Well I see that the current Coronavirus thing has caught everybodys' focus away from climate change. Although the virus has been great in reducing Co2 lately!
Anyhow I have attached a link below to express what I think is wrong with green energy in general. If you have the time to watch it hopefully it will make you think again about what you consider green.
I believe that lower comsumption of everything & lower/reduced population is the only way forward.
Again the Coronavirus is the best thing that has happened to mother earth in a long time. Is Corona a virus or perhaps it is us.?

Yes.
Not all gilts/bonds are the same. The impression is that when the stockmarket goes up gilts go down & vice-versa.
Most go down along with stocks but to a far lesser degree & you also get anomalies. A recent example of this is in March when stocks were plunging bonds were also doing the same briefly.
Anyhow I am just waiting for things to settle before investing. Looking at U.S. Treasury Bond & Government Bond to take advantage of a future strong dollar.
Don't forget that bonds are also a bit more of a closed-shop than the open exchanges than equities trade on. So although the screen might suggest one thing in terms of price, the actual liquidity available at those prices may or may not be available. A lot of it will depend on the combination of which bond dealer your broker uses. There are moves to open things up. But I don't think its high up on the list of priorities for regulators as bonds are less heavily traded by retail investors than equities. But on a longer term investment it should not matter right?
@wallstreet do you trade full time ?
Your investment strategy suggests so.

Oil is nice & cheaper today!
I'm selling out everything tomorrow. Nice wave up but i'm finished now.
Bonds & gilts seems expensive just now so I'll sit out.
N.B. >$2.00 a barrel (CL1) was at $0.19 at one stage. $0.06 now. $0.02. $0.01. now NEG-.

I predict that Boris Johnson will be president in 8 years & 7 months time.
You know it will happen. Candidates have to have been resident in the US for 14 years, as well as being a natural-born citizen. I didn't mean the President of the U.S. of A.
I was thinking more of the local Boating club.

I agree that in "normal" conditions market crashes knocks about 45-55% off the value of shares. However this takes between 1-2 years from top to bottom to complete.
The S&P index, which I use as my benchmark fell 35% before rebounding to what it is at just now. So according the move is not going to be finished for a while.
The problem that I have in calculating the point of entry is that we have a QE infinity now & that is going to distort the figures for me.
People have got quite excited these years with how much money they have made but QE has basically devalued your £/$ so your money does not go so far. This makes the markets appear to be higher than they would have been. I believe that is why so many are JAM & things are beyond peoples reach financially.
Anyway, I am riding this wave up ATM & will continue to do so for a few months.

I have a theory why we are not allowed access to our money. It goes like this.
When we receive money FS also receives money. So is there a chance that the CC wants to keep FS from this money so they can sue FS for all the failures - which there are many ??
If this money is released then FS's money has to be released ??
Just a theory mind you.
Interesting theory..have you forgotten though that FS no longer exist as a trading company so im unclear as to how your theory would pan out & yet they get 5% of the loans that are recovered.

Maybe you guys need to slow down on the p2p investing? The environment just does not seem safe. Investing in funds/equities seem alot safer and more profitable. CP has quite alot of loans to fill in between now & end of Financial year.
It will be interesting to see how these go.

What I am doing now is to transfer the money I get back & put it into my pension.
Hopefully by doing this I will get some tax relief to counter the losses I am expecting.

This seems a big deal to me. More money raining down.
Seems like the Governments will not let the stockmarket fall at all.
