Check crime according to Eurostat (independent and trustworthy) and look for eastern and western europe and tell me again where it is more dangerous to live? Agree there are people dying been shot but why would i care for a drug dealer to die? Domestic violence is what is important, in the place where my parents live in bulgaria (5000 people) there has been 1 murder for the last 60 years and it happened 6-7 years ago! Seeing Eastern Europe is not different from the "Western Europe" nowadays, "foreign investments" keep coming and changing the countries. Is that for better? Not to me. While people cite how the GDP is growing so fast, people are getting higher and higher wages no one is mentioning the fact people now beg on the streets for food or look in dumpsters (UNSEEN before 1989),some people die because healthcare now is expensive, some people have no homes and sleep under bridges (still bulgaria and romania has the highest percentage of people owning homes in whole EU), or that no one i knew was using drugs in fact in 1994-5 while in hgh school out of about 10 schools in that part of the city all students knew of one guy who was acting funny (getting high) and people were making fun of him. Now people die because of drugs!!! Crime before 1989? You could leave your house or car open for days or weeks none will steal anything, people were afraid of prisons. When you go to prison YOU GO to PRISON. Not like now i hear people go to prison because they have nowhere else to sleep (talking about UK) and in prison there is good food, TV, cable, play pool all in all not too much different from a hotel (except you stay all the time there). Was surprised to find out that in scotland after you serve half of your sentence in prison you could autmatically get out, scotish law! Few nights ago while talking to a polish guy (in bad neighbourhood i agree) 10-15 kids age 10-15 walking by , someone from the crowd threw a bottle on the passing by bus and broke 2 windows, people were jumping all over inside the bus, glasses everywhere ... The driver stopped the bus, loooked at the kids, said nothing and left!!! Come on!! That sent shiver through my spine!! That polish guy then told me number of stories while he has been living in edinburgh. So it was then when i decided that was it living in scotland, now i have to see what will i do with my business and getting mad i started it not even imagining in my wildest dreams crime could make me leave a country in "Western Europe". Anyway ... felt i had to say all that. ATB P.S. I agree living in a quite town is safer, but voluntarily improisement is something i would not love to do ... besides whats the difference between living in a secluded town in the Highlands and a small town in Bulgaria? No benefits in regards to doing business in big cities for both but reduced cost for living in Bulgaria, that is guaranteed.
Enjoyed reading your posts this morning. My wife is Russian and I having seen a lot of Eastern Europe I have learnt to appreciate living in the UK. That said I personally could not live in any major UK city. I live on a quiet estate in a quiet market town, and last night my son’s bike was stolen. So it would seem that nowhere is immune from the scum of society.
61.17 is the support today, 61.71p resistance. If we close above 61.71p today (which i doubt a little) then 63.67 is next resistance so those 2p will be given once the 20EMA gets taken. Healthy gains from markets all around the world after japan rallied. FTSE still in the green, banks are moving well, with rbs outperforming the sector. Radiation leaked into the sea thats a problem, asian restaurants are returning food from japan, rebuilding a country is fine, restoring the electricity is fine but dealing with radiation is a LONG term process. Chernobyl still is an issue with people living in Ukraine. I do hope there are no further issues there as if agriculture/manifacturing is halted the economy will be done in short-medium term. I mean who would drive a japanese cars now? When i believe about 80% of the parts for japanese cars are produced still in Japan. Big issue and i hope radiation issue gets solved. Then the world will move ahead. China is dependent on Japan, world is dependant on Japan.
you are right i am not happy thats why i will be moving out very soon, sorry if those posts are distrurbing to people, i wanted to answer to SirBob and say how i feel.
TNI is still in the middle of nowhere, it has to be decided what will happen with the BSkyB deal, after that is settled then there will be a clear direction of the share price.
It sounds like to me that you are living in the wrong country. If you are not happy, why not try somewhere else.
Turnaround time? nice start. fingers crossed we get a swift return :)
no mate, it has been run by mafia in the 90's when comunism collapsed, "democracy" came in thus the rapes, the steals the drugs and all that. Believe it or not but before 1989 i did not know there is such a thing as drugs, and now drug dealers are chasing young people in clubs and schools. Its a terrible thing! Mafia legalized their money back in the days, now they have businesses, hotels and etc. Non one is dealing with mafia, anyone can open and run their business, back in the 90's it was different thats what made me leave my country but things got better and i realized that actually the crime in bulgaria is less than any of the places i have been. In usa 3 times someone broke into my cars, drug dealers were dealing and police was making sure everything is all right. Here in Glasgow after a Celtic-Rangers game after the game i went to my car and a guy approached me with a knife asking for money. Never gave him any money though but in Bulgaria for 25 years those things never happened to me. In Edinburgh maybe 70% of the city is "council flats" which means mates on benefits and there are murders and robbing takes place every day. Back home except for where you have gypsy neighbourhoods (and thats one per city) nowhere else anything like this is happening. Honestly living in Edinburgh made me feel i am scared for my family, property and etc. even my life. Back home i am sure nothing could happen to me or my family. Dont know how it is down south but in Scotland things are not very nice. Well at least with the cities i have experience with. I hear further north (north of Aberdeen) all towns are nice. Honeslty why people would mess up with your car when its parked on the road?? I have second thoughts now about keeping doing business here. Just today spoke to a good friend of mine back home and at the end of this year and starting next year we will open 2 different types of business back home and this will be it with living abroad.
