Treat it like any other day.
Iāve got my eye on good companies, which I believe will be strong for a long time, now I can buy in cheaper.
Iām not going to impulse but everything thatās dropped 50%

The easiest to way to look at it is: donāt overanalyse the day to day movements of the market, instead overanalyse the companies you wish to invest in for the long term.
Easier said than done, obviously, when your portfolio is screaming red at you.

Meanwhile:
At Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing, elevator floors have been divided into taped squares containing images of shoes to keep employees from standing too close to one another. Meanwhile, office seating is arranged in grids such that each worker is separated by at least a metre.

Well, looking at the main stock markets, it seems to me someone threw the dead cat of a roof, it didnāt really bounce, and now the rest of humanity seems to be jumping on its corpse.

Remember we have free universal healthcare.

100% it was always going to get worse from the get go. UK government have been easing the public in slowly to avoid asking everybody to take more serious precautions too early, which could cause people to become bored of the procedures & not abide by the advice at the most crucial times, before the virus even takes hold of the countryā¦
I think we kind of know that without the repetitive talk of impending doom. Lighten up a little please, in time things will pick up and return to normal.

I think @Pazza wasnāt targeting you. If you look at the previous posts they voice similar thing. I think he/she just wanted to cheer up.
Also, something more to cheer up : Hopes rise over experimental drug's effectiveness against coronavirus | Coronavirus | The Guardian

It just all very negative and unless people have been on the planet Mars for the past few months and have know knowledge of the current situation, they know full well how serious it is. Iām just a little tired of hearing this is bad and that is bad over and over again. Thereās enough rubbish pumped out by the media saying the exact same thing. Sorry to vent out, letās focus on the fact - this will pass and times will improve for all.

This is the important part, and youāre quite likely wrong.
Good businesses will shrug this off with high cash reserves, and a business model that works in any climate (political or ecological). Businesses that are struggling may feel the pinch and go under if they are unable to pay their debts because of workforce shortages/resource shortages/lack of customers on the high street/anything else.
Times will get better for some, times will get worse for others, and time will simply cease for the remainder.
Thereās no reason to be negative at all, but be realistic in that media aside: This is a huge event.

I had a happy couple of hours without any media on while doing some gardening. If I could find some sand I would happily bury my head in it for my own sanity.

I donāt think you really got where I was coming from with my remark. I meant this will pass and the markets will improve like they always have done in the past and if you develop a balanced folio youāre likely to do well. No need to over analyse everything one says.

I post a few more serious (negative) comments on this thread with the intention that some newer or younger investors who appeared here by miracle of a free share, can understand potential (imminent) risks, before making potential horrendous mistakes by only reading how āeverything will always go up in the endāā¦ which it wonāt. Companies will fold.
I can be equally positive. Though I do struggle speaking positively about negative things. Some people are funny when talking about negative issues. Iām not haha.
The thought of a new investor signing up in January 2020 and buying beyond meat because his friend said itās the next Tesla makes me actually cringe.
(Last negative comment I promise) (somebody who can be positive on negative issues please take over) (donāt buy cannabis stocks until after the shift from illegal market to legal market has happened) (the virus is serious af)
