    If I were cash rich I'd probably just buy a broad cross-section which is what I do anyway. But I'm not so sadly I can't ameliorate my losses by buying more right now

        This time next year the UK will be more communist that mother Russia as the treasury is forced to buy up half of the indebted UK Plc - with your money.

          No it isn't. It is requisition private hospitals for the duration. Rather different.

          Bluebird Bio (BLUE) are looking quite cheap at the mo. They've always been a bit of a gamble, but if it pays off will be very good return.

            I'm pretty clueless about this stuff. Bores me to death. I might take advice from likes of Hargreaves Lansdowne but they're the ones who sold me the benefits of that Woodford thing that lost me about £4k. Maybe best to get into drug dealing or summit.

              Surely the opportunity was to sell up, get all in cash, and then rebuy at bargain basement prices in however many months time?

                  Only if you time it right.

                      No harm in buying a few solid companies like Verizon or AT&T but generally a bit early to wade in. This could be over by the end of April or it could go on for months. If it's over by the end of April, now's the time to get in, if not could get worse.

                      This is a lot harder to call than 2003 or 2008.
