just keep an eye on the VIX

Of course you are right. That said a well managed and expanding business in an supportive environment doesn’t normally attract the average AIM punter. An investment needs to have the attraction of a pub fruit machine.

Reconciliation of different accounting standards wrt to fair value.

A jump in share price will always attract bottom feeders looking to flip for a penny. To them it's no different to playing the slot machine in the local. Brokers could n't make living with our them

The absolute horror of having the Opposition taking over the reigns of this country is enough for most to hold their noses. The British population is not dumb as Labour would have them be. Te leftie Remainer media has been undermining the PM from the day he was elected as pay back for Brexit. The real loser is the country as we have no credible opposition to offer constructive advice and suggestion. Just bitter character assassination day in day out. When is Starmer going to pay his fine?

meanwhile yesterday's pump is today's dump. That's AIM

it is never a good time to raise taxes. The Govt has had to support the economy for the best part of two years and throw resources at fighting the pandemic. Yes mistakes were made, but the same mistakes were made by every country around the world and no doubt one would hope valuable lessons have been learnt. Furthermore our population has been growing at a rate faster than taxes collected leaving funding shortfalls wrt social welfare, services and healthcare. There are no issue answers and no painless solutions. The spike in the cost of energy just rounds of events nicely.

I have run fracking operations in the oil field. The practice is commonplace and safe so long good practice is adhered to. Legislation in place in this country is more than adequate to ensure the public's safety and protect the environment. If this court is to move to an era of secure energy supply then it will have too come by embracing a numbest of alternatives not exclusively wind. Shale gas, nuclear and tidal options must all be included to this end

There are any number of suitable rivers where tidal energy can be harnessed as any yachtsman will tell you. If the Govt really wants to increase the level of energy self sufficiency I hope somebody will pick this baton up and have a word with Mrs Johnson.

Yes to all that! That said this Govt is allowing itself to be held hostage by shrill minority interests and is petrified of doing anything that may "anger" the woke. it is a Govt in name only and sadly any alternatives are even worse.

quarter end nonsense. Lets see what happens next week

Redemptions of the fund or funds?, Looks like distressed selling to me. It's happening a lot especially now as many funds have been holding Russian stocks and bonds. Just a guess mind.

Irrational volatility is impossible to trade day to day and its sheer luck if you come out ahead. Back in the day when I was in short trousers I dabbled with CFD’s just before the financial crisis and thought money was just hanging from the trees. Two years later it almost did me in. Sometimes the only way is to walk away and keep some dry powder for when things become overdone. Still have to the t shirt but have slept much easier without the CFD’s. Good luck etc

The man is a fool. Fracking in this country is 110% safe. He should concern himself with countries such as China or India when it comes to the impact of energy policy on climate change. Britain should pay less regard to the shrill ill informed wailing of minority pressure groups through dubious media outlets such as the Guardian.

Many see it as a proxy for UK plc short sighted but het you can’t fight market sentiment short term and hope to make some money

I guess when push comes to shove they don't, so you have to question why they were there in the first place. This of course we all know the answer to. Militarily this has not been good for Russia albeit a tragedy for the Ukraine. Longer term whatever the outcome the Russian economy will suffer lasting damage. Currently vulture funds willing to buy Russian bonds are few. Most funds want out completely instructing managers to liquidate at first opportunity or write off the assets completely. increasingly guidelines state no more investments in Russian debt. Sanctions such strong as these have seldom been used if it all. The economy no bigger than Spain's loosest to shrink a little further still. I am sure China is watching and keeping notes. They'd do well to broker a way out for their "friend"

He might just carve out the bits he's interested in like the Donbass? The separatists will get that they want and the West can stat rebuilding the Ukraine around them. they may come to rue there decision in that eventuality. For Putin and Russia the future looks bleak as Putin has showed too much of his hand, thereby strengthening the case for NATO which will likely see applicants rise. STAR WARS now has to have gained some traction as the world cannot be held to ransom by a nuclear armed despot. Time will tell how much longer Putin can fool the majority of his people into backing him. He will do well to study the fate of some of his predecessors.

But a rat cornered

eh remember they issued 1.5bn back in the day and we have 3.6bn outstanding today so in reality its not a lot.Sadly

Ideology, security and resources
