China has reported no new local cases.
The only new cases were people traveling into China.
From the 1st known case on 31st December to 80,928 cases down to zero took 78 days.
But it took strict lock downs.
This is what we have to do now

What is wrong with these people? This is not tradition. This animal cruelty. Those horses are not harming anyone. It's disgusts me.

When a stock I own takes a big knock I often get some people who, never usually interact with me, enjoy having a dig.
Deriving joy in other people's misfortune doesn't improve your portfolio or make you a better investor, it just reveals you to be a bitter, sad individual.
@RishiSunak
This is probably the biggest blunder you could ever make. Regardless of what your advisers say, a common sense of morality should have made you stay to honour the people who gave their young lives to keep this country a free democratic one. You would not be here if it wasn't for
£32m jackpot - I only need £12m (for a bit of spending money) so if I win the EuroMillions Jackpot tonight I will share the remaining £20m with everyone who likes and retweets this. Good luck! 🤞🤞🤞

My son Monty wrote a poem to his idol. My wife emailed it to him & I laughed saying, “are you kidding? He’s inundated with kids letters & poems, you won’t hear anything back”
My wife got an email today with video attached. Monty hasn’t stopped smiling! Thank you

Ok last week was just a practice, this week it's the big one, £112m Jackpot.
I don't want to be greedy - I only need £12m ;-)
I will share the rest - £100m with you if you RT & LIKE this post (before the 8pm draw tonight).
Hey it's 1 in 139,838,160 chance but it's free.

Awful customer service. They are elderly, you could make a goodwill gesture and would win on the PR front. The world would be a worse place if everyone acted like this.

As a licence payer though - I'd prefer Jeremy Vines £700k a year salary come down a little rather than put everyone else up. It's crazy pay. e.g News presenters Huw Edwards and Fiona Bruce salaries were £200,000 apart.
I've not played the Euromillions for years, so thought I'd have a go on 4 lines. Btw If I win the jackpot I'll share £10m with everyone who RT's and Likes this (what are the chances ay?) but as they say gotta to be in it...
It's a £31m Jackpot tonight on
#Euromillions
I'm not greedy and I only need £11m, so if I win the Jackpot I will share it with everyone who Likes & RT's this.
Good luck, it's a long shot but you've got to be in it to win it!
If there’s one expensive lesson I’ve learned from investing, it’s this:
NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH THE STORY OF A STOCK
I’ve lost money doing this and I’ve seen many private investors lose all their money doing this. It can be heartbreaking.
I know as I post this, there will be
Today’s share price only matters if you want to sell today.
It’s irrelevant to a long term investor of a growing, improving business with big potential.
Big down days, is the markets way of clearing out those who lack confidence in their convictions. The ones who will never make decent money.
Making money in the markets is not easy. It’s easy to sell. It’s harder to hold but you get rewarded for it.
Has inflation peaked? In the last month

Scotland introduces minimum unit pricing at 50p per unit.
A 2 litre bottle of strong cider, which contained more than the weekly recommended limit for alcohol (14 units), could be bought for as little as £2.50. It will now cost at least £7.50.
If you’re really desperate for money this week, then sell your stocks (and accept a really poor price from the market).
However if you’re desperate for money you shouldn’t be trading stocks.
Otherwise sit tight & wait for the big rally, coming soon…
If you're holding the shares of a company who’s business is growing & improving (and will continue to do so for months / years to come) do not be concerned about the price the market offers for those shares today / tomorrow - unless you want to take advantage of a bargain price.

