My apologies, lost is the wrong word. Thank you for pointing it out
Our investments mostly in the USA markets went down by 9%. Since the fed cut the interest rates yesterday, now the values have gone back up. In the past, during a recession with people smoking and drinking more, tobacco and alcohol were a good bet. I feel for the poor in the USA who have no medical insurance and there is no NHS. I hope Mr Trump steps up to help those in poverty. So perhaps there is an investment opportunity in mechanical medical ventilators?
