    Buffett sells off all airlines. Considering Berkshire play the long long game they must think the sector won't make a recovery

    You give people the pill then there's a sexual revolution. Same goes for the vaccine, it'll be flights-a-plenty.

    That leaves a few months to buy as much of 'good' businesses as possible.

    PS don't worry about crashes, the Fed have got you.

      Not touch any of those asset classes with a barge poll at the minute.

      Commodities, sure load up. If you've got means to store oil or buy futures without delivery - great.

      Oh and toilet roll, always know where your local supplier is.

        Buying Berkshire Hathaway is probably a good idea. Let Warren do all the work.

          This will be a theme that complicates matters

          Fears mount of inflation returning with a vengence

          There will probably deflation first though. If the recession is overdone there's going to be a supply shortage once the economy gets rolling.

            Warren Buffett Reaffirms His Faith in U.S. at Berkshire Hathaway’s Annual Meeting, but Sells Stakes in Airlines - Barron's

            The bank and airline shares which feature prominently in Berkshire’s portfolio were particularly hard hit. The company reported a net loss of $49.7 billion, after $54.5 billion in investment losses.
            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.

              Yeah once the economy gets rolling - but do any us honestly see that happening before 2022?

              Even those restrictions were lifted here in Germany folks are not flooding the streets. No one is driving unless they have too. Restaurants all remains closed (and I really need to eat out).

              Oil is not the only commodity in glut, cheese, pork, it's crazy. Deflation for sure 6 months at best 12-18 months being the worst case.

                You should really get people to sign an NDA before putting out advice like that.

                    How did I miss this?

                    Anyhoe - as we all suspected, FTSE 100 dead cat bounce, massive rejection off previous support since April 2017. A year long downward spiral from here on.

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

                      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.
