Wednesday 15th December 7.00pm US Rate Announcement
Thursday 16th December 12.00pm UK Rate Announcement
Thursday 16th December 12.45pm Euro Rate Announcement
Bloodbath due to Omicron? A further discount to current prices is more likely than a bloodbath imho. The markets and Private Investors are waiting for Central Bank Policy Base Rate decisions to be made this week along with the key US Federal Rate decision on Wednesday evening overshadowing events. This will set some direction. This week we have Bank of England, Eurozone and Japan giving Rate announcements. Let’s be clear, the US Rate decision is the biggest stone to be thrown in the pond. So my Current thinking is that pre 2.30pm Wednesday may be a key time to purchase if you believe a U.S. Rate increase will happen…. Hmmm?
Muffster, many thanks for your thoughts.
I have looked at Lloyds so many times but just can’t warm to their ‘penny stock’ pricing. As for the share board on here for Lloyds… OMG. Talk about, aggressive, rude and bickering. Trying to get a sensible view or response on there is crazy!
In fairness, if I were to take a chance on a heavily focused U.K. Bank stock then I would be inclined to take a flutter on Nat West rather than Lloyds.
All imho please MYOC and Good Luck my Friend.
I was about to post something similar.
I think there will be a further drop this week following the big banks announcements this week and the fact that its very unlikely there will be a rate rise announced this week.
Currently loaded up with BARC at 1.82/1.89/1.90 so will wait it out but tempted by LLOY after its drop today.
A short 60 second read relating to the ‘sister’ US$ stock that typically mirrors the movement of the UK stock. Looks like I may not be the only one that sees a potential Buying opportunity? The question is when to strike.

So the 180p Support Level has been breached with the share price closing at 178.14p as I suggested/suspected last Thursday. Next stop circa 173p in a typical one step forward two steps back behavioural pattern? My buy finger is now becoming seriously itchy. The largely unknown threat of Omicron being the major reason for today’s drop as soon as the Dow Jones started to fall on open at 2.30pm this afternoon. Anyone else see a potential (short term) buying opportunity?
All imho please MYOC and GLA.
Eagle great post
I agree the city is clearly out to short the uk market and pay for their bonuses carp bla bla bla
I'm not convinced Omicron is the end of the world. The message from scientists is mixed or inconclusive. The government (BoJo) may be trying to get ahead of the curve - which would be a first time - but it could be a diversionary tactic from his other problems. Hopefully the NHS copes in the coming weeks/months because hospitalisations & deaths don't materialise.
A Journalist on LBC radio who is in America said their Omicron preparations are almost nonexistent. Perhaps we are overreacting a little....perhaps we have got it right. Cannot help thinking 'dead cat'.
However there may be other things to worry about other than Omicron. A few voices on other discussion boards about people hunkering down. Perhaps it will be like the recent fuel crisis....there was 'plenty' of fuel until some Minister said "There is no need to panic", which caused a mass panic. Sorted itself in a week or two.
Are we heading into a blood bath for stocks due to omicron? What are your thoughts guys?
Matt Hancork is 'apparently' a swear word!
Had spatchcork for dinner last night....lovely bit of ****
"I think it’s a shame that the government don’t value people like me or profit from my Asperger’s skills."
=============================================================
BladeRunner, saw a debate in the Commons last week with Matt Han**** arguing exactly the same point about Dyslexia & probably Aspergers. A lot of businesses employ people with those pattern recognition skills including GCHQ.
Hope you enjoy your new car. All the best.
I dont think it will crash It may well drop a bit but it will recover it always will
I bought into shares on 20th March 2020. I sold everything last week. Made a good profit but only in an ISA. About to buy a car with my profits, I think it’s a shame that the government don’t value people like me or profit from my Asperger’s skills. I go for a bike ride and can’t help but memorise every number plate. What a sad twat? No, happy but a bit special. The stock market is about to crash spectacularly and most ‘normal’ people don’t realise it. I should be charging money for these insights however, I don’t need it.
Good luck.
Putin must be quaking in his boots after Liz Truss says there will be "severe economic consequences" if he invades and it would be a "strategic mistake".
The British way of doing politics: "Stop or I'll say STOP again!!".....of course we will still want Russian gas to heat our homes
PS Perhaps it is me but Liz Truss seems about to fall asleep every time I see her....too much partying perhaps!!!
The noises I'm hearing about Plan B could knock on the head the chance of Bank Rate increase.
Lol... or juggling knives! Not sure if the Santa Run for this share is still on track? Let's see what happens over the next 7 days.
Good Luck All
I can see a bit jump here next week - very overdue
UFO means something else, doesn't it?!....a bit unfortunate!
If you like a bit of risk UFO 0.70 silver results out before x mas if should be very good 1.1p easy
Its a serious one to watch am in long trade a bit but very certain come march well over 5.50euros - it moves a bit like this 1
"i just bought BIRG 5,847 under 5euros is a serious bargain "
======================================================
SiverHorse, I presume you mean BIRG at 4.847 Euro?
Bank of Ireland isn't on my radar. I wish you luck.
Hi bald eagle - Am betting on a 0.25 rise dec will send this stock over 1.90 it will happen next year anyway - i just bought BIRG 5,847 under 5euros is a serious bargain 6euros for sure next year
"And is the December 0.15%+ expected BofE Base Rate increase already baked into the falling share price?"
=======================================================
If it is 'baked in' but doesn't happen what would happen?
I thought 'generally' bank shares benefit from an increase....does the falling BARC SP suggest 'the market' isn't expecting a rise in base rate?
It's like juggling cats at the moment!
