I hope for 23c share price at the end of the year. I am more than happy if it is more and I am wrong! Have a safe and joyful Christmas all and let's hope 2017 sees this share up where it should be.
Forgive me for actually talking about the share here but I too have a feeling that things might have changed, SP moving up on smaller volumes and generally seems to want to rise. Hopefully things have changed for a good year ending, which brings me to..... A price anybody?
I do not see a car crash the shares seem in equilibrium to me
What the f... are you talking about the stock was a .195 2 day ago!!!!!
Well Observe that's your observation personally i see a car crash. Austria was not a pro EU winner.This far right party only won 20%of the vote in the last election and its a ceremonial position. As for Mario is he weren't buying sovereigns Italy Spain Portugal and Ireland wouldn't be able to fund their budgets their cost of funds would be so high
It seems that polls here in Italy no better than those in the UK or USA! Here they are not allowed to,publish them 2 weeks and the run up to an election
Looks to me that the exit trade of 92m shares done on the quiet on Friday at 19.80 could be the removal of the last of the negative institutional overhang (be it Blackrock or any other players who never understood the numbers in Bkir and tried to correlate them with some of the basket cases in the UK and Europe). Watch the moves from here. Don't be short and don't sell the holding that you all accumulated down at 17.25......if you did listen to sense down there.
the Economist, FT and lala Italian friends say that Remzi was too timid. He only applied labour law changes to first timers when hiring and firing should apply to whole Laboyr market to free it up. The question on the Rev paper was typical Italian convolution Fa too complicated and rambled on. The Senate has 350 members. renzi wanted to trim it to 100 to stop the gridlock rather like USA. Sadly he was then going to stuff it with appointees of his own no elections there!
Bruce the results of the referendum were a lot wider than expected. I think this is a B.S. rally and there will be protests and shutdowns if another caretaker is appointed especially the finance minister. Then again they did vote Berlusconi in for years so I guess they deserve what they get
Once again the negativity of the UK media iro the EU was seen in the leadup to the events over the weekend. Instead of dealing with their massive screwup in leaving the EU ( the majority would rather rescind that decision if given a second chance......not that the Europeans would ever offer them a way back.....good riddance being the call of the day) they setup a hangman jury on a referendum in Italy (nothing to do with the Italian view on the EU but rather a constitutional change that would improve their lot in life by reducing the political hangers on) and then ignore the pro EU winner in Austria making out that the only choice was a nationalist candidate that was never going to make it. The sheer arrogance of the British is sickening and the sooner they choose to deal over their own demise the better. Now that they were proven to be completely wrong, the Euro is back above where it closed on Friday and the European stock markets are opening higher than Friday's close guess what...the doom and gloom pundits on the financial channels have disappeared, spluttering into their next cup of tea. How pathetic. Surely the Europeans can setup their own business channel so we can dump the American/UK harbingers of European demise. Roll on Thursday when arch liberal, Draghi is pulled back from barking the American disaster tune and forced to ratchet down QE and reintroduce Economics 101. Hopefully he announces his own resignation and allows 2017 to start off on the right foot, not the dictates of an American system that hopefully get kicked into touch by Trump, once he finally takes the reigns come January.
Far right was never going to win in Austria .. Polls were all wrong!!! Le Pen will never win in France either she is too polarized. What is scary is that 46% of Austrians support a Nazi sympathizer.
The President of Italy was elected in Jauary 2015 for a 7 year TM. but this is a largely ceremonial appointment. From today's Italian papers it appears a caretaker PM will ba appointed ( not elected - again) the next election is not due until 2018 but could be brought forward. Few like Euro currency it has been a disaster for Italy since inception. Curious not one country fulfilled the necessary criteria to join including Germany. The last Euro currency in the 19 th century was a flop too!
Overblown hysteria, Italy always the same, Renzi already priced in, should continue on our present rise today, i hope.
I'm not getting this rally. The referendum was annihilated and I don't think the people will allow a caretaker lame duck to take over for the next 18 months. When is the president of Italy up for election because he could be out on his ear as well.
i think we are a long way from Italy leaving eu. For a start Five Star have to win a majority which is not even close to a sure thing. After that they have to win 2 referendums. As its in the Italian constitution that a referendum cant be held on an international treaty they first have to have a referendum to change the constitution so as they can have the 2nd one. All the while, as with Greece, the banks will be more dependent on the ECB to keep them afloat and as with Greece, there is nothing like closed atm's to focus the mind on which side your bread is buttered on.
This am sy they expect to govern Italy want to,leave Euro and also the EU. Ifvthatbhappens the whole EU will collapse. It may anyway now. Better for us to get out asap.
