Stock up!
I see 20 mph Mark Drakeford slipped away earlier in the week at a blistering snail's pace that befits his achievements for the people of Wales.
Meanwhile the Welsh are still rushing full speed over the border for treatment courtesy of NHS England.
No-one noticed he'd gone, but apparently he's proud of what he has achieved and no doubt so is Starmer and a few misguided others here.
During his term there has been longer NHS waiting lists, falling educational standards and a stagnant economy. With a record like that surely it's only a matter of time before he's elevated to the Lords. Although he said he would turn down a Lords seat…..so did Prescott, another hypocrite.
‘iechyd da’ or as we know it 'yaki dah' and good riddance.

One might as well read the Beano & Dandy comics. An Oak Tree draws its strength from the Roots not the Branches.
It seems that the general consensus is that most think a Labour win at the next general election will be bad for the UK Financial Markets. But looking back at FTSE 100 performance the last time when Labour where in Government from 1997 (the last time Labour won a General Election) to 2010 (the year the Tory's and Lib Dems formed a coalition Government)the market seemed to perform well (apart from the Dot.Com crash 2000 to 2002 and the GFC 2008, when all of the worlds stock markets crashed). So maybe a Labour win at the next General Election will not be the disaster for UK Financial Markets that many are predicting?

A Labour-led government after the next UK election would be the best result for stocks and the pound, according to a new Bloomberg survey that shows the ruling Conservatives have failed to win back the faith of global investors a year after Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-budget.
About two-thirds of finance professionals said an outright win for Keir Starmer’s center-left party or a Labour-led coalition would be the “most market-friendly outcome,” a stinging verdict on a Tory party that’s long considered itself the natural partner of business and finance.

Westminster detached from Joe Public. Anyone with half a brain knows labour can't be trusted with the economy. Tory failure to stop the boats and labour not helping them is blindingly obvious. Reform will take votes from both.

Clearly you have not read the article, the bar charts comparing market performance through the years tells a very different story - the difference between the two parties is very significant. This outgoing Tory party has faced a challenge (COVID) not seen in my lifetime, and hopefully never again, plus a needless war in Ukraine resulting in a damaging energy crisis. Read the article.
Thx HU..gl
Objectivly, if you look at the UK's economic performance under both Labour and Conservative adminstrations, the net diference is little more than a rounding error.
9.66% 😇

Love & Light

70p end of year
So we now know that the general election will not be in May 2024 but probably in October/November 2024.
I wanted to know what we can expect from Labour and what their previous periods in office actually did for the UK Stock Market - what a shock I got - It is all revealed at - cps.org.uk - The article is "THE STOCK MARKET UNDER LABOUR" the author is John Littlewood. It is a really enlightening read and includes many comparisons of how the UK market compared to European and other overseas market. It is a real wake up call - Enjoy.

Yes it certain would, but would be a much better benefit with 40 Billion shares in issue rather than 63 Billion shares in issue, as the amount allocated to dividends would mean a much larger per share payment.
LTI
So would the share price reaching 90p, a very great benefit.
''Strong resistance at 50p''
Not long ago people were saying that about 48p.
Lower for longer would be of great benefit for shareholders holding for the long term . The share price makes no difference to the amount allocated to dividend returns.
Strong resistance at 50p would send the price lower than current. I suspect the price will breach 50p soon and stay above.

Load up ISA ?
Can't spend what's in the account now, need another crash ......Temporarily 🙂
BLB - you are another example of low IQ
MS continuing with sub 50 purchase - need more sellers to keep it that way.
A relative 1.84p purchase discount to start in less than 4 weeks time.
Aviva consolidating at higher levels - currently up over 50p in a month.
This comes after a period of asset sales to simplify the business - buybacks continue.
3i consolidating above the £25 level - has been an absolutely brilliant investment .
Vodafone going down the Aviva route - selling Spanish and Italian assets. Merger with 'three' would be a benefit.
My hoped for reallocation of returns has been announced. As I was anticipating, the dividend will be halved in 2025 and buybacks will commence when first asset sale is complete
LTI
"50p in Jan 2022 is equivalent to about 56p now"
50P in Jan 2022 is 50p in 2024 you NUMPTY - WTF are you drinking this afternoon.
Shocking.
Smoking mirrors its had a little bounce. T
HE SELL JUST BEGUN DOWN TO MID TO LOW 40s
