NYSE suspended now. How would share values change if people can't trade them?

It's like the way they change overnight which is immediately reflected when trading open. 

The value isn't dependent on trades it's dependent on the potential for profitably which the individuals on the market measure. Your house can increase or decrease in value when it's not on the market and so can companies.

Dr. David Nabarro, WHO Special Envoy on Covid19, is on CNN just now and is saying that there should be no sporting events taking place at the moment and that govts need to be much more transparent with their populace.

Not entirely sure how it would work in the US as they have direct market access there, so it is mostly done based on the order book. I would guess depending on the volume and type of orders it could see things move.

In the UK the market makers could easily adjust their prices and expectations out of hours, and make a killing for themselves in the process...

You can always get a free week of PornHub Premium. It's like Amazon pushing Prime on you if you don't have it.

Don't get why anyone would pay for porn these days. Do they get top quality Hollywood actors and scripts?

I'd have thought the UK government would have done that. 

They will be, she's doing an update applicable to Scotland. Some of the decisions she's announcing only refer to Scotland - mass gatherings for example.

There's a lady who used to be on Boy Meets World doing fully-fledged grot these days. Maitland Ward. I've heard.

Fair enough, was just going by twitter.

It would be quite funny if the Broxburn, Bonnyrigg, Easthouses & Newtongrange games next weekend all get called off all because the Groundhop Brigade say they're turning up.

Containment looks even less effective than was thought if this is true, general isolation and delay look like the only way.

Doesn't that just confirm what people already suspected? Perhaps China, Italy & Iran are going to be the worst case scenarios, or perhaps they're just going to show that unless you quickly go into a complete social isolation or lockdown, the virus is just going to spread at an increasing rate.

Tories going bonkers that Nicola has briefed on the Cobra meeting before they've got their arses in gear and spoken. No one to blame but themselves. Why should she hold back information for the Scottish public whilst Boris messes up his hair and scratches his arse, or whatever it is he's doing before he briefs?
