COVID is like flu except you aren't forced to bed, was out running on the third day. Wasn't worth trashing western democracy for really was it?

Sticky you think a 300 labour seat majority of closet commies will be good for Britain. Expect the lights to go out roughly in 2030 as these lunatics push for the impossible net zero cobblers, then when they've failed at that they'll doubtless start raiding large private pensions/ISAs. That's what commie filth does, steal, steal steal then blame the problems they've created on everyone else.

Stp it's the Blair legacy. This is what happens when the damage done to a nation by a p

Sp down because we are about to elect a halfwit as pm who thinks the UK can be powered by unicorn wind, who might windfall tax UK banks. This makes Starmer marginally worse than the present halfwit incumbents.

What should be scrapped in the fanatical net zero nonsense. Subsidies for windmills are a recipe for poverty. China has 1250 coal fired power stations, the UK has 3. Hardly surprising electricity is around 35p a KwH hour compared to 6p in china. The net effect is all energy intensive industry has been reported to China.

It's like that Russell crowe film, a good year, where he uses his lab rats to short the market then buy back before market closes.

I basically agree. Whilst the s & p 500 is overvalued the mood music at the moment is positive so the rise will continue. More specifically Barc is undervalued relative to TNAV due to its dysfunctional investment bank which has a talent for presenting investors with high bills and fines, yet less good at returning value to shareholders.

The reality of the boom is the us is borrowing vast sums to fund an unwinnable war, as well as malinvest in batteries and windmills. Once this extraordinary rate of borrowing stops and subsidising totally inefficient industry stops a huge bust will of course inevitably follow in the late 20s. Whilst they can borrow and print without excessive inflation this of course looks ingenious, when it's actually ruinous.

i don't think it will deal with it. it simply increase by time. i recall ppl saying silly thing about russia being a petrol station with nukes, does that make the west a *** club with nukes and windmills? ultimately anyone who grew up in the west can see how it's deteriorating in terms of culture, language, quality of ppl. the period of us dominance is ending rightly so because it's so utterly aggressive and so totally mediocre.

Labour are all the downsides of Tories, nanny state, anti marriage, nut zero, COVID lunacy and open borders but with added wokeness meaning we'll get blasphemy law, speech laws and probably euthanising of the elderly. In Britain we have a conservative party that can't conserve and a labour party that undermines labour (open borders and paying the work shy).

Basically agree. The poison is government paper, which banks assume to be zero risk weighted. Obviously a psychopathic group that produce nothing and just steal wealth should never be so highly regarded by the financial system in terms of their credit worthiness. States believe they are too big to fail when they are manifestly not.

Rookie you are right the fiat system is creaking and the sexual assaulting child sniffer Biden is about to lose in Ukraine. That being said I do t think it's quite over for the dollar quite yet. The us empire is committing suicide but still has a few more decades to run. So there is money to be made here and elsewhere.

The stamp duty tax is a tax investment undermines the city. Like the other taxes the state levies on employment etc totally economically damaging.

A normal and a special which came to 31 cents, around 24.5p.

Anyone holding at close of play last night gets the divi, the sp dropped around 24p to reflect the share going ex Divi this morning. If you buy today you ain't getting the divi. I'm not sure why ppl are so confused about something so simple.

Their pillar 3 report will have the composition of their capital. The overriding problem with Barc is the IB is capital hungry, has huge costs and historically generated very little return. Having worked there everyone wanted on in the cushty numbers that was the IB The rest of the bank effectively subsidises the IB.

Might be some tier 2 capital. I've not looked most of their capital are either shareholder funds or retained earnings.

Brave to short from here but best of luck. I simply shifted my holdings to emerging markets fund. I'll see how that goes. Daughter is thankfully doing well now and hopefully no permanent damage to her heart.
