    Could be good buying around 80 cents if this outbreak gets really ugly.

I have split them between Heartland and two big Australian owned Banks. Heartland rates are slightly higher. Heartland Bank shares also comprise about 7% of my share portfolio.

    Yes its hard to believe we only started talking about this yesterday. I for one have been extremely reluctant to mention the percentage allocation to cash and short term deposit in case people thought I was unhinged so thank you for starting the conversation. Won't mention percentage allocations now either because its not cool to talk about it after the option value of cash has just shot up so much.

    If it gets really ugly there will be a few more opportunities than KPG. For example, recall what happened to OCA ?
    Pleased I have a significant amount of cash. Although like last time...I could well be like a possum in the headlights trying to decide what to buy or sell.

    Yes mate...the headlights are so bright with Covid its difficult to see anything with real clarity. I might start a new thread soon along the lines of what opportunities are you looking to pounce on in this lockdown ?

    Give us something to do and talk about while we sit here endlessly bored with yet another lockdown. "Go hard and go early". You wouldn't find a bookie even prepared to give you $1.01 back on the dollar for Cindy to say that at the 6.00 p.m. press conference this evening !

    I lost count of the number of times it was used before I logged onto online shopping to order my truck load of bog rolls. A week may be a long time in politics but a day is even longer for financial markets.

    Best of luck and good health to all for the forthcoming lockdown.

    It was 2050 when little Johnny opened the last toilet roll from his grandparents hoarding during the covid pandemic.

    How far things twitch could well come later when lock down extensions or their withdrawal
    / ease back occurs . Bound to be some sort of shockwave effect with tomorrow's opening IMO

    Then again, the avalanche of Retail Investors will all be on deck at a loose end ready to play again ..

    Payday Wednesday or Thursday may see a bit of a rebound ..
