happen there's a very simple and tax free way to make money from any drop..

Good share - will look into as an option.

Just buy this inverse ETF. You can hold it in a SIPP or ISA.

Xtrackers Share Price (XUKS) FTSE 100 Short Daily UCITS ETF | XUKS

It goes up in inverse to the FTSE 100.

Note - not a long term buy and hold due to the way the underlying contracts roll, but great for a few days or weeks.

The 10 year chart is interesting, do you think any doomsters have held it all that time

Inverse EFTs are for very short-term hedging IMHO. They rebalance every day so the roll-over price may not be as attractive as one might hope.

2 minute chart


What do you possibly hope to tell from that?

Nothing, but I tend to dip in and out in-between other things when looking for something to pass the time. It's possible to pick up a quick £50 without too much thought.

Stocks I (DimPrawn) think will either take years to recover or not recover at all:

Airlines
Airplane manufacturers
Cruise and Holiday companies
Hotels
Restaurants & Retail (shops)
Commercial / Office space
Train operators
Airport operators
Oil Companies
Fossil Fuel Power companies
Any companies with very large debt to equity ratio


Stocks I think will grow now or soon

Pharma
Takeaway
Some car manufacturers (electric tech)
Food & Groceries
Online goods retailers
Delivery companies
IT services
Software
Games
Communications
Streaming services
Social Media
Infrastructure
Green energy

This is just my personal opinion. See my sig for disclaimer.

I think airlines and oil will both come back quickly if/when we get a proper vaccine, ditto hotels and holiday stuff. Retail and office wont though. Telegraph has been tipping property REITS I also wonder if some of the tech boom companies are a bit susceptible to not delivering share price wise if they don't have a proper monopoly. I can't understand why Amazon is doing so well, where is it's monopoly ?

I'm in the Warren Buffett camp, if they are hard to understand properly then don't dabble. Same with inflation linked bond funds, anybody want to explain them.

Why not go to Las Vegus instead? If your gains are further ahead than your losses after summing up I'd be genuinely surprised.

People are locked down, they can't go to the shops. Everyone knows of Amazon (network effects).

They use swaps, and the costs of moving swap contracts mean you are guaranteed to lose money holding it for a long time...
