In fact, a good sp performance this week without any buybacks ! Bodes well for results next Friday ? TGIF

Thanks Jim. Had not realised the date limit had been reached.

Daily feature for previous weeks. Buyback over, temporary pause, too close to results or something else afoot ?

Simply Wall Street believe SFR is 'Very undervalued with adequate balance sheet and pays a dividend. SFR (£0.58) is trading below our estimate of fair value (£0.96)'. Price almost at year low. Lots of nuclear work coming up. Time to call the bottom ?

Despite all the awful news, is the maritime focused group worth a punt at these levels ? LOL but seriously, 1.5p looks tempting ...

Yup, skeletons under the bed, not images of a blond female banker much loved by some posters on this board !
A data breach whistleblower has NatWest files under her bed containing current customer details, contrary to the bank’s claims that it is historic information. The former worker has been in dispute with the bank for more than 10 years over the confidential paper based customer data files stored in her home.
In 2006, the data was sent to the worker’s home as part of a work arrangement – in breach of data protection rules. The worker was given the opportunity to work from home and, on the bank’s instructions, used customer banking information to generate mortgage and loans. Over three years, she received thousands of paper documents, many of which – about 1,600 – are still stored in her home. Seems bank will not settle dispute with her to get them back ! Just the publicity NWG needs. Obviously some of the mortgages are still running... Come on NWG, earn your bonuses and pay this lady off.

No Rose tinted specs here. Amazing that even after all these years, Natwest is in the second division for Resolvability - ie how it would be wound down in upcoming crisis without Gov support. Irony indeed. Well done Santander for showing how its done.

Surely repayment of the expensive loans taken out to continue the legal battle will swallow up the 'massive return' if TAN win ? Even if TAN win, where is the working capital to continue coming from ?

Rising interest rates, cost of living crisis, Help to Buy closing early (Telegraph) all point to property market collapse. Bad news for NWG ...

Just wait for the housing market to tank. Both will go down under weight of bad debts.

IMO absurdly draconian drink drive laws are the biggest problem in Scotland. Time to get rid of the prohibitionalists ...

At time of Gulf Mexico disaster, OBarmey had a hard look at BP and found that US holders had about same percentage of shares as UK holders (38% ?). If UK takes bite out of BP, US would surely follow IMO...

JDW puffed by Fool - usually kiss of death. States JDW is a bargain, well-run business with an attractive model, which is simply in a sustained period of difficult trading conditions. Expects underlying strengths to reassert themselves. IMO they have got it right for once ...

I therefore think the company looks cheap at the moment, with its market capitalisation of £915m. The company’s freehold and long-leasehold property alone is valued at £1.1bn and has not been revalued in over 20 years. Its business has a large, loyal customer base and its focus on low prices could help it do well, even in a recession.

I see the current JD Wetherspoon share price as a bargain and would consider buying more to hold in my portfolio with a patient investing mindset.

Blimey, just come back from 10 days away to find BP have undercut all the usually cheaper brands (Tesco, Sainsbury, ASDA). Should help motorists feel less inclined towards windfall grab.

Couple of mill to organisation I have never heard of (PSR Payment System Regulator) for relatively recent misdeamenour (2018) involving credit card interchange fees. Own goals still keep on coming ...

Good news indeed. More bikes in China than anywhere else in the world.

Pub take on sp drop. Inflation is bonds worst enemy, and banks need to hold certain level of bonds. Inflation up, interest rates up, bond yields rise and bond prices fall. Banks then need to buy bonds to make up shortfall, result being less cash available to distribute. Bank sp drops. Time for another pint. Cheers everyone.

Todays drop could be due to VAT not paid by overseas subsidiaries of UK tax registered banks. HMG chasing NWG and others for bout 800mill.

Giraffe, for an animal with such a long neck, you seem to be remarkably shortsighted or have you stuck your head in the sand ? Any comments posted by myself are based on facts in public domain.

Successful implementation of price increases running ahead of raw material and energy cost increases proves that I was completely wrong. Not often I am so pleased to be wrong...
