    To a certain extent we're already there, but there's a key difference.

    Lots of people are now coming off cheap PCP deals, anyone working in car sales will tell you that sales numbers are completely through the floor.
    People simply aren't buying new cars like they were previously.

    The glut isn't going to be as bad as thought, owners have not traded the car on, those that have didn't buy another new car.

    Securitization (the technique of repackaging debt and selling it on) has been around since the 18th Century.

    I was building systems to manage repackaged lease hire debt in 1990 just as these instruments were taking off in the UK, ten years before Royal Bank of Scotland bought Nat West Capital Markets (which was when they got seriously into investment banking) and I was working at RBS Cap Markets fifteen years later when the ABN Amro CDO positions (that brought RBS to its knees) were taken onto the books but, hey, WTF do I know ?

    Now I'm retired, I'm too busy doing WTF I want to get into an argument about the history of derivatives so I'm out

    Unfortunately it has nothing to do with Corona virus.... it’s to do with Oil. Russia and Saudi Arabia having a fight

    Russia flexing its Putin bare chested muscles again. They don’t actually sell that much oil.

    We won’t see a reduction in fuel prices because the vast majority is tax

    Saudi's doing the same tho.

    They (and OPEC) want others to cut production further to bump the price, but these guys aren't in the club so they don't have to agree to anything.
    Especially as they'd already agreed to cuts previously.

    Saudi throws a massive strop, opens up the taps and floods the market right at the time when demand is falling.
    Hard to completely blame the Russians for this one.

    Everything stated below is my opinion based on working in and studying finance in the UK, US and Europe over the last 36 years. You don't have to agree with it (Ash) but please don't tell me I'm wrong. Opinion is what it is.

    The oil shenanigans is just business as usual really. Whilst its timing exacerbated the turmoil in the market caused by fears over the impact of CV on the global economy, its not unusual for OPEC and non-OPEC to start supply wars as OPEC is effectively a cartel and the non-OPECs don't like having their revenue streams being controlled by the Arabs.

    Read up on post-Chavez Venezuelan economics (or even Chavez-era for that matter) if you want to gain a better understanding of oil markets (and petrol prices particularly).

    Oil wars does not typically cause a rush out of stocks and shares and into gold, its fear of a recession and that is what we have seen. The index prices will bounce to some extent as there was panic selling going on.

    Whether it will recover completely will, I predict, depend on how things work out in China. If they show that they can control the peak of CV infection without it significantly denting productivity then confidence will return quickly as the expectation will be that the rest of the world can recover as well as, if not better than, China.

    I think with JIT manufacturing being the norm, there's just not enough knowledge in investors about which companies are exposed to risk of going under well enough, so general jitters which then swiftly becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. I think there'll be a relatively strong and swift recovery as the attack vectors go down and rate of new infections fall off (i.e. not yet).

    If you really studied finance, you wouldn’t have kept an S13 for all these years

    Corona virus ( which is the common cold, SARS and this new one) is being bigged up by the media. You have more chance of winning the lottery than dying of a Covid-19 related infection. Corona doesn’t kill you


    You May know more about financial institutions, I and my sisters know more about infections and viruses than you do (Jonny) it’s not going to decimate the world

    Decimate would (literally) be one in ten dead. That really would be an economic problem even if it was predominately non-workers.

    See that is your problem. You think non workers are most likely to get it. It’s people who actually work and move around who will get it. They aren’t the ones at risk it’s the people they come in to contact with

    As Joanna Lumley says, stop being such a ****

    I'm not saying they will spread it. I'm saying they will die from it lol

    The workers spread it, but the oldies and the sick that the workers interact with are the ones that are dying.

    Anyone being sick for 2 weeks is not a productivity issue. If the workers die, the economy is in shit.

    You are obviously struggling with the difference between humanity and economics.

    From a human point of view, old and sick people dying is tragic.

    From an economic point of view, the workers count.

    End of the day, this is a car forum. Nothing we say makes any difference at all.