Following the turkeys voting for Xmas in Italy Brexit does not look very important. Seems Grexit is now inevitable too. Seriously Italy is in big do da. Not great for Germany either. Hope our dosh in Monte Paschi is safe!
strange to say the Green winning the Austrian presidential was more of a surprise than Renzi loosing. Most likely they will try to keep the government going in italy but they are on borrowed time now anyway. More important to us is whats now going to happen to their banks and what effect that has on bkir. The Euro dropping against the the $ and £ is positive and will no doubt boost FY16 results and will give them a much better sheen than looked likely a few weeks ago with the IMS. Unfortunately its the speculation on the future of the euro thats going to drive the share price for a long time to come. I hope the ECB has a rescue plan in place. God knows they have had plenty of time to draw one up. Have they though? I suspect Plan B is " please God let plan A work" . With the Brexit court appeal in the news this week also its going to be a bumpy one..again
.. Ross .. Trump's. pick for Commerce Sec. http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-cabinet-wilbur-ross-kappa-beta-phi-2016-12 .. part of a small circle of big investors.. when Ross left .. this boi went south.. was doing well until blackrock got into the fray.
You are quite right of course - another Conservative with a Chinese crystal ball (must have forgotten to recharge the battery's) - resigns over the plans for the third runway and loses the bye election to the people who did not vote for Brexit. Now the fun begins - the Supreme Court is required to give its ruling on Brexit, that Parliament should have the last word on the referendum. Will turkeys really vote for Christmas or will they set aside the will of the British people by frustrating their vote in the referendum. What does that tell us about the democratic process and the people who participate in it by voting when given the opportunity. Like it or not skullduggery will happen, because our "servants" in parliament wish to remain there for the perks availed of by the members who are not that well known in their constituencies because they live miles away. When Rupert Allison was the MP here he was like the Invisible Man, spending about three hours a month in the constituency, which was the time that it took him to take dinner with a few of the local members of the party in a local hotel before he vanished back to Buckinghamshire in his Porsche. The democratic deficit that exists in this country is ever more exposed by the lack of informed debate both before and since the referendum. It shows the people who represent their electorate in a far from favourable light, I have not heard one of them put any worthwhile thoughts together apart from Ken Clarke, who can always be relied on to demonstrate acumen and a sound assessment. They don't allow him on often enough, but I am sure that his voice is not silent within the party now after the Richmond result. Out of touch says it all I think. Good luck all.
Torquay, if you can't beat them.... Zack Goldenball replaced by a Lib Dem! Remainders are mobilising, Yet even more erosion of Brexit, it will never happen.
👍
Ah Pete this guy Nomad is wrecking my head altogether. Sure I thought we were taking about the turf and form for a wee punt on the horses. I was thinking to myself maybe I sell the lot and put it on the horses or the dogs. On Monday we have Ayr, Tuesday Uttoxeter, Wednesday Hexham, Thursday Taunton and Friday Cheltenham. A packed week by all accounts and an opportunity to make make a fortune.
Little barb did not go unnoticed due to so much time being devoted to Brexit and politics - but that is the nub of the problem - somehow this present crop of time servers must be persuaded to address the problem of the economy by pulling out their fingers. I am very much in favour of paying them on results instead of allowing them to pay themselves in boom or in austerity whether they have earned it or not. Until there is genuine growth in Europe and it resumes again around the world this is only a game of chance for small or no returns - unless you are prepared to buy shares by the million and who wants to take that risk??
The influx of French companies into the UK - you tell me in Kent - is very welcome I'm sure but how many jobs have they created for British people amongst a population of almost 70 million. How many will remain post Brexit when they rely on free access to Europe, which may not be as easy once St Theresa pulls the plug. Retail businesses here are trading well at the moment because of the increasing success of our local hospitality establishments who are mostly staffed with Europeans. Because a lot of them are encouraged to live in they tend to earn less than the minimum wage in their pay packet because they are charged for accommodation and food. The ones from Lithuania and Slovakia etc are still happy with the arrangement because even at three pounds an hour 80 hours a week puts them well ahead of what they can earn in their homeland - if they get paid. The best staff come from Poland who work hard and enjoy doing so, just as well because once this town gets moving these people have to work hard and for quite long hours. Quite a number of the hotel owners sought to exploit them but failed - they are excellent people mostly and well able to look after themselves - which is why their numbers in this town have dwindled from 6,000 to less than 700. They follow their social network and opportunities to earn money and good luck to them. So far as Monday is concerned - a good day might see a rise to .23 which will probably induce a bout of profit taking. Good luck all not on form this evening because it is - 2 C here and we are not used to it.
