I work for a major bank in Switzerland and it looks like they are preparing for a worst case scenario where we have to close all branches for a couple of weeks. This will affect 20k employees.
Holy…if they really close all borders next Monday and things like this happen, SMI will drop to 4000.
-15k my unrealized profits 
-15k, that’d be nice… 
FED just launched QE4 and … nothing happened. This is getting interesting.
-15k? I forgot how to count that low.
I’m at -103k EUR of unrealized P&L.
I think my total realized P&L + dividends since I stated investing are in the range of 150k
Essentially, 2/3 of last 4 years have vanished in 3 weeks.
That’s why I keep saying: you should critically think and decide about investing more than half your portfolio into one single country market, the U.S…
Sure, you would have fared extremely well over the last 10-20 years… but there’s no guarantee that U.S. outperformance will continue forever. Nor that the U.S. is going to at least perform in line with other markets.
Are we sure it won’t reverse at some point, with the U.S. then lagging behind other markets in the future?
If you can answer that question for yourself („Yes, I believe U.S. will always dominate forever“), then go ahead.
From the articles I saw, it doesn’t look like QE, but providing liquidity to the repo market (to make sure things keep flowing if banks stop lending to each other).
Live conference of tomorrow. I expect closure of all borders by Monday next week and forced home office for everyone.
Can it possibly be worse than today? SMI -9.48% 
I don’t wanna be mean but I think there’s a realistic chance that on of the big two won’t be surviving this year. I hope you don’t lose your job.
Already quit my job there by end of next month, moving to a smaller bank.
I now have a 2nd confirmation that tomorrow they will announce a state of emergency. Holy…SMI will get destroyed.
Did i read this right, is the conference tonight at 12:00?
Yes it‘s at midnight!
Just noticed my post got ‘banned’, and wanted to say I am sorry if I offended someone.
Keep strong! I am -25k in my minor IB account…UBS is better I don’t look at 
I’m rebalancing my cash to stay below the esisuisse guarantee…
I am almost 100K down since the beginning of this thing 
at least I did not yet invest my little cash on VIAC 
Another day, another -10k, oh well, let’s hope this virus will be eventually over at some point before we get broke :-p
Ok. 13th pay is gone. Together with a couple of month wages…or more. I don’t want to calculate.
It’s time to buy a bit probably.
I’m too scared to check, but I think it could be a similar number for me… Often in this forum we argue about saving 10 CHF here or 50 CHF there, and then poof, comes an event like this. And I bought a big chunk right before it happened.
I think it’s important now to invest a bit to lower the overall cost and to stay in the “game”. If you know/believe it’s going down (I think everyone here believes it will go down) you might decide to wait. But until when? You might risk to see all rises as bounces and then miss your best occasion.
I am going to invest probably tomorrow or try to set a buy limit. Is it possible in the web client?
