Hello folks, this is the first time I'm posting on the forum so forgive me for changing the subject, this is just the most recent post I could find.
I have been on FI for a year now and I love it like I'm sure we all do, but the massive spreads has stopped it in it's tracks. Yes it stops selling, but it stops buying and more importantly shows that FI will interfere with the natural course of the market as and when it chooses which can't be a good thing.
The value of all of our portfolio's is now around 40% less than it was ( a rough average of the drop in sell prices) and it's now stuck like that for the foreseeable future. Had the market buy price been let to fall as it should and not been artificially frozen then traders would have been pilling in again much earlier than the 40% real drop in value that we now have been imposed with, as normal trading would have continued.
How long shall we be frozen? until the spreads are closed and normal market forces are allowed to prevail.

The instant sell price is lower, you can still market sell at the buy price if there are any buyers.

The market isn't frozen just the spread is large to make IS less attractive.

Will FI ever recover from this? Once this is over which could be weeks or months. Surely there will be better money to be made on the actual stock market.

Stock market will pick back up once it hits the bottom of this dip/crash but who knows how long that'll take? Whereas on FI if you catch the next Bruno style rise you could make 100% return in a matter of weeks

I'm sure there will be some people with way more cash in here that they should have due to bad decisions or bad luck depending on how you view it but I don't think there is any way the spreads are reducing until football restarts whenever that may be.

Wouldn't have thought those are the bigger players tho? People who were willing to invest £50k or £100k in the index I'd hope aren't in any immediate financial trouble and can afford to ride the dip until things get back to normal and the market goes back up.

@Wezzyb said in Looking forward.....:

I think it’s safe to say the probability of the season not being completed is high right now, with the premier league declaring an announcement on Thursday I can only see people starting to sell share in players on football index.
I already have my eye on the summer transfer window, investing small in players that have seen a massive drop over the last few days due to the Coronavirus scare.

Id appreciate letting me know your thoughts, hopefully there is still money to be made in the long run 💪🏼

Season will be completed one way or another I'm sure, just a question of when and I'm not sure the Premier League (or anyone) knows that at this point in time

@Millonarios said in Pick the value out of these.....:

All of those players in theory should return to their previous levels. But im not investing in any yet.

When the date the leagues are due to resume come and go without resumption i think these players will drop a lot lower.

I don't think anyone is expecting football to actually restart early April so I don't think missing those dates is going to cause any major effects to market now that the initial drops are in. It'll all depend on how long the next announced delay is going to be and what plans for finishing the season are confirmed

Straight back into team tonight, played 70mins and looked quite lively.

Just got a notification about it but site and app are down?

@nicky540 said in De Paul - Seriously?:

rui 225 without a goal or assist and got a yellow, seems high in a 3-2 defeat too

Crazy score. Purely down to spamming crosses, 18 attempted and only 4 successful
