@MickTurbo said in Corona effect on media stories:

4 or 5 pogba stories have appeared and disappeared, contrary to FIs stated policy. I saw this Pogba dab stuff and immediately bought another 300 Pogba based on my understanding of FI's statement which was clear and unequivocal

"We will not be attributing Media articles relating to any diagnosis of a footballer with coronavirus"

These dab stories at a time where theres treble media for the foreseeable, should have been very lucrative based on all information communicated from FI. Now it appears they are not honouring this position.

Needs sorting ASAP and these stories need to be re-attributed. @DANFI

Sorry to pinch your post here @MickTurbo but this is a fine example as to why I've decided to time out for a month, in case anyone couldn't see a reason.

My port is PB orientated and I am very happy with it. I win divs when my squad performs well. And if they dont, i don't - it's a simple as that. There are no real grey areas.

But Media is far too manipulative, by both the source (Daily Express etc) and FI themselves (removing articles will nilly as Mick illustrates!)

With the spreads still in survival mode, coupled with your dividend wins basically in the hands of editors and administrators rather than athletes, I say there is nothing wrong with sitting out or just avoiding trading for a while and just see any divs as a bonus.

Your portfolio is unlikely to drop too much because of the mad spreads so, theoretically...the only way is up? (Yazz and the Plastic Population, 1988 😁)

I don't recommend a month time out though. That's just for mavericks! 😉

Two things are pretty much certain when I return in a months time...

1. I will have some nice dividends in my account
2. Ericali will still be the most annoying, disliked gobshite on the forum

😉

Over and out

Full confidence in my long term PB holds.
They are going to drop over the next few weeks but will recover.
No point being on FI during this time.

If I wasn't going to react to the very recent crashes in price then I'm going to be less inclined to get involved in chasing media over the next few weeks.

I can have a nice sebatical now away from football 😊.

Enjoy yourselves

Back to it when football comes back.
See you in a month 👋

WE GO AGAIN!

See you people in a month! 👋

Best of luck if you are actively trading during this time👍.
Imma wait until balls are being kicked again, and not just mine!

Stay healthy and stay prosperous chaps and chap-asses 💪😷🚀

THURSDAY 12th March 2020

SILVER MATCHDAY (6 games with EL multiplier)

MB: Ighalo wins media again.

PB: MID PB AND STAR PLAYER goes to Charles Aranguiz...

The Leverkusen player scored the GWG in the 3-1 away win at Ibrox.

Harry Maguire took DEF PB, in United's 5-0 away win to LASH or LASK or something 😂, where Ighalo scored the first (GWG) and won FWD PB, to go with his MB win.

Divs earned:

MB: O Ighalo 3p

DEF: H Maguire 4p (+4p bonus divs)

MID + STAR: C Aranguiz 8p (+8p bonus divs)

FWD: O Ighalo 4p (+4p bonus divs)

I don't know whether anyone has mentioned this but I don't think they should remove stories about Coronavirus now.

It's legitimate media about footballers.
They aren't going to be playing much so EVERY story should count now

I am inclined to agree, but what if a player does get seriously ill from it - I don't think it's right then to make money off that. It's probably best to not have CV stories.
But you're right, CV will dominate and transfer stories will be thin on the ground for now. However, I just can't see FI allowing it.

Of course, nobody should seek to profit from a players illness but on the other hand, some traders specifically deal in buying injured players. They pray on the misfortune of a player and profit from it. That's fine, it's a good strategy.

With the seriousness of Coronavirus, if a player is diagnosed then I don't think people will jump on before 3pm to get the dividends. That is very risky (not to mention a little unethical). So why remove the stories?
If your "investment" that you own already gets sick, a little MB is scant consolation but better than nothing?

I dunno, it's all just messed up at the minute.
Personally right now I don't give a flying fuck about my portfolio or football. They will both recover in the months ahead.

Well this escalated quickly 😲😂😂😂

Basically this Covid shit is everywhere then.

And Cheltenham goes on without a care in the world 🙈.