shame not everyone shares your views, world would be a better place. Isn't Bulgaria still very mafia run though?
lol , i am a communist btw even though in 1989 when it all ended i was only 13 i do remember the days before and can compare it to the days now. Financially i am sure i am better now than my parents ever were but i have found out that money is a tool rather than target and if someone has 100 000 or 100 million its all the same to me. There are basic needs that every family needs and when all that is met anything above is welcome but not a lifelong desire to chase gold and money. While i lived in usa i realized many many things, used to chase luxury and liked high lifestyle for some time but not anymore. In fact i am trying to teach my kids to live humble lifestyle and soon when they start school i am sending them to my parents' village in the local school so no private school, no fancy clothes (boy it was all brand names clothes in usa when we lived there), no fried food, no candies, only frutis and vegetables allowed as many as possible. I realized i am what i am because i was brought up as a humble chap than having limousines in the childhood (like my sons had when we lived in usa). I do realize this message could put me onto filter by some people lol , but i am taking my chances :)
I agree a 1 P/E -surely this will rise soon. But like the pair of you - Arkk and Ivaylo - out of funds, but so much to buy, if TNI come good so do my funds! Ivaylo - thanks for someone finally giving there view on how prty will progress in next few weeks.
A party political post on behalf of the conservative party by Ivaylo, Bulgaria Constituency - lol
true, dangerous is to stay close to those levels but while i was bearish few days ago now i am bullish, libya will be put in place, Qadaffi will come down, petrol price will come down as well as high petrol prices puts world progress in danger, food prices are direclty correlated with petrol which increase the inflation, just look at UK as an example petrol and food prices is causing over 4% inflation. Japan will start its recovery, banks will pass the stress test that are coming, it has been announced that banks in UK have lent almost 3 times more money in the first months of 2011 compared to 2010, banks have more liquidity now, things are different than 1-2 years ago. The world needs to move ahead and it will move. ATB
lucky man for sure :) am not used to watching Lloyds being at such low prices for more than a couple of days. . . so i am a bit worried and not really sure if its going to follow the FTSE's rise as much as i would expect. i remember few months ago when it was stuck between 73-74 for couple of weeks and everyone thought that the bottom was achieved. look at us now . . . even TIE thought 74 was a great buy then! i am fully invested too and my targets are still far from current prices so will just sit tight and watch my account grow or shrink.
got married at 26 and now with 2 wonderful sons who keep me busy so i am a good man now :) arkk: you dont think lloy will rise? as saying "bull run"?
on a good move but i doubt it will pass 61.17, any close above 60.02 would be perfect as that played as sucessfull resistance on friday and its generally strong support.
LOL and what happened after 26? :) am so glad i managed to end my attachment to Lloyds during this new "bull run". i never knew how good it feels to be seeing other women for a change :)
good base for lloy at 59-60p, party - 173-175, TNI 47-49 - all forming nice bottom. TNI has exceptional upside potential, lloy first exit 69-70 which is some 20% guaranteeed profits, officially i am out of funds and all money i had left are invested in lloy another tranche at sub 60p, and TNI 2 tranches at 47. Now i wait for VED to get me some % more profit and re-invest the money again in TNI or lloy or both, will be left only with sar, lloy and tni. And i think its a very, very good choice. TNI has a p/e of 1.05%, just incredible value!! Party is a bit shaky which i think will continue for the next 3-4 weeks until the new formed company settles with the news and anticipation then a steady slow rise will come into play. Definitely now is a good value to buy, i would invest more money in the party if i had available :) but if good profit comes from my trades i could re-invest 5-6k for a start. GLA
true, true, current situation reminds me if my motto years ago (age 16 to 26) "so many women so little time" so many shares now on buy limited funds :)
morning mate, been looking at sage group,tesco and ABF, all look like a buy to me too. . . so many oversold stocks around but not enough funds to buy.
it was a buy already and now because of the war in Libya shares will be carried further up, exit 350-355? Just look at the volume last few days.
was that an experiment that no one post for few days? :) Anyway, good tone from europe, lets see if usa will follow (i believe they will), and japan has some good news (connected 2 reactors already) so market is already on a recovery and hope that notion is not a false one. Positive mood around so pretty much all shares are rising, lets see where that takes us.
Sorry, that should read before or after merger-sp will rise??
Barc- In fairness to the TA boys they did predict Barc to drop to 2.65 zone and luckily i headed there advice, will be a great buy if it reaches that, surely?! TNI - Investec posted a buy rating with a target price of £1.07 - I wish!, but i have bought a second batch at 47.5 today. I hope this plan comes together. Prty - some views on when we will see the rise would be appreciated, ie before or after results. All boards very quiet at present, usually they switch between doomsters and optimists, but overall all quiet.
going really well. Fancy both to do well as long as the disaster woes stay away. BVIC going for gap fill :)
