Okay I can see markets are recovering on the bases of hoping lock-down restrictions are lifted and everything is back to normal by June.

Far from it. The extent of the downturn is the complete unknown. Challenging times lie ahead for many companies and individuals. War chests of cash are accumulating on the sidelines.

 I have a feeling it wont be simply a U or V shape recovery. Its gonna be volatile like M or W until a vaccine right? If theres no vaccine and theres a 2nd wave then it will be L game over for the markets.

I think it's is more likely to be a U than a V, as it will take a while to work through a solution. But perhaps it will be a badly-drawn lower case y.

Posting the same text on multiple threads in the space of a few minutes is not going to get you to the answer any faster, or encourage people to engage with much of what you post.

Hi coming back and have lots of questions that will help me decide whether investing in financial markets suitable for me and also for a lot of beginners out there reading this thread and thinking of investing/trading:

Penny stocks are cheap and only available for new startup companies but are the highest risks in the stock markets when volume/liquidity dries up but can possibly offer the most rewards and equity ownership of a company if things turn good?

Bonds are only good investments if Interest rates are high? What happens on negative interest rates? Is bonds buying Government debt?

The best real economy indicators of a country is GDP and Unemployment numbers? Why is it that stock markets dont always reflect this?

Is DCA Dollar Cost Averaging just putting a bit of your salary/wages every month/week into the stock market regardless of share price and regardless of bull and bear markets?

How do you compound your investments over decades? Is it through dividends and interest only? If dividends then what happens when your stock portfolio crashes after decades of holding so how it compounds on losses?

 

Which best non affiliated website allows me to find good companies and their share prices at fair prices below intrinsic value? What search filters I use for this?

Which is more important PE Ratio or EPS when making a investment decision? 

How do I find shares that are undervalued?

Warren Buffet said dont sell shares unless company changes, did he mean sell if company is bought by another company or company is under new management or company changes its product/service/brand/image/logo?

How do I find out total supply of shares offered from a company from their initial IPO? If a company increases supply of their shares after IPO then does that reduce my equity/ownership of a company or devalue my existing share holdings?

If a company offers fractional shares then is that a good indicator because it attracts poorer investors to get a slice of the company pie which means more volume right?

Does a shareholder who has low amount of shares gets invited to shareholder meetings or gets like staff discounts/freebies of that company? For example if I buy 10 mcdonalds shares at $1 each but Im entitled to a free big mac meal token once a week, every week as long im holding their shares? Is it possible to get both freebies/discounts & dividends payouts?

Dividends, will I lose dividend if I sell my share a day before dividend payout date, also are dividends yields paid on share price that I bought at or calculated on whatever the market daily price of that share is?

Which best website that has no affiliation with companies offers good fundamental analysis of companies and also shows red flags/scandals of a company before tv news shows it?

To look at companies financial statements & annual reports, which site is best that offers this information that has no affiliation with companies so due diligence can be done? So I am to look at the Total revenue on a company income statement to see if its increasing quarterly or yearly? Also I gotta look at a company debts/liabilities and as long debts are below company assets value then that is good? Finally how do I know theres good Cash flow in a company?

If I buy a ETF shares will it show the individual share or shares from what companies the ETF basket holds and do I get same rights as a direct shareholder like having equity ownership of a company & getting dividends?

Also for example if I buy ETF that tracks FTSE 100 then that means if FTSE 100 crashes like it did with the corona virus black swan event back in march then my ETF investment has gone down losing my capital?

Finally which is best most reliable stock chart pattern indicator for long term fundamental analysis to go long on a stock/share or ETF and which is the best for short term day trading on going long too?

- Trend-lines

- Channels

- Support and Resistance lines

- Head & Shoulders

- Reverse Head & Shoulders

I haven't mentioned shorting stocks/shares or going short or margin trading/leverage trading as I believe this is borrowing other peoples money to trade but really risky if markets go against you so I leave this out for beginners as you can go into minus - debt for this which is worse than losing your capital to 0.

Anything else important that I missed out on?

Save yourself a lot of trouble and just pick a platform, then decide if you want to open an S&S ISA or a SIPP and then put a regular monthly amount into a globally diversified tracker fund and forget about it for a while.
