In a funny way Bitcoins are mentioned in The Book of Revelations . Tesla are by natural anti establishment thats why the CEO is so popular with young people , but its worth noting that he can easily afford to lose $1.5B where as your hippy friend prob can't .

Dutch tulips in the making IMO.

ps In todays news Sainsburys are planning to match Aldi on 250 products.

Try telling 30 somethings to only have one child?

Or to maybe try suggesting to them to not fly for a few years until "sustainable aviation fuel" is the norm?

Through one ear and out the other , yet they are the generation that were given environmental lessons in school and the generation we all were hoping would help save the situation .

Strong leadership is the only way , flight rationing for the next few years? Meat tax ? etc... If the Gov of the day aren't introducing policies that their voters don't like then they aren't making the difference needed to save the planet .We need to be lead cos we can't do it for ourselves cos we are all too selfish .

Is it too early to say the SP may have turned a corner this morning ?

Regarding pension issues, i fell for that last time around during the credit crunch and i now know i need not have worried myself about it cos as the FTSE returned to normal levels as did the pension deficit, meaning it was no longer a problem.

What I do know is I bought BT last time with £22B debts and a much greater pension deficit problems than it has today @ 80p and 4 years later they were £4 .Exactly the same thing will happen this time around too while pocketing a decent dividend as you wait.

This is a £400M profit per quarter utility company at the end of the day that will see profits grow over time as the G5 network and nationwide super fast broadband come online.

Wilco

Its not going to 50p or anywhere near that kind of guesstimated price.

80p is possible given these new variants are in effect a completely new virus.This time around it is being managed differently by restricting travel.

If you want to know the best time to buy follow the actual News itself in regards to the spread of P.1 around the rest of the World and what other countries are doing to try and halt the spread .

"Reading between the lines - may be contemplating a click and collect launch with M&S bricks and mortar."

I got the same impression.

With additional travel restrictions announced this lunchtime by the Gov. to combat variants P.1 and B.1 , its hard to imagine other countries not following suit.

And with new £1,750 hotels bills for returnees its even harder to imagine overseas summer holidays happening this year too.

Given that the UK have added even stricter travel restrictions this lunchtime to combats new variants P1 and B1 its hard to imagine other countries not following suit in the coming days.

And with an additional £1,750 hotel quarantine bill announced for returnees it's starting to look more and more like overseas holidays have been cancelled again this year.

Giant warehouses over a certain size should be given giant rate tax bills .

I am near Henley on Thames but we are in danger of losing a wonderful book shop due to Amazon's impact.

Agreed ,i can remember when Beaconsfield had its own milk depot in the town centre as well as Brakespears in the heart of Henley town .

Whats happening to the SP , this time 2 weeks ago we were toppy @ 1.44p and now we are bottomy @ 1.32p?

If any of the banks are going to pay a decent div this season is going to be BARC making it hard to imagine the SP range not being 1.60- 1.70 by the 18th of Feb.

Worth noting the SP has risen 5-6 days consecutively and may have a few more days to go before taking a breather .

Thats only really Barclays nowadays and they aren't robbing anyone they are asked to help.

What happened to the Openreach minority stake up for sell story, has that fizzled out or will it be returning in the spring post preliminary regulatory approval?

Having seen BT at sub £1 three times in a lifetime and each time it happens a few years later and the next thing you know they are over £3 plus .

Shareholders just need to hold on and remember that .

The Bank of England is tipped to leave monetary policy on hold, citing the continued uncertainty around the Covid impact on the economy. That means leaving interest rates at 0.1% and the asset purchase scheme at £895 billion.

Thanks for the link.

My point is i am simply trying to point out that if new variants ( P1 in particular ) are discovered in the US this may have a negative effect on DOW sentiment which could result in the RR SP getting a double hammering as more travel restrictions are put into force to contain the new spread , giving a chance for the vaccination programs around the world to get ramped up.

If globally we are unable to contain the SA variant that would in effect be the 2nd time a virus has turned into a pandemic in a year, demonstrating that globally lessons haven't been learnt on travel. Concerning , the Amazon P1 variant that started in Manaus an isolated city in the Amazon where during the first c-19 wave 80% of the inhabitants were C-19 pos meaning they should have gained herd immunity are now dropping like fly because of P1 variant .

Interestingly the Portuguese believe their C-19 case increases are a result of the Kent variant ,but thats because incredibly they don't have the science to test for new strains . And even more incredibly P1 only got discovered because a Japanese family thought it was a good idea to take a holiday during a pandemic in a rainforest the other side of the planet .

Its going to stay in this range for some time to come , the P1 variant is spreading fast in Spain and Portugal , while ourselves . US and the rest of Euro are dealing with the early stages of the SA variant.Great news about the Ox Vacs halting of contagiousness that show help with flying in the future but short term that doesn't change the fact that more and more airports are highly likely to shut.

Its worth noting that we are only in this range because of positive DOW sentiment if that was to change over the coming weeks then i think it is reasonable to assume we will be one of the worst hit.
