Obviously will be plenty of eyes on this data....will be watching with interest....gla.

I think you will find buffet/berkshire hathaway still hold plenty of stock....agreed their cash position is much larger than normal...plenty of profit been taken ....so to say buffet/BH are all in cash is uninformed/ridiculous......atm i agree with Bloomer B and dont as yet see a recession in the US... a correction in some tech stocks was inenvitable...US inflation data tomorrow very interesting ...gla

What i wrote earlier was meant to be about Musk's actions.. ie p*ssing of the populations of various countries (and domestic) and at the same time destroying the Tesla brand....i personally dont own any tesla shares atm but plenty of people do ...plenty of US tech stocks have sold off but will recover at some stage..but how much has Musk hurt the tesla brand ?...

Now down 35 %+litm..& Musk saying x is under a massive coordinated cyber attack....Musk becoming more unpopular by the day ..apart from in the oval office....crazy times atm

Good to see VOD trying hard some on there not embracing buyback....Assura was a highlight for me today i posted my opening position on this bb last july ...many think the bid is to low....gl &atb.

Are he's actions killing the brand ?

Wonder if musk even cares ?.....

Great posts tyvm....gla &atb

Morning all...this offer of 49.2 i believe does it affect our 9th april dividend payment...i cant see that it does just wanted to know if anyone here knows anything different .....tyvmia....gla.

Morning Gate...yes my B2 visa allows fo upto 6 months at a time which i will probably run now from Oct to march on a annual basis..theres many reasons one being health issues where im really getting affected by the winter/cold weather...got some family there also... have a good week gate gl & atb.

"LBG 40-41p...looks cheap to me...however...13 Feb 2024 10:08

...ive been wrong many times lol......if you wasn't invested here would you think the current level a good entry point ?...i would....the SP could as easily drop into the high 30's but then you would obviously add more......got a large amount of lloyds shares at a reasonable average but will be adding @around 40 if it gets there..........having a good look at other UK shares this morning.......i wouldnt be a day trader atm....but are there some good medium term investments to be made atm imvho.......gla.".....................

I wrote the above in FEB 2024...the question i always ask is am i as confident adding at these levels as i was then..my answer is no...Dividend reinvestment in many shares at these levels is a big question...not sure as yet as there because there seems to be real geopolitical issues atm....never use Drip anyways with dividends....Like a lot of investors i know atm i am / they are scouring the market for possible takeover targets or oversold companies.........will be/have to slim down my UK portfolio as it looks like i will be spending 180 days out of the uk every year and find it hard to keep on top of UK shares with a 5 hour time difference and being 68 lol......Gla and have a good week.

Bb...as lti said you keep making things up..I never mentioned anything about Ukrainians and super cars in the alps lol....they may be I don't know...you was simply asked to justify your claims that Zelensky has stolen and hidden millions with at least a shred of evidence..so far you haven't provided any...calm down your coming across a bit demented now ..gl though

Bb..Why are you getting hysterical ?...i simply asked you to back up your claims that Zelensky personally was stealing and stashing away millions if not billions....if your unable to just say so...gl

After a chaotic week filled with manufactured and possibly organised chaos....Bailey take note..gla

Bb I keep reading your posts saying zelensky is stealing millions or even billions ..can you please put up some evidence of this please..gl

Plenty of interest in the US employment data today ..plus Powell speaking later.......gla and have a good weekend.

I Hope the crucial 26th march statement doesnt descend into we have to do this with tax rises (in all forms) ,spending cuts,housebuilding etc etc because of the Ukraine war ...Reeves &co have already used an unproven 22 billion pound black hole to enact financial attacks on pensioners etc etc ....this government likes to hide and blame imo....

Gate i wrote this on the 6th feb before the 25bp bofe announcement "To make a difference the BofE mpc should cut by 50bps ..the stimulation in house building etc etc etc may begin to kick start the lacklustre UK economy ..especially after the very negative budget and other moves by the present govt.".....more cuts are needed imo...the ECB has just cut to 2,5%....

Morning Gate ..hope your well....yeah been reading a bit about this ....so the BofE says inflation going to peak @ 3.7% this year ?.....to me the March 26 budget statement by Reeves could/will be very interesting....i only hope she doesnt put tax up further in any form and use the increased defence budget as an excuse...i know they have said thats going to be partly funded by cutting their foreign aid budget (although divisive im in favour of that)......26th of march a big day imo......
