Re: Stocks and shares during covid
Either today or tomorrow I’ll be selling my entire SIPP. It’s back to where it was just prior to the March falls, so I’m bailing for a good period. Don’t take that as advice, my ulterior motive is to cash in my HL account with a view to reinvesting entirely with Vanguard which is considerably cheape...

Re: Given the choice would you attend live events at your own risk
Hats off to you, but given your strict requirements for attendance, I’d say you’ve already seen your last game of football at Turf Moor.
So leaving the house petrifies me until the country is clear of it but Turf Moor will be the last place I will be whilst there is any chance of catching it.
