Tro,

Sold OMI before today, unfortunately. Im too trigger-happy, lol.

But made profit so all good.

TXP, mentioned needing to hold support at 28.5 on an end of day close, which it then didnt. Mystic clues from the charts.

22.5 at the moment to buy. Tempting but sounds like a hefty delay. Haven't read the RNS yet.

Hey Tro,

OMI, yeah, but sold them already, thinking a pullback was most likely.

Have to wait for the second part now, lol.

Hey kenny,

Just watched this, really good.

Hi mick,

I posted a quote from Tim Moore, economics director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, which included their concerns about the construction sector, if that is what you mean.

Agree re Brexit problems, but also that these issue can be exacerbated or mitigated subsequently, FWIW i didnt recognise the connection with my post from a few days ago either.

Tro,

Thanks for the tip about the protests and tanks.

You are a font of knowledge.

Tro,

Yeah, i was reading about the issues there too.

Finland have said that Russia are herding migrants to the Finnish-Russian border in retaliation for Finland joining NATO in 2023.

Russia has been found to be offering 3 month "study visas" in Arabic-language chat on Telegram, which includes transportation to the border with Finland.

Putin and Iran, one problem after another.

Tro,

Yeah, its well known that Russia and Wagner are herding migrants into Europe.

They hope to overload border security with sheer volume and exhaust the resources of the West to cope with the problem.

Aside from the conventional routes, they are also granting temporary Russian visas to a combination of refugees, criminals and Islamist extremists from the likes of Africa, Syria and Iraq - then sending them on into Europe via Belarus.

They know that the financial cost, associated crime, and threat of terrorism, are hugely destabilising for the West. It's just a type of hybrid warfare.

It's why the likes of Tusk, previously migrant friendly countries like Sweden, and most of Europe now, are so big on border controls, particularly for undocumented men - in recognition of what is happening.

It's only the UK who continue to pretend the influx is normal, and the welfare state can cope, whilst diminishing the terrorist threat as a now ordinary part of daily life.

Russian drug gangs are also heavily involved in people trafficking at the behest of Putin.

Hi InJamesweTrust,

Top contributor, enjoy your posts.

Just wanted to say since you, like so many others with concerns, get shouted at a lot :)

"More than half of UK businesses plan to increase prices and cut jobs in response to Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves’ £26 billion ($33 billion) hike in employer payroll taxes, threatening to increase inflationary pressures.

Some 54% of chief financial officers said they would pass the tax hike back to consumers through higher prices, with the same proportion saying they expected to have lower employment as a result of the move."

James Reed, of Reed Recruitment:

“Many businesses, and especially those in hospitality and retail, are going to have to react by putting up prices, making redundancies, freezing wages, stopping hiring or introducing shorter hours as a result of the measures announced in the budget,” Reed said. “This is not where I was hoping the UK economy would be at the end of the year.”

"The findings deliver a further blow to Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour government, which was elected in July on a promise to turbocharge growth."

Reed Recruitment:

“There is no doubt in my mind that the budget will have accelerated this deteriorating picture and our data suggests that this will continue into the New Year. I think we’re in danger of hitting a wall.”

AXL, 21/22 at the moment.

Tro,

Yeah, It was a good debate.

The beardy guy serves to "gee" the others up, lol.

Tro,

Check my post from 10:02.

In case you didnt see it

- Potentially.

Tro,

Big news on Seascape (not Sealand) the other day. I watched the presentation.

Deal is good, uncapped carry, cash payment and retain 10% in a potentialy huge drill, but nothing happening for a while.

TXP, 28,5 has been support, needs to hold that into close.

Dipping lower at the moment.

Tro,

Im not especially consistent with sleep either.

A bit of a night hawk, It's the vampire gene, lol.

Night-time is party time, lol.

That Piers Morgan thing was really good.

The guests are so knowledgeable, makes for a good debate, even if some are apologists.
