Unlikely China going to alt Russia at this point.

iis not buying in much at the moment, but retail may still be dumping.

My holiday in Ukraine is off then!

So 10% drop over the two days. If Russian forces do not it civilian targets, and keep it military only, that 10% will recover quickly. But remember the rocket attack on the kindergarten? What control does Putin have on the ground?

Next we see how much the iis want to buyin on the cheap shares, seems a couple of % pull back already.

Seems airlines hit about 7%, but RR-- wow 15% down

RR????

Long wait for orders to clear

Well, Rockonuk, that explains why Putin feels he has he green light to go anywhere.

Robbren, you should be a guest on Today, they'd love your poetic wokeness.

Another take on China and Ukraine. No word yet from China following this morning's movements. China may be the limiting factor.

Some ideas on the China perspective.

BBC clearly loving this invasion. Most of the Today team have decamped to Kiev, they have already set about renaming it. Lots of monologues and creative poetic speeches. Pulitzer's up for grabs!! As the saying goes, the BBC does love a good ar. Gives them a sense of purpose, get the gold card out, suite up in the blue UN PRESS uniform and strut around infallible on battlefields. Little content, a lot of self.

TP, knowing how the iis work to fill their pockets with pi money, I would expect them to take advantage of mm pricing shares low and all the panic sell orders being placed this morning to sink sps maybe 5% for this sector and then the iis to buy the chap shares much the same as 22nd. What kind of recovery may happen is the difficult one to gauge which could be a loss limit bail point.

Or sit it out like Omicron.

Putin has lost the plot, one can only hope his administration will quickly fall apart now and he is swiftly removed from power. What does China think?

To bail or not to bail?
That is the question.

Th price of hesitating yesterday to sell out yesterday to take some profit means being locked in today and maybe for some weeks to come. I suspect markets will drop significantly on the open so not possible to get an exit price which doesn't result in an overall loss. So will have to look for rises to sell and falls to buy and try and work back the loss of yesterday.

Well done EU, 8 years of fluff and another total international diplomatic failure identical to the Balkans. And again he EU will not accept any responsibility.

US markets sharply down but Asian markets looking stable. Made a mistake today nit taking some profit. New tactic, more out than in from now in I think.

So, this news on renewing entire narrow body fleet just a couple of days before results? Distraction or setting the scene?

Tis is turning into a rather significant dip, although RR has just past break even. Hopefully it is just a market spook!

It's my weakness alnewbe, I just can't bring myself to sell on a dip.

They're back! Fond memories of CND rolling these maps out in every town on Saturdays with the town at the epicenter. It was later revealed CND was largely a Soviet funded organisation setup to undermine the wests resolve and sow seeds of discontent. Looks like the agents have been reactivated.

Now yesterday, somebody pointed out that I had sold at a point taking profite, only to then buy in at a higher price.

Well today, I didn't sell to take profits, and now I'm locked in at a lower price. Of course, if I had sold at the higher price this morning I would now be trying to guess an appropriate re-entry price.

SOme you win, some you loose.
