    Invest in an Insolvency Practitioner as they can manage a total windup which seems to be on the increase.

    Are you sure you can afford any more, you've probably already lost a tenner on £150's worth of Lloyds (ignoring trading costs).  Quick hurry pick something else, the market closes for the week in five minutes!

    Are you doing full research of the financials of the companies that you are thinking of? Do you understand the businesses? When you decided to invest in easyJet did you consider the impact of the Virus on their future profitability?
