stock market crash

[rootsnall]

I can smell a pullback coming very soon...

FT did a 'correction coming' article yesterday based on the US markets. But if you are in sensible FTSE shares then the prices are, errrm, quite sensible, I think.

TBF, I think he was right on LLOY though. Took a small punt on LLOY at 37.2p because I think there will definitely be a brexit deal and a strong covid-related recovery in the Spring and they are very sensitive to the UK economy, unlike a lot of the FTSE 100. Would sink in the event of no deal, obviously. Just a small punt, 20k.

Update. Not the best punt ever.

Still, not selling, there's always another day.

Market has known about this for months and priced in the risk already - I mean, that's what I think anyway.

And if we get no-deal and the £ falls then it makes UK PLC cheaper for foreign investors to buy so the stock market will quite likely go up. Look at what's been happening the past few weeks: it's been a consistent grind upwards for the markets.