on my YouTube Channel on 18th August 2019 at 7.25p.
Currently its 275p, that’s a 3,693% increase.
So glad I sold before it started on this meteoric rise 😭🤦♂️
It's a £49m Euromillions rollover.
If I win the Jackpot, I'll skim £19m off the top and share the remaining £30m with everyone who likes and RT's this.
The draw is at 8pm so that's the cut off for taking part.
Good Luck 🤞
Well that was probably the worst year I've ever experienced as an investor.
Looking on the positive side, it isn't over until the fat guy in the red & white suit sings (although he's got a bit of work to do to drag my pf out of this hole)😁
FACT: Trolls become less relevant, the less you engage with them.
Ignore them completely and they are effectively shouting angry abuse at themselves.
This is what they were doing anyway but they just needed someone else to take the blame 😉
The market will emotionally grind you down.
Just when you think it can’t go lower and your portfolio is in desparate need of a rally, it will test you again & again.
As soon as you throw in the towel and crystallise your loss, to add insult to injury, it rallies strongly.
You only lose money if you sell shares at a price below where you bought them at & if you don't intend to sell for 12 months why worry about today's price?
Also selling on big down days is a sure fire way to lose money, as the market’s best days often follow the biggest drops.
Every death in this crisis, from innocent Ukrainian families to young naive Russian soldiers, is down to one man. A man that has not suffered at all.
Putin.
The fastest way out of this war is to remove the problem. The longer it takes the more people suffer.
The last 6 months have been hard work in the markets. Really challenging but what I love about small / micro caps is that half a year of grind can turn around in a week.
All you need is a few risers and it can change your portfolio and outlook completely.
Patience pays.
Aldi announces plans to increase the amount of food & drink it buys from British suppliers by £3.5bn a year within the next 5 years.

You know when Warren Buffett said:
“Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful”
This is the fear... not as easy as it looks is it?
Well that was one of the worst weeks I've had in the markets since... last week.
Looking at the positives though, it probably wasn't as bad as the week before last.
That's August 2018 done.

One day this bear market will end, as they all have and the markets will make new highs and we'll look back at the valuations a lot of companies were, today, and think, "I should've bought more"
The people who lose money in the market are those that sell close to the bottom on fear.
They miss out on 2 fronts.
They crystallise their loss, accepting a bad price for their stocks & then miss the bounce, which usually happens close to sell offs.
Fear is your friend.

(Feel free to watch, like, comment and share please 👍)
The last few months has been hugely frustrating for micro cap investors.
If you’ve held on to a good, improving company even though the sp has dropped. You are doing the right thing.
The markets will rebound, normally just after the less committed have given up.
If you want to become a better investor focus your research on the businesses you own shares in or are looking to own shares in.
Bashing stocks you have no intention of owning will not increase your portfolio’s value.
If the business you’re invested in is improving but the sp isn’t, doing nothing is frustrating (especially if other company’s share prices are moving positively) but patience invariably outperforms impatience.
What's going to happen is... in a few weeks they'll say vaccines are effective at preventing severe disease in regards to Omicron and you'll see the mother of all Santa Rallies.
Prediction:
- Omicron will, largely, be over before the end of January
- Testing & self isolation will be scrapped not long after
- Hospitality, leisure & travel stocks will rally strongly
With regards to the sell off today, don't panic.
If you have to switch off, do that.
There's been 53 corrections & bear markets before this one & many people screamed it was the end of the world & yet the market went on to achieve a new high everytime and it will so do again.
Successful investors can mentally disconnect share price volatility from the business.
The sp in the short term can & will move regardless of what the business is doing.
In the long term the sp will reflect the business.
So focus on the business, not the share price.
If one of your investments 10 bags and it doesn’t transform your portfolio extremely positively, you’re over diversified.
If one of your investments goes bust and it transforms your portfolio extremely negatively, you’re under diversified.
There’s a difference between a dip in the stock market & crypto.
Stocks are valued on fundamentals
When the sp’s go down co’s valuations become more attractive
Crypto is based on hope & hype
When the prices go down this turns to panic & despair, making them less attractive

Bought a lot more on the way up but haven't sold any as I still believe there's a lot more to come.
I've learned that decent returns come not just from finding a good company but holding on.
If you look at the companies de-listing from AIM, they have been listed close to a decade or more but are still high cash burn businesses who will need to raise more money. Their share prices are a fraction of where they were when they listed...
Are investors we really going to
I was getting annoyed today about this market and my portfolio.
Then I thought. Got to switch off. Take the emotion out of it.
If you're sitting on a paper loss of 50% but that company has a road map to several 100% gain over the next few years.
Think long term.

In 6 months time you will see a lot more investors on X.
They will be new investors, who have become aware to the rise of the stock market and investors who investested, at close the top of the bull market, but have switched off due the pain the bear market has doled out to
When the markets are dire, I find one of the best things you can do to help your mood, is go for a walk (especially if it's a nice day).
Ask my dog, she agrees.
I think AIM microcaps are going to have a standout positive year and the more bearish that traders / investors in this sector become, the more likely it is to happen.

This has been a very long tough bear market for UK micro / small caps.
