I support the lack of testing for now. If a persons condition isnāt bad enough to require hospital treatment then it seems a waste of a vital testing kit. What will be important though, is that everyone gets a test to see whether they have had it at some point. Gauge immunity levelsā¦If thatās possible. My medical expertise go as far as watching bbc/sky news

The government plans to invest billions of pounds in companies including IAG-owned British Airways (ICAG.L) in return for shares that would eventually be sold back to private investors, the newspaper reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Equity derivates = Options. In case someone didnāt know. 
Bet Stripe, Square, PayPal are seeing similar drop offs. AirBNB etc will also have seen a total collapse in bookings and so all the auxiliary services/businesses would also be affected.

When people are afraid to buy, then thereās a real dip. At the moment thereās still to much of a āperma bullā mindset amongst retail investors.
The market hasnāt fully capitulated yet.

I think they buried their heads alot longer than the UK so can see things ramping up alot faster. Kudlow sounds like his comments might make some Americans lower their guard?

In this age of volatility, i was wondering if Freetrade do OTM Spy puts? i want to use this to offset the 95% of my portfolio during this crazy time. Plan on using them only as hedge insurance, not the ups and down of daytrading seen in some reddit places (!)ā¦

They donāt. No CFDs through Freetrade unfortunately. Plenty of other apps that do offer this though.
Please keep reminding people that social distancing and being at home can save lives.
Stay well.

Donāt the T212 etc ads have a warning saying 70% of CFD customers lose money?
Vanilla derivatives like options would be awesome though.

Agree. Options would be a must for me, gotta hedge but also work the market a bit.
Iām not interested in options as a) Iām not competent enough yet and b) not disciplined enough in my actions to use them wisely. Better to know my limitations and act accordingly
