There are, of course, some potential headwinds on the horizon, including a second wave of covid that sends parts of the world back into lockdown. But there are also potential tailwinds including vaccination.

Personally, I'm actually buying into IAG at the moment. They're a very financially savvy org so I believe they will navigate the situation relatively well (and capitalize well on easing travel restrictions), and I'm also optimistic that come early 2021 a vaccine will be available and the price will rebound as demand and consumer confidence return.
I’m doing the same and have been using This slump in price to ‘lower my average’.

Shame as I nearly sold up at £6+ early this year but didn’t need to in the end. Win some lose some, hence the merits of a balanced portfolio!
