I would follow Singapore infection count, good proxy for warm weather.

Big dip today…
A global economic slowdown due to the Coronavirus shutting down Iphone factories in china and Samsung in Korea… We’re waiting for the turn, could this be the black swan event??? or just a bump to continued ridiculous growth, what do you think?
My portfolio down 4% in this morning’s session already

Do you think we’ve seen the worst?
I had to sell all my stock late last week before the crash to open up my isa account, now buying again although keeping a close eye on prices - some seem to have bottomed out, others are still dropping. Waiting for American markets to open as well to buy some of their stock, hopefully.
From Barrons: “ After dropping 228 points on Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is looking set for another drop of more than 300 points as coronavirus fears grow.”
US market to open soon. Let’s hope for some good discounts. Got £8k ready to go.

Ouch! I’m down ~4% on US open today. I’m more exposed to China because I hold Apple, Alibaba & Tencent. But actually the worst performer today is Microsoft, which I didn’t expect.
I actually thought that things would get a worse last week. And that it would become a pandemic because people were spreading coronavirus while asymptomatic. But I also believed that death rates would fall to be more like seasonal flu.
No idea what to do with my holdings, so just holding tight until it’s over. Nothing in or out. Self-isolation!

My ISA allowance is used up. Waiting for City of London Investment Trust Dividend at the end of the month and will invest that.

Spent £9k on Global Clean Energy ETF, Ceres, Greatland Gold, Microsoft, Square, NVIDIA and Micron. Miss-timed the US purchases slightly but still at a 4-7% discount compared to last week.

What a haul 
! My Apple order got rejected for that reason, hopefully another slight drawback during the week and I can get back in, I don’t believe we have bottomed our yet either especially with earnings the next 2 weeks.

Having positioned my portfolio with US 10yr Treasury Bonds, Gold Miners, UK Reit’s, etc. during the back half of last year. I’m now just sitting back and letting it all do what it’s supposed to do. I was expecting this to start to work when the US interest rates started to come down again sometime around Q2 or Q3 of this year. However, although the Corona virus has been an unexpected unwelcome surprise, it does seem to have kicked everything into life a bit earlier than I was expecting. Doesn’t change the mid term fundamentals as I’m still expecting the strong US$ to hurt the EM markets and for the US Fed to have to lower interest rates again later this year.
Best of luck out there everyone.

Fractional shares would be perfect for making the most of days like this.
In the meantime, I used up some spare cash today.

I cant think of anything positive to say, this looks really bad. Feel like I should have bought even more gilts and gold.
Good luck all.
I don’t understand why US investors are selling their stocks, currently there are not unknown cases in USA.
