my little calculator ( Casio - 1979) has just told me that £1.42 x 111% is £7.42. Unfortunately , I don't think that's correct - I think it needs new batteries.

Very

Extremely un-pc. And vert funny.

Danphonic - good post, you are so right. The entire housing market in this country is not fit for purpose.

Looks good for £1.50+ tomorrow. Time to order some Dom Perignon.
Well, some Stella at least..

Given my poor trading record recently, I am struggling with the concept of "profit" myself. I'm trying to think more positively about the year ahead.
"This time next year Rodney....this time next year..."

F**k me I'm skint!
Can we please not go down that pedantic, semantic rabbit-hole again. PLEASE.

F**k me , I'm rich!

Now up over 4% - looks like a good start to the new year.

PTOT20 - 70,000 shares! F**k me. You must either have:
a) Very deep pockets
b) Balls of steel
c) Insider knowledge
d) All of the above.

No offence BB - I enjoy a lot of your posts, but I'm giving this one to Hexam on points.

I am now 350% bored with this conversation.
Move it along fellas - nothing to see here.

If I may, as an impartial layperson.
The current share price is 100% of what it is (142.48). It cannot be anything other than 100%, or it would be different.
To reach 300 it would have to INCREASE by 157.52, or 110.55%. It would then be 210.55% of what it is now - that's the original 100% plus the 110.55%. Glad I sorted that out - YOU'RE WELCOME.

a) Hey, mxiart - check us out- discussing the IAG shareprice!
b) I would be happy with plus 30% (185.22)- put me nicely back in profit.
c) Masks -purely to spread fear, and hence make it easier to control people's behaviour. I fear they will be with us for years, which is depressing beyond belief.

"haven't started paying for it"

I agree that there is a storm coming - and if the lockdown advocates have their way, I can tell you exactly what that storm will look like.

Missed medical diagnoses for a range of things, most notably cancer.
Delays and cancellations for routine, but life damaging ailments such as hip replacements.
Lost and damaged education.
Lost life opportunities - especially for young people.
Increased domestic violence.
Increased alcoholism/drug abuse.
Increased suicide.
Marriage and relationship breakdown.
Economic damage. Severe economic damage. We have even started paying for it yet.
Social breakdown.
Depression and anxiety.
Loneliness and isolation.
Damaged quality of life for all of us.
I could keep going, but I want to concentrate on watching The World's Strongest Man, and I think (hope) I have made my point.
And all this damage for what? As fordm correctly pointed out, you can't avoid it, you can only kick the covid can down the street. And while individual deaths are obviously tragic ( and I know 2 people who have died from it) it has killed less than 0.1 % of the worlds population, at an average of what- 80 ? Not the bubonic plague, is it?
So even if there is an Omicron storm coming - and I don't believe there is- I suggest we all put on a pullover or some waterproofs, and get on with what's left of our lives.

Interesting - but why did it take this long to acknowledge?

Taverham- nice one. I myself am looking to leave UK for a more liberal environment. Got my eye on a nice little flat in Pyongyang.

Give me/us a break - the market is closed for 3 and a half days - we're just having a bit of fun.

Six? Try forty.
Policies (eg. immigration) that helped fuel a massive property-price boom, and he's built a huge property portfolio on the back of it. Must just be a coincidence.
PS - One of my New Year Resolutions was to try and be less cynical. It's not going very well.
