Trading of securities, options, forex, and futures may not be suitable for all investors. You may lose a substantial amount of money in a very short period of time.

Anyways, I should have kept the short on WTI OIL open, the price has fallen hard today. Never mind, tulip happens.
Waiting for the S&P to fall, it's hanging there reluctant to do anything today.
It's only a loss when you make it a loss.

A good day on the markets, the DAX is up 3 percent. Each percentage point counts.

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostIs it even possible to enforce social distancing in a half capacity pub? I suspect not. My clinentco canteen is still open with chairs removed to keep them all 2m away from each other. Big yellow signs everywhere advising people etc. Yet still people move chairs around so they can sit 4 or 6 to a table like they used to. And this is in the national HQ of the health service...
I think we're going to see a lot of tweaking of restrictions. Maybe coffee shops and restaurants will open but there will be no alcohol sales and they will have to be closed at 9. Cinemas may open and then close again. All the measures will be treated as levers to keep the spread under control. IMO of course.
And confusion about what is being trialed and what is being error-ed. If you thought there were mixed messages until now...
And many companies going to the wall even after the formal lockdown has ended.

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostI think the main difference is that lockdown measures prevent activities, while social distancing measures merely thin ongoing activities. Obviously, social distancing measures are imposed during lockdown too for "allowed" activities, like shopping.
It's going to be interesting to see what activities remain viable. Are airlines viable at, say, 2/3rds capacity? Are pubs viable at, say, half capacity? Many businesses are screwed for the long-term, absent ongoing gov't help (which will probably be offered, at least to some degree).

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostI'm not so sure about this. Social distancing rules will prevent many businesses from opening for a long time. I don't expect pubs to reopen by the end of summer. Not sure about discretionary international travel for holidays. It's hard to see what is going to change in terms of the spread of the disease to make everything reopen.

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostBasically agree with you, although I think social distancing will continue to make a large fraction of retail and hospitality non-viable for many months to come. But it's category different than a lockdown.
