INdeed it is having quickly gone (sorry split infinitive) from 80 to 140. In case it has escaped you all shares plunging at the moment!

Have a look at today's Guardian even they think brexit inevitable.

Yes as I have said so many times the EU only takes 20% of our services. No point in single market; there isn't one. For example France will not take our mutual funds despite UCITS3 . That will not change post Brexit!

Well as brexit is enshrined in law and unstoppable it will happen. The opinion polls show it will be labour annihilated quite how the rest pans out no one knows.

Desert island. A very beautiful woman passionately fond of me and 3 wishes.

Why? Do you mean may or might?

Is not XO the forex arm of SVS. there is no indication they are anything to do with Jarvis in Tunbridge Wells.

Me naughty? But it really could happen. But when we are out of eu what point has the liberal party then?

Yes I agree Burgundy!

But as we know this is untrue certainly among ftse 100 concerns a large percentage of which make their money abroad.

Pe ratios for banks tend to be much lower than other sectors. There has been some talk of low interest rates. In fact do not get confused when interest rates are near zero retail rates are still high the margin gives the bank's a good living.

Duke of Wellington used carrier pigeons. Got news to Rothschild so made investments before the government knew and made a packet

Bad manners if what you say is true. From iNVESTOPAEDIA "A stock is cum dividend which means "with dividend" when a company has declared there will be a dividend in the future but has not yet paid it out. A stock will trade cum dividend until the ex dividend date -after which the stock trades without the dividend rights" It is obvious really otherwise you could buy the shares in June and collect the October dividend.

I had about 6 investment exams and had a fellowship. Cum is Latin for with. If you sell before the ex div date you sell with the dividend. You are only entitled to it if you sell ex diividend when the share register closes. Get yourself a stock market glossary the Lamont one is very good.

Well if he sold on 1 August it is very much cum div as 8august the shares go ex. In other words he will not get the div but will get a higher stock price. Except the price is falling off a cliff.

Xd 8 august. Bad sign spelling cum div. Brecon petition obviously started by constituents. The Tories were completely bonkers to select the same man again. Far age correctly predicted liberal win.

It always seems mad to me th st I can buy scotch in Italy far cheaper than UK e.g. j and b is about €11

The reason is quite simple,. The US market is far bigger than the UK. There are literally dozens of blue chip shares with double figure yields. It is the institutions. And the continual falling share price does not help

Seems rather non u to mention it so soon. But.....Mr Conlan had 30% of the shares. So either they will be inherited perhaps by the family or , and this is the case either way, the company is already "in play". Remember the Telegraph had a full sheet praising this company a year ago. It is a global player with US type technology. I have a position here bought about4 months ago.

The Lockie could bed and ISA if he has not used all his allowance. to protect against CGT in the future. Could be important if we get a Trotsky Corbyn government.
