Is anyone worried about the Dems winning both seats in GA? Betting markets seem to be shifting a bit toward them getting both and that seems to be what sparked the US sell off today.
Personally I would be happy

Shares wise - good for EV, green and generally his large stimulus package. Probably less good for oils
Good for EV / Chinese companies. Bad for most other things in my opinion.

Whilst I don’t disagree that short-term at least more stimulus would benefit the market, I think medium-long term the inflation risk and dollar debasement could be problematic. I think that’s what markets are reacting too.

Genuine question - why?

Democrats seem similar to our Tories.
Republicans slightly right of Hitler wink

It’s not like either are exactly socialist and both are pretty pro business, don’t see much between them other than Trump not giving a toss about the planet

Which bit?

EV - you said it yourself
China - Biden much more accommodating towards building a relationship with China and doing business with them. His son has already been working on it.
Other things - Biden is anti-tech companies. Not to mention Democrats will be looking to increase taxes and hurting businesses.

The “bad for most other things” bit.

He might well be more pro building bridges with other nations including China I agree, whereas Trump took a more antagonistic approach.

Democrats looking to “hurt businesses” (yeah politicians want to hurt the economy so they don’t get re-elected?) sounds like the sort of comment a Trump supporter would come up with so I will leave it there.

OMG another very bad day for me so far, down 4% already, after 6% yesterday.

Seems to be a trait of AIM shares, where there's ups n downs along the way, for what seems like no reason.

Indeed...I sold all my holding yesterday morning - I just couldn't work out why the stock was flying. Now they are down to 7.5, do I go back in? What's changed to make them worth 7.50 rather than 3.5 which is where they were a couple of weeks ago...whatever I do, it'll be wrong!

I bought in on the dip on Thursday - tempting to cash in today for the easy 20%
Did you get rid?
No - it's not followed the pattern of sell on news (yet), so will see where this goes. Ever the optimist.
With the benefit of hindsight I should have banked the easy 25% on EQT and rebought.

I've had a buy order for EQT since Friday but it's still not gone through. Understand why but it doesn't make it less frustrating.

Things slowly moving back up again it would seem but with one part of my PF dropping 14% first thing that was a shock to the system.
EQT, PHE, SAGA, EUA, SYME all going south.

I did the sell & buy back in lower on EQT & PHE. Woke up this morning at 5.30 thinking I should have waited until today. Turned out I should have. Oh well, in the grand scheme of these LTHs it shouldn't be a problem.

I am. i haven't seen any fundamental reason for the drop.

The thought crossed my mind to buy some more actually (or Blink). I offloaded some last week at $68 & $72 so buying back at $50 would have been a nice discount.
