Black Monday

Lol only the Trolls left on here to talk to each other, no surprises there.

This is understandably difficult.....but it(futures) is whats happening ....they are just relaying information...(ok ..with a bit of gloomy predictions).....But this is most likely going to be not good for everyone...even if they are not invested in shares......It would be constructive to look at what are good defensive shares....and which are better to avoid...like Airlines...and rest homes,tourism. Things that get exported to China are maybe not looking so bad (If they are on the way to opening up again?)..China is a brighter spot on a gloomy day....number of cases are falling

bottom might be some way off. who knows the ultimate outcome of all this so prices would have to build in a big uncertainty and when you think about it we are hardly down in the overall big move from 2009

In LA, people just taking enough money off the table for a couple of years living...more yet to happen, will not be that bad in the general US of A attitude still prevails

It really about fear of the unknown, pretty unprecedented.
The trick will be realising when things are becoming known again, before most others.
