Excellent posts from both of you. Stagecoach are you confusing volatility with a prolonged bear market. If it is just volatility the price will yoyo like a typhoid patients temperature. Very difficult to time the shots especially when algorhythms rule the day especially in a FTSE100 counter like this one. Look at how Gordon Brown sold our gold reserves at such a time and got a lousy price. I note the present buy back is not helping the SP

The noble lord has now completely lost his marbles. Called for the 2016 referendum to be cancelled. How could that legally be done. Most bonkers idea of the decade.

Surely you do not mean that share buy backs will increase when the market is more volatile. That would be a very risky strategy.

MMs are forbidden from making a false market rigidly enforced. But major companies are subject to algorhythms jobbers follow the market not the other way round so it all comes down to supply and demand.

Shorting is used by all the major pension providers. It is used as a safety valve and to assist liquidity. A sound company will never be brought down by shorters although it can speed up the process with a failing one.

Which sort of Cromwell did you want. Oliver abolished Christmas and democracy. Thomas was executed by Henry VIII.
Would you really think either of them a role model.

Are not all the politicians incompetent. The Police chief is clearly right that police numbers dropping have lead to more stabbings but Maybot refuses to countenance this.
Failing Grayling has made a cods of at least 4 departments. Apparently he could have approached Eurotunnel who have experience of ferries.

And very little ground work has been done on trade deals. Good job these chaps and chapesses are not in business.
I think a no deal is still possible.

in 5 years the highest sp was under £1 see 5 year chart on icon above

But is it euro weakness of sterling strength or a bit of both.

That is true and a year later in July 2017 regained the same high briefly underperformed since. But the dividend stayed the same as ever. If you go in for value investing, good and rising dividends and a sound balance sheet you will always do well in the long run.

According to the icon above the current yield is 4.38%. Better than a deposit account. I used to tell my old lady clients when the market went down that the dividends carried on usually the same!

Very interesting indeed that today the pound is booming against the euro 1.16 highest for months. I wonder why_

The stock market is impossible to predict. My forecasts are no better than most. However I have gone on record as saying Lloyds is cheap and better value than Barclays or HSBC. And will be supported by a good yield. Whatever happens in Brexit our stress testing is better than most of Europe. lloyds has taken few bad risks lately.

Furthermore bragging about your tidy profit is exceedingly non u.

Coming on here as a tyro and berating the rest of us is not a good way to make friends. If we wish to talk about Brexit we blooming well will

I thought there was a gay oriental at the tiller and that TM was just a front. Surely she cannot be for real. I think the thing that annoys me most is the way she invariably sidesteps questions. It is a failing of lots of politicians. But it is VERY annoying. Back into Italy today my word we were almost out of runway when we landed with one hell of a bang.

I set off overnight at. on the journey back to Italy tomorrow overnight at Stansted. Enjoyed an Italian meal in London on Thursday at The Carafino near Sloane Square. A nice reunion with my late wife's best friend whom I had not seen for 8 years - not chicken, fish!!

About 70-80% of supermarket chickens are infected with Salmonella in UK. So why the fuss about chlorinated chicken? It means making tiramisu a gamble. In Italy chickens are scrawnier but come from a farm down the road and have excellent taste.

Short interest tracker shows a nil report on Barclays shorts.

The tro uble with TM is she never listens and acts as a dictator is tremendously stubborn and her plan HER PLAN has never ever changed. She is a remainer at heart who sees no advantage in Brexit. What we need is someone with enthusiasm and knowledge and an entrepreuneral point of view. She is none of these things and like so many of her predecessors does not believe in nor practices cabinet government never answers a straight question and rules by diktat.

Where did you find the Neso short there is no RNS and not on Short Tracker. Indeed since my last post the short position has fallen to 1.8%

I think you mean or cancellation not and
