Would be safer to wait for the bottom of the market, around mid 2021.
Folks thinking we're bouncing back are on another planet. The world will not be the same next time round. Every time someone sneezes in the supermarket the person next to you will jump. Probably a lot more people working from home after all is said n done.
There is no returning to the way things were over the last 10 years, there is no any appetite for it.Last edited by scooterscot; 19 March 2020, 06:17."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Bottom of the market? If it keeps dropping 5-10% a day we'll hit zero much sooner than 2021.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostWould be safer to wait for the bottom of the market, around mid 2021.Comment

With China reporting no new infections then the end is near. Rest of world a few months behind if they implement a similar lockdown.
All will be back to normal by Autumn. There will be a surge in the economy as people embrace YOLO after losing a few family or friends or experiencing a serious illness near miss.
The miracle economy will survive.
Buy those stocks and shares while it's cheap.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Depends how well the lockdown is implemented.
Luckily corporate UK businesses have solid cashflow and their not up to their necks in debt so fill your boots."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
