Naaaa... I think it's all over! The China news just reiterates the reasons why Putin is saying talks are progressing.. Because he's a bit buggered atm... More than I thought he would be tbvh, but asking China for assistance shows he's a lil stuck! Maybe some generals have said nope to the war!...f knows.... but this is defo a shift to the positive for Russian economy and stocks!

Russia asking China for military help shows weakness from the Russians... looks as if this conflict is coming to an end as China is warned by the yanks to not get involved or else!

Interactive Investor, definitely... Rest I'm not so sure

Putin doesn't want Ukraine... he wants a buffer zone between Russia and NATO and Belarus and Ukraine cover 95% .. the rest he's not worried about Baltic states for strategic reasons. Question is will Georgia go ahead with NATO membership, lol.. I'm beginning to doubt it very much! Putin does not WANT missiles or a quick strike strategic force on the other side of the southern flank of Russias borders....Simples!!

He's so far moved Ukraine back 15 years in infrastructure... Displaced the entire nation to prove he means business.. Think he'll come to some terms now for a settlement. NATO are crapping themselves... and won't lift a finger as it's not a NATO protected state, for fear of WW3.

I think he's a clever chap 'ol Putin... biding his time hoping Zelensky will agree to his terms...OR at least come to an agreement he's happy with.. First and foremost it will definitely be NEUTRAL state... NO NATO/EU membership... the rest is just trimmings. So he's kinda stalling Kiev attack... but I have no doubt, to apply pressure he will level Kiev.

Currently Zelensky still undergoing "Hero worship", and living off pats on the back! Said it before... One of these two needs to back down, and I'm afraid it's not gona be Putin. If Zelensky is captured, I don't believe he'll be executed.. too many eyes and sentiment already on him.. I want to see how Putin will play this...BUT i'd rather peace quickly, the displacement, the death, the destruction.. not worth the ask!

All the while, Biden is fuelling the fire... Jeeez I'm actually wishing Trump was back pmsl!

Agree ... This is a conflict between U.S and Russia, a clever one where U.S forces are not getting slaughtered, AND the U.S gets to make money! Ukranians need to realise this and stop looking at the candy drips the U.S are providing. Too much Zelensky hero worship going on whilst he's in a safe bunker no doubt whilst his people are getting displaced or killed.

A good leader weighs up the odds.. This is not doing that, he's loving the slaps on the backs he's getting from everyone! But at what price?? Ukranian families split, living in other countries.. Infrastructure being decimated, and will take years to sort!

Zelensky needs to wake up and smell the proverbial coffee!

@Redinjun, prob after he stocked up the entire east wing of the whitehouse! pmsl

Lol.. let's be honest, Biden wants escalation to continue.. The Yanks have to have unsettling somewhere in the World by their hand..Middle East, Afghanistan and now the root cause on Europe's borders.

The U.S does not like peace.. unless it's in the U.S... Only Putin or Zelensky can settle matters here, aided by more honourable country leaders...(well at least more honourable than U.S leaders).

BBC is sh**... I don't watch it, they're happy for this war to continue so they can have something to report on and make it all very negative. The same was with Covid reporting.

The channel I gave was bloomberg!

L13.. turn on your f***ing TV, if u have one and tune to Sky Chan 502 ffs

This is great news for a Friday leading into a weekend where more talks on peace could be escalated with a positive resolution forward!

@Aiminghigh...are u the first?? lmao

Watch the shorters come out from under their rocks ...legs shaking trying to save their backsides lol...who's gonna be first!?

BloodyRB... turn on your TV... turn to Bloomberg chan 502, ffs

As the title says... just on Bloomberg!

TBH... I believe they are selling out...BUT at a very small rate rather than as a lump, just to satisfy the general sentiment. They're prob hoping this conflict will come to a resolution before they've shifted much of their holdings.

Public image means a lot to these large funds, so the statement was required from their behalf... but no-one said at what rate they had to offload!!

Guys, first we had, (and still do), have American involvement and now we have an EU statement, (ERMA), specifically mentioning MKango. This has now become more global involvement rather than just Countries. We've basically setups a complete head to tail production facility of a world class, GREATLY needed resource, who's importance has been much further heightened during this oil crisis!

IMO, it's a massive move on a global scale..

IMO, poss RNS tomorrow or Monday... matters little tbh. There'll be a rally on Friday for RNS on Monday, IF no RNS tomorrow.. Monday would suit better if there's the Sunday roast podcast coming out over the weekend. Either way you look at it..looks good.

Nice one Rob, unfortunately couldn't get the timing right with BMN due to cash tie up at the time... but 9p area was looking juicy, sods law... but good luck to you on that, hope it continues! EVR and the Abramovich connection made me avoid it... but despite that it still rocketed lol.. again, sods law! So you did good there too!

Wanted to dip toe in POG at 1.05 p, but crapped myself.. was a mistake in the end as it was a easy 3 bagger in as many days! Live and learn lol!

It's evident there will be a massive market correction at some point between now and the next 2 months and timing it will be an impossible task, so it's best to, (IMHO), stay in and wait rather than chance the timing.
